Best Assault Rifles in GTA 5
The assault rifles of GTA 5 and GTA Online, ranked by damage with fire rate as the tie-break. This is the class most players carry for most of the game, so the differences here matter more than in any other list.
Damage, fire rate, accuracy and range are Ammu-Nation's figures out of 100. Mk II variants are separate weapons and rank on their own.
#1The Vom Feuer Battle Rifle is a fully automatic battle rifle in the assault rifle class, added to Grand Theft Auto Online with The Chop Shop update. Its design draws chiefly on an unnamed real world rifle, while its magazine is modelled after that of the Vepr 7.62x54r and is shared with the Marksman Rifle. It has damage rated at 41, a fire rate of 52, accuracy of 42, range of 45 and a clip size of 40.
#2The Heavy Rifle is a fully automatic 7.62mm battle rifle in the assault rifle class, made by Vom Feuer. It first appears in Grand Theft Auto Online through The Contract, after an earlier version was cut from Grand Theft Auto V during development. Its GTA Online form retains the later redesign, with a shortened barrel, a forward-angled magazine and small changes to the handguard and charging handle.
#3The Vom Feuer Service Carbine is a fully automatic 5.56mm assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto Online. Released with the continuation of The Criminal Enterprises update during Brioso 300 Widebody Week, it takes its name from a carbine but uses the proportions of a full-length military rifle. Its in-game damage, fire rate, accuracy and range ratings are 39, 63, 55 and 45, with a 40-round clip shown in its weapon statistics.
#4El Strickler is a Vom Feuer assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto Online, added with the Agents of Sabotage update. It is available exclusively to players on the Expanded & Enhanced Edition. The weapon is chambered for 5.56mm ammunition and fires in fully automatic mode. Its name comes from Juan "El Rubio" Strickler, the drug cartel boss and weapons expert.
#5The Military Rifle is a fully automatic 5.56mm assault rifle made by Vom Feuer. Its bullpup layout places it among the more compact rifle designs in the assault rifle class. Government of San Andreas property markings appear on its barrel. It carries a damage rating of 38, with fire rate 40, accuracy 45 and range 45. Its standard magazine holds 40 rounds.
#6The Vom Feuer Carbine Rifle Mk II is a fully automatic 5.56mm custom carbine in Grand Theft Auto Online, added with the Gunrunning update. It is the Mk II conversion of the Carbine Rifle. Its modern, lightweight body draws on AR-15 variants, with styling associated with SAI, while its integrated rail system resembles Colt Canada's Modular Rail Rifle. The weapon has a vented upper receiver, short side rails, rail covers and a tactical collapsible stock.
#7The Compact Rifle is a Shrewsbury assault rifle, a fully automatic compact carbine chambered for STI ACB 7.62mm ammunition. Added to Grand Theft Auto Online with the Lowriders: Custom Classics update, it is built as a shortened AK-pattern weapon. Its design combines a Type 56-style receiver with an extremely short barrel, no stock, a railed AK scope mount and a flash hider. Despite that mount, it cannot take a scope.
#8The Bullpup Rifle Mk II is Hawk & Little's custom assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto Online, added with The Doomsday Heist. It is the upgraded Mark II form of the Bullpup Rifle, chambered for 5.56mm ammunition and capable of fully automatic fire. Its redesign gives the weapon a squarer body, a slimmer barrel, a straighter carry handle and a slightly larger stock.
#9The Vom Feuer Advanced Rifle is a fully automatic carbine in the assault rifle class. Its bullpup design is based on the CTAR-21 and includes a raised scope mount. It carries damage rated at 34, with a fire rate of 70, accuracy of 50 and range of 45. Its standard clip size is 40. A scope, flashlight, suppressor and extended magazine can be fitted to it.
#10The Vom Feuer Special Carbine is a fully automatic 5.56mm subcarbine in the assault rifle class. Its form draws from the G36C, particularly its handguard and carry handle, while its rectangular magazine resembles one used by a 7.62 Galil variant. It has a double-sided selector marked for safe, semi-automatic and automatic fire, though it fires only automatically. The weapon also has ejection ports on both sides and a reversed "LS" marking in its etched metal finish.
#11The Vom Feuer Special Carbine Mk II is a fully automatic 5.56mm assault rifle introduced to GTA Online with The Doomsday Heist. It is the Mk II conversion of the Special Carbine, retaining much of that weapon's layout while adopting an altered handguard, a seemingly shorter barrel, a revised upper rail with smaller iron sights, and an L-shaped lightweight stock. Its overall form closely resembles an assault rifle.
#12The Assault Rifle Mk II is a custom 7.62mm assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto Online, introduced with the Gunrunning update. Manufactured by Shrewsbury and Kabel Manufacturing Weapons Group, it is the Mk II conversion of the standard Assault Rifle. Its altered body includes revised iron sights, a deeper magazine well, a ribbed receiver cover and a collapsible stock.
#13The Hawk & Little Bullpup Rifle is a fully automatic assault rifle in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, introduced with the High Life Update. It combines features from several Chinese assault rifles rather than following one direct model. Its body shape and lower handguard, rear assembly, QBZ-95-style selector, and front section draw from different weapons. The rifle also uses cooling vents derived from a Brazilian rifle and an M16-style front sight and gas block.
#14The Assault Rifle is Shrewsbury's fully automatic 7.62mm assault rifle, also known as the AK-47. Its GTA V design follows the AK pattern, specifically a Chinese AK-47 variant with a side-folding stock, while using a gas block like other AK variants. It replaces the older wooden fittings with Picatinny rails for attachments. The standard magazine holds 30 rounds.
