GTA 6 Weapons List

GTA 6 Weapons List (July 2026) All Handguns, Rifles & More

Table Of Contents

GTA 6 weapons span seven categories — handguns, shotguns, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, launchers, and melee — with over 30 individual guns already confirmed across trailers, screenshots, and Ultimate Edition reveals. Jason and Lucia can carry only two rifles and two pistols at once, storing the rest in their vehicle’s trunk, a clear shift from GTA V’s unlimited pocket arsenal. I’ve gone through every piece of official Rockstar footage to break down each confirmed weapon, its real-world inspiration, and the customization options you can expect at launch. Here’s the quick-glance table before we dig into each category in detail.

Rockstar has shown over 30 individual weapons so far, and that number keeps climbing.

GTA 6 Handguns

Handguns are your go-to for quick draws and tight escapes. The Girardi ES9 (a Beretta 92FS-style pistol) and the Klose K17 (Glock-inspired) lead the lineup, both getting personalized Jason/Lucia variants in the Ultimate Edition. Rounding out the category: the Heavy Pistol (M1911-style), Hawk & Little Morgan Revolver, Mustang .357 Revolver (Colt Python-style), and the Nipper .38 Revolver. Most support suppressors, extended mags, and cosmetic finishes, and the K17 is rumored to take a “Glock Switch” attachment for full-auto fire.

GTA 6 Shotguns

Only two shotguns are confirmed right now: the Double-Barreled Shotgun, suited to the rural Leonida vibe, and the Pump Action Shotgun (Mossberg 590-inspired), already seen in a robbery scene. Expect extended tubes, flashlights, and stock upgrades on the pump variant.

GTA 6 SMGs and Machine Guns

This category sits between pistols and rifles for fast, close-quarters fights. Confirmed entries include a Heckler & Koch-style SMG (MP5), a Micro SMG (Mini Uzi-inspired, with a Tommy Vercetti pre-order skin), a Compact SMG (Scorpion-style), and the Combat MG, a heavy belt-fed gun based on the M249 SAW.

GTA 6 Assault Rifles

You can’t carry an unlimited arsenal anymore, so picking the right rifle matters. The lineup includes an AK-47-style Assault Rifle, a Carbine Rifle modeled after the AR-15/HK416, a Carbine Rifle Mk II with a heavier barrel, and a Service Carbine in the M16 family. All support optics, foregrips, and suppressors.

GTA 6 Sniper Rifles

For long-range work, Rockstar has confirmed an Assault Sniper (L129A1-style), a Bolt Action Sniper (Remington 700-style), an M14-style Rifle, and a couple of carbines doubling as precision tools. Bipods, variable scopes, and camo skins are the expected mods.

GTA 6 Launchers and Explosives

Heavy hitters are limited but impactful: a Grenade Launcher (Milkor MGL-style) and the classic RPG. For throwables, expect Molotovs, Grenades, Flashbangs, Smoke Grenades, Fire Bottles, and even a Speargun built specifically for GTA 6’s new underwater combat.

Melee Weapons and Gear

Melee options spotted so far: Baseball Bat, Crowbar, Golf Club, Hammer, Knife, and Pool Cue, alongside bare fists. Beyond firearms, the redesigned weapon wheel adds a dedicated Equipment/Gear tab holding items like Body Armor, Lock Picks, Tasers, Trauma Kits, and Binoculars — tools that support stealth and heist-style missions rather than direct combat.

How Weapon Carrying Works in GTA 6?

How Weapon Carrying Works in GTA 6

GTA 6 drops GTA V’s pocket-dimension inventory for an RDR2-style system. You can carry two rifles and two pistols on your person at once; everything else sits in your vehicle’s trunk until you need it. The weapon wheel now splits into three sections — Weapons, Equipment, and Gear — switched with R1/RB. Dual wielding is gone, but you can fire while swimming, shoot from truck beds during drive-bys, and switch firing hands around cover.

You’ll get weapons the usual way: free pickups for melee and basic guns, Ammu-Nation purchases for most firearms, and story-mission unlocks for the rest. Customization carries over too, with magazines, optics, tints, and special ammo types across most categories.
