Grand Theft Auto VI is shaping up to deliver one of the most detailed weapon systems we've ever seen in a Rockstar game. Between Trailers 1 and 2, plus a collection of screenshots, fans have already spotted dozens of firearms - from iconic pistols to heavy machine guns and even melee classics. In this instructional breakdown, we'll go through every weapon spotted so far, what they're modeled after, and what roles they'll likely play in the game.

Handguns

Beretta M9 (92FS)

A staple in modern military history, the Beretta M9 is a double-action 9mm pistol with a 15+1 capacity. It served as the U.S. military's standard sidearm from 1985 to 2017. In GTA 6, this is expected to be Jason's main handgun, reflecting his army background and familiarity with service weapons.

Glock 17

The Glock 17 is one of the most common handguns in America and likely to appear in the hands of police officers throughout Vice City. Chambered in 9mm with a 17+1 capacity, it's reliable, modern, and easily customizable - expect extended mags and tactical attachments.

Walther PPS / Canik Variant

Lucia has been spotted wielding a compact handgun that resembles either a Walther PPS or a Canik model. Its small size makes it ideal for concealment, fitting her fast, mobile criminal style. Another shot shows a handgun modified with a switch, turning it into a full-auto weapon - a realistic, though illegal, mod seen in the criminal world.

Colt 1911

The legendary 1911 returns, chambered in .45 ACP with an 8+1 capacity. It's favored for its accuracy, crisp trigger, and timeless design. In GTA 6, this seems to be the choice for elite police or tactical units. Raul Batista's red-dot-equipped version hints that customization and optics may be available for pistols.

Walther PPK (.380 ACP)

Lucia's smaller backup appears to be a Walther PPK or a Bersa Thunder 380 - lightweight, easily concealed, and iconic. With a seven-round capacity, it's not the most powerful handgun, but it's perfect for stealth robberies or last-ditch defense.

Colt Python (.357 Magnum)

A fan-favorite revolver, the Python offers unmatched power and precision. It features a six-shot cylinder and an elegant design. Expect high damage but slower reloads - a true classic for gun enthusiasts and old-school players alike.

Rifles

AR-15 / M4 Variants

From police raids to Jason's personal loadout, the AR-15 and M4 platforms dominate the rifle category. Expect semi-auto civilian versions and fully automatic tactical variants used by SWAT. Players may see attachments like optics, suppressors, and grips - hinting at an expanded customization system.

HK416 / Mk18 Variants

Seen in multiple screenshots, these rifles represent upgraded military versions of the AR platform. Compact, accurate, and powerful, they'll likely be Jason's go-to rifles during high-intensity missions.

AR-10 / M1A (7.62x51mm)

Hunting and battle rifles make an appearance as well. The AR-10 and M1A, both chambered in .308, are ideal for taking down larger targets - from gators in the swamp to armored enemies. They add depth to GTA 6's expected hunting and wilderness gameplay.

Bolt-Action Rifles (Remington 700)

Used by hunters and marksmen, these high-power rifles could play into sniping or hunting mechanics. Their realistic inclusion shows Rockstar's focus on a more immersive open world.

Ruger 10/22

Fans with sharp eyes spotted what appears to be a .22LR rifle in the gun shop. It may serve as an entry-level hunting weapon or for smaller game, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2's hunting system.

Shotguns

From classic doubles to modern pumps, GTA 6's shotgun lineup looks diverse.

· Double-Barrel (Side-by-Side / Over-Under) – Great for close-range combat or hunting but limited by low capacity.

· Mossberg 500 / 590 – Pump-action powerhouses that balance damage and reliability.

· Beretta 1301 / Mossberg 930 – Semi-auto options for rapid follow-up shots.

Expect multiple ammo types - slugs, buckshot, and perhaps less-lethal rounds for missions involving police or security units.

Submachine Guns

HK MP5

Spotted in several heist scenes, the MP5 remains a top-tier SMG. Compact yet powerful, it's perfect for close-quarters combat. Its appearance in vehicles confirms that larger weapons will be usable from passenger seats.

MP7 / MP9 / MAC-10 / Uzi / TEC-9

The gun shop teases several other compact automatics. These weapons will likely differ in fire rate, recoil, and customization - giving players more control over their loadouts.

Heavy Weapons

FN M249 SAW

This light machine gun is a 5.56 belt-fed beast with a 200-round capacity. Jason's military training makes this a natural fit, offering unmatched suppressive fire for large-scale battles.

Milkor M32 Grenade Launcher

Lucia's seen firing this multi-shot 40mm launcher, a returning favorite from GTA 5 - ideal for chaos and crowd control.

Browning M2 (.50 Cal)

Mounted on helicopters, this heavy machine gun will provide cinematic destruction power in high-stakes missions.

Melee Weapons

No GTA arsenal is complete without melee gear. From hunting knives and collapsible batons to hammers, golf clubs, pool cues, baseball bats, and possibly shovels - melee combat appears more varied than ever.

Final Thoughts

GTA 6's weapon lineup combines realism, nostalgia, and customization depth. Whether you're a precision shooter, chaos lover, or stealth player, every category has something to master. Keep an eye out for new attachments, ammo types, and animations - because Rockstar seems ready to make combat in Vice City more detailed and tactical than ever before.
