I'm guessing they're missed out as not everyone has these.

There's not a single best weapon. It depends on the situation.

 

This for me also, it depends on the map for deathmatch.

^ This.

 

For close quarters combat a auto shottie is probably the best option. For mid range gun fights I get out my special carbine. For long shots the heavy sniper. There are also a ton of other scenario's where other guns could be used. Grenade launcher is handy for those using cover and out of your line of sight. MG's and mini guns for anyone in a chopper. AP pistol when in a car chasing someone down. Horses for courses.

Carbine rifle or Special Carbine for most situations imo.

No idea why but the AR is my best weapon. It has supported me through the toughest of times.

What's good about the Pistol .50? (I've never used it). I hope you don't just say this because it's a rare item, and nobody would know the difference.

 

My favs:

AP Pistol - light, quick draw

Combat MG - sheer power & long range

Assault Shotgun - obvious

And for deathmatches: Advanced Rifle - great range (silenced for stealth)

AP pistol sh*ts on everything and anything else... Should be the OP pistol lol... Definitely very reliable and very mobile...

Auto-aim:

 

Distance: Combat MG and the special rifle

 

Close range: Assault shotgun and AP Pistol

 

Free aim: I suck at it so the Assault Shotgun.

Depends on the situation. For death matches, I mainly stick with a Carbine Rifle and Assault Shotgun, both suppressed for stealth. The carbine has very reliable mid- to long range firepower and accuracy, and is good for getting headshots. The assault shotgun absolutely dominates at close range; it is very fast and has decent spread, so you don't have to have great aim. It even works pretty well from behind cover with blind-fire.

 

For missions and survival, the Combat MG and Assault Shotgun pretty much cover all my needs. The Combat MG is especially good for survival; you don't have to reload very often, it has excellent long-range firepower, and is especially good against NPC's in vehicles and choppers. It may be slightly less accurate than an assault rifle, but I hardly notice in actual gameplay. The assault shotgun is excellent when you are being overwhelmed by NPC's; it has bailed me out of many situations.

 

I have a suppressed Micro-SMG which I use as my main drive-by weapon. Not sure if the suppressor really helps avoid wanted levels in missions and free mode, but I have it on anyway just in case it helps a bit. It is also nice for missions since a lot of times the cars tend to blow up easily and then you fail if you are trying to steal something from the driver; I know I am a lot less likely to blow up the NPC's car if I don't get a headshot right away, since it has less firepower than the AP, so that's another reason it is my default drive-by weapon.

 

The AP Pistol is a respectable alternative to any of the weapons above at almost any distance. The lock on range is slightly shorter than rifles, and its zoom magnification is very low, but the thing has incredible firepower and surprisingly good accuracy, even at a longer ranges. It is also the most powerful drive-by gun, so I mainly use it when I want something with a bit more firepower than my micro-SMG.

If anyone is within 20 feet of you the assult shotgun's overpowered range, fire rate and clip sized will decimate them.

what if i use my assault shotgun,by assault shotgun i mean rpg.or i could use a problem eraser.

 

AP pistol sh*ts on everything and anything else... Should be the OP pistol lol... Definitely very reliable and very mobile...

Couldnt disagree with you more sh*t on sh*t you mean now GTFO with your rapid fire P shooter

 

 

Look unlike the rest of the ppl in here i have exp with just about every weapon in the game not to mention the 50000+ kills not to mention the 2000+ dm wins,the fact is different weapons are needed in different situations period.If you wanted to get technical the lazer cannon is probably the best weapon

True gta players know each weapon has its use and place depending on the situation

 

also this thread should be called "Favorite Weapon"

Agreed. If I had to choose one however, it would be the carbine.

Is this The Guy?

 

 

20 feet is ridiculously short range. that's a little more than 2 times the height of a person.

 

You must know some seriously tall people if 20 feet is only a little more than twice the height of a person!

 

 

lmao

 

 

But I chose the Special Carbine because it's the only weapon I use a lot

 

next would be the Assault or Heavy shotgun for close range fights

Short range - Assault Shotgun

Long range - Advanced Rifle, Combat MG

I'm going to vote for the Heavy Pistol or .50 Pistol. Most people don't realize the range and power of these guns. It is uncanny how accurate they are and with head shots at far ranges you can lay any opponent flat with 2-3 shots. That and you look bad ass while doing it. I really hope Rockstar brings back the Magnum revolver. Now there was a gun!

I noticed that there Is no Front of my car option In the poll which sucks since the front of my car gets me all of my kills.

 

Lol this Poll can do one.
