GTA 6 weapons: every gun spotted in official footage

Pistols, rifles, shotguns and a machete - every weapon sighting in official GTA 6 footage, plus what we do and don't know about the arsenal.

The honest baseline

Rockstar has not released a weapon list or a single damage number for GTA VI. Anyone quoting stats right now is inventing them, and this guide will not do that.

What official footage does show is a handful of distinct weapons, and cataloguing those sightings - clearly labelled - is genuinely useful.

The confirmed sightings

The Netflix extended look is the richest source so far: a semi-automatic pistol, an assault-style rifle, a compact SMG in the chase scene, a machete in the countryside, and a combat knife in a close frame. Trailer 2 added a pump shotgun and what looks like an explosive launcher firing in the sticks.

Every one of these is a Community observation. They are real weapons in the footage; their names, calibers and stats are unknown.

What fans expect

The realistic predictions: a full class spread (pistols, SMGs, rifles, shotguns, snipers, heavies, melee) at launch, a modern quick-select wheel, and the classic 'find it to unlock it' progression. All of it is speculation - the footage confirms presence, nothing more.
