MG in GTA 5

Overview

The MG is a machine gun in GTA 5 and GTA Online, sold at Ammu-Nation for $13,500. Its datamined figures are 40 damage, a fire rate of about 438 rounds per minute, a range figure of 120 and a 54 round magazine, the slowest fire rate of any machine gun here. That slower rate is offset by solid damage, ahead of the Gusenberg Sweeper's 34 though behind the Combat MG and Unholy Hellbringer's 45. Its 54 round magazine sits between the Gusenberg Sweeper's 30 and the Combat MG's 100, giving it a middle ground on how long you can fire before reloading. It plays as a balanced machine gun, without the extreme magazine size of the pricier options in the class. There is no Mk II version. Its price makes it an accessible entry point into the machine gun class, cheaper than the Combat MG while still offering real stopping power.
