Railgun in GTA 5

Overview

The Railgun is a heavy weapon in GTA 5 and GTA Online, added with the Los Santos Drug Wars update and listed here at a community-reported price of $730,000. Its datamined figures are 30 damage, a fire rate of about 30 rounds per minute, a range figure of 500 and a clip of 1, longer range than any other heavy weapon here. It fires a single, devastating shot that punches straight through cover and vehicles, then needs a slow reload before the next one, which fits its very low 30 rounds per minute rate. Merryweather Security guards carry this weapon during parts of the Doomsday Heist, so you will face it as an enemy weapon in that content well before you ever fire one yourself. Its long 500 range figure makes it dangerous at distances most other heavy weapons cannot reach. It is bought through the Gun Van's rotating stock rather than a normal Ammu-Nation shelf. This database also carries a second Railgun entry with a slightly different damage reading, reflecting another snapshot of the same weapon's data.

Shots to kill: target health divided by damage per shot (30 damage), rounded up. Time to kill: shots minus one, times 60 divided by 30 rounds per minute - the first shot lands at time zero. Full armor is treated as one flat 200 pool. This weapon's PvP headshot modifier in the game files is 1.0, so headshots change nothing.
