Sawed-Off Shotgun in GTA 5

Overview

The Sawed-Off Shotgun is a shotgun in GTA 5 and GTA Online, free to obtain rather than bought for a listed price. Its datamined figures are 40 damage, a fire rate of about 60 rounds per minute, a range figure of 40 and an 8 round magazine, the second highest damage of any shotgun here. Its slow 60 rounds per minute fire rate matches the base Pump Shotgun, reflecting a similarly deliberate reload between shots, but the shortened barrel behind its name and its higher damage give it a harder hitting punch up close. Being free removes the usual cost barrier that keeps other hard hitting shotguns like the Combat Shotgun out of reach early on, which makes it a strong close range option for a new character. There is no Mk II version. Its combination of being free and hitting harder than most other shotguns in this data makes it an easy early recommendation for close quarters fights.

Damage per shot holds at 320 out to 10m, then falls to 96 at 40m and stays there. Dropoff from the game files. Per shot means all 8 pellets connecting. The strip is derived: shots to kill against 100 health at that distance.

Shots to kill: target health divided by damage per shot (40 damage times 8 pellets), rounded up. Time to kill: shots minus one, times 60 divided by 60 rounds per minute - the first shot lands at time zero. Full armor is treated as one flat 200 pool. Figures assume every pellet connects. Figures are point blank, before damage dropoff. This weapon's PvP headshot modifier in the game files is 1.0, so headshots change nothing.
Bars scale each stat against the highest value among this game's weapons. Spread is tighter when lower. Numbers carry their source and game version. Hover or tap a date for details.
