About this converter
GTA Online rifles sit in a tight band, so small numbers decide fights. The Heavy Rifle leads at 38 damage with top range. The Military Rifle follows at 36. The Service Carbine sits at 35. Mk II conversions cluster at 33 to 34: Carbine Mk II and Special Carbine Mk II at 34, Tactical SMG and Assault Rifle Mk II at 33. Base rifles cluster at 30 to 32: Carbine, Special Carbine, Bullpup Mk II and Compact at 32, Assault Rifle, Advanced Rifle and Bullpup at 30. The base Pistol at 26 closes the table as a sidearm baseline. Bars are Rockstar relative stats from Ammu-Nation, backed by weapons.meta file parses on GTAForums and GtaHash.
How to use it
Pick two weapons and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first weapon, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds the damage in points. Try 1 Heavy Rifle against Pistols to compare top rifle against sidearm.
Damage here is the Ammu-Nation bar figure for clean comparison. Game file raw damage differs on some Mk II guns, and the note gives the file value where it matters. Mk II ammo types change time to kill a lot and stay out of this base table.
