Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas/Weapons

All weapons aim better when CJ is crouched so most of your time fighting will be in the crouch position. This also allows CJ to do combat rolls in and out of cover, allowing time to reload.

By far the best weapons in the game are the Chainsaw, the SMG and the AK-47. All other weapons are likely to only be used in passing and when available. The chainsaw is devastating because it "locks" characters in place and does so much damage that apart from special characters it is a one hit kill. It also requires no ammo.

The SMG is versatile as it can be used in drive-bys while when crouched it's range and accuracy is comparable to the assault rifles.

The AK-47 and the M4 are very similar apart from their ammo clip sizes but the AK-47 is more readily available and therefore you are more likely to make Hitman with it.

These are the only three weapons you need to carry out most of the missions and the Turf Wars.
