A verified-first index of officially named guns, readable in-world markings and weapon classes visible in Rockstar media.
The important distinction
GTA 6 weapon lists often collapse three different claims into one: a gun appears on screen, a real-world firearm looks similar, and Rockstar has named the in-game model. Those are not equivalent. A recognizable silhouette confirms that a type of weapon exists in promotional media; it does not confirm the retail name, statistics or final player inventory.
This guide keeps those layers separate. Rockstar captions sit at the top. Readable fictional markings come next. Generic visual identifications remain useful for search and comparison, but they are written as patterns or weapon classes rather than false product names.
The result is smaller than a rumor-fed database and far more useful: readers can see exactly what the evidence supports today and what still requires launch-day testing.
Rockstar publishes the weapon name in page copy or an image title.
A fictional model or manufacturer marking can be read in first-party media.
The class or real-world pattern is recognizable, but the GTA VI name is unknown.
The three weapon-related labels published in current edition and media material
Published weapon nameRockstar names the pair in the Ultimate Edition list and gives the revolvers their own two-image set. That makes Morgan the strongest weapon identification currently available: the wording comes from Rockstar, not a real-world comparison or fan transcription.
Limit: The images establish the customized pair, but not damage, caliber, unlock timing or standard-edition availability.
Published benefit nameThis is an official Ultimate Edition benefit. The close-up also provides the clearest evidence for the Klose K17 and Girardi ES9 markings associated with Lucia and Jason.
Limit: Rockstar has not said whether the benefit is cosmetic only, which parts can be changed, or whether comparable personalization exists in the base game.
Pre-order cosmeticThe Vintage Vice City Pack includes an exclusive weapon pattern. Rockstar's image shows the finish on a compact, MAC-10-pattern weapon, giving us a real in-game asset instead of a generated reference image.
Limit: The wording confirms a pattern, not a separate firearm, stat bonus, crafting recipe or full weapon-paint editor.
19 evidence records — names and unknowns kept separate
01 / Handguns
A matched pair of ornate revolvers presented in Rockstar's Ultimate Edition material. This is the clearest weapon confirmation because the benefit and its official image set use the same published name.
Evidence
Rockstar lists Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers in the Ultimate Edition and captions two official screenshots with that title.
Still unknown
Rockstar has not published their damage, caliber, unlock chapter, base-game availability or whether the two variants perform differently.
02 / Handguns
A compact polymer-framed pistol associated with Lucia in first-party promotional imagery. Klose K17 is a transcription of the model marking visible on the weapon, not a separate item name in Rockstar's edition list.
Evidence
The personalized-weapon-variants image provides a close, readable view of the pistol and its in-world marking.
Still unknown
Its caliber, magazine capacity, firing modes, standard finish and protagonist restrictions are not published.
03 / Handguns
A full-size semi-automatic pistol shown with Jason. The Girardi ES9 label comes from readable in-world branding in Rockstar media rather than a standalone product description.
Evidence
The official personalized-variants material shows the pistol close enough for its model marking to be transcribed.
Still unknown
Rockstar has not confirmed its statistics, ammunition type, default owner or how the personalized finish is applied.
04 / Handguns
A large revolver visible in official promotional material. The on-weapon Mustang .357 marking is useful identification evidence, but Rockstar has not published a dedicated description for it.
Evidence
The name can be read on the firearm in Rockstar-controlled imagery released ahead of pre-orders.
Still unknown
Its relationship to the Morgan revolvers, ammunition behavior, price and acquisition route remain unconfirmed.
05 / Handguns
A small handgun repeatedly associated with Lucia in official artwork. The Nipper .38 wording is visible on the fictional weapon itself; it is not yet supported by a Rockstar statistics page.
Evidence
Rockstar artwork and close promotional views show the same compact profile and readable marking.
Still unknown
Concealment bonuses, damage, capacity, availability and whether it is Lucia's permanent sidearm are unknown.
06 / Handguns
A single-stack-style pistol visible with Raul Bautista and in robbery imagery. Capo is the readable branding; the complete in-game model name has not been published.
Evidence
The same broad pistol form appears across official character and trailer material, with Capo branding visible in the clearest frame.
Still unknown
Its full name, manufacturer, statistics and whether the repeated appearances depict one model are not confirmed.
07 / Rifles
A modular carbine carrying a readable Duke manufacturer mark. 'Carbine' is a descriptive class label used here because Rockstar has not published the complete GTA VI model name.
Evidence
Close first-party imagery shows Duke branding and multiple configurations of the same broad carbine pattern.
Still unknown
The model name, attachment catalog, firing behavior, damage and whether every pictured configuration is one weapon remain unknown.
08 / Submachine Guns
A full-size submachine-gun silhouette used during the Trailer 2 robbery sequence. The MP5 comparison describes the visible pattern only and is not an official GTA VI name.
Evidence
Jason and Lucia are shown carrying visually similar compact long guns during the bank-robbery footage.
Still unknown
Manufacturer, model name, attachments, caliber and whether both characters use the exact same variant are unconfirmed.
09 / Submachine Guns
A compact, boxy submachine-gun form shown with the Vintage Vice City weapon pattern. The real-world comparison is a visual shorthand, not Rockstar nomenclature.
Evidence
Rockstar's pre-order media shows the compact weapon in a dedicated weapon-pattern image.
Still unknown
Its in-game name, stock options, firing rate, one-handed use and standard appearance are not published.
10 / Submachine Guns
Several compact SMG silhouettes appear on the wall inside Phil's Ammu-Nation. Their broad Uzi-style layout is visible, but individual models cannot be reliably separated from the published footage.
Evidence
The gun-store segment in Trailer 2 contains a rack of compact automatic weapons in multiple configurations.
Still unknown
The number of distinct base weapons, their names and whether the differences are attachments or separate models remain unknown.
11 / Rifles
A longer rifle carrying Duke branding appears in rural Leonida imagery. The visible configuration suggests a hunting or precision role, but Rockstar has not supplied a model name.
Evidence
A clear official screenshot shows the Duke mark on a long gun carried in the Mount Kalaga material.
Still unknown
Action type, ammunition, scope compatibility, hunting mechanics and whether it shares a receiver with the carbine are unconfirmed.
12 / Rifles
A traditional bolt-action rifle silhouette carried by hunters in official rural imagery. This guide uses a functional class label because no in-world model text is readable.
Evidence
Rockstar's Mount Kalaga screenshots show hunters carrying long, scoped rifle forms.
Still unknown
The model, manufacturer, caliber, damage and role in the confirmed hunting activity are not described.
13 / Rifles
A second rural long-gun profile resembles a magazine-fed semi-automatic marksman rifle. The label intentionally describes the silhouette rather than inventing a GTA VI model name.
Evidence
The firearm appears with rural hunters in Rockstar's official region imagery.
Still unknown
Its action, magazine size, performance, customization and relationship to other Duke-marked rifles are unknown.
14 / Rifles
Multiple AK-pattern long guns are visible on the wall of Phil's Ammu-Nation. The rack supports the presence of this broad platform, not a final count of separate weapons.
Evidence
Trailer 2 briefly shows the shop wall with several related rifle silhouettes and configurations.
Still unknown
Rockstar has not published their names, whether the rack shows variants or distinct models, or which are obtainable by the player.
15 / Shotguns
A full-length double-barrel shotgun is visible in official swamp imagery. The action type is visually clear enough for a generic label, but no fictional manufacturer or model has been published.
Evidence
A Rockstar screenshot shows a hunter aiming the firearm near an alligator in the Grassrivers.
Still unknown
Barrel modifications, ammunition, reload behavior, ownership and hunting use are not documented.
16 / Shotguns
Several pump-action shotgun silhouettes appear in the gun-store rack. They may represent separate models, attachment states or display-only props.
Evidence
The Phil's Ammu-Nation footage shows multiple tubular-magazine shotgun forms on the rear wall.
Still unknown
The exact count, names, barrel options, stocks, acquisition rules and player usability remain unconfirmed.
17 / Shotguns
At least one gun-store silhouette has the receiver and furniture proportions of a modern semi-automatic tactical shotgun. The comparison remains visual only.
Evidence
The weapon is visible among the shotgun rack forms during the official Trailer 2 shop segment.
Still unknown
Its GTA VI name, operating system, capacity and whether it is a separate usable weapon are not published.
18 / Heavy Weapons
Phil's Ammu-Nation presenter handles a large box-fed machine-gun silhouette in Trailer 2. Its broad class is observable; the common M249 comparison is not an official name.
Evidence
The weapon is held on camera during the gun-store television segment in Rockstar's second trailer.
Still unknown
Player access, model name, ammunition capacity, mounting behavior and statistics are unconfirmed.
19 / Heavy Weapons
Lucia is shown firing a shoulder-held grenade launcher in official action footage. The generic class is clear, but Rockstar has not published a fictional model name.
Evidence
The launcher is used on screen against police vehicles in Rockstar promotional footage.
Still unknown
Ammunition types, capacity, availability, lock-on behavior and final weapon name are not known.
Official cosmetics exist; the scope of the base-game gunsmith system does not
GTA VI has at least two officially marketed forms of weapon personalization: protagonist-linked variants in the Ultimate Edition and a Vintage Vice City pattern in the pre-order pack. The images visibly show decorated finishes and distinct configurations. That is enough to confirm cosmetic variation; it is not enough to promise a Red Dead Redemption 2-style component editor, stat tuning or universal access to every finish.
Compare GTA VI editionsTwo Rockstar-captioned locations are relevant, but their complete inventories are not published
Rockstar gives Goodtime Gear its own Ultimate Edition image and benefit label. The material establishes the location or store identity; it does not yet provide a public item catalog, prices or access rules.
The official screenshot library captions this as an illegal-goods store. It may matter to the wider equipment economy, but the image alone cannot confirm which weapons, contraband or upgrades players can purchase there.
The six weapon-system claims most likely to be repeated as facts
Rockstar has not published a complete launch list or a total weapon count.
Damage, range, recoil, fire rate, capacity and prices remain unpublished.
Visible slings and physical weapons do not prove a fixed two-long-gun inventory.
No official source confirms cleaning, wear, jamming or condition mechanics.
Optics and altered configurations are visible, but no compatibility chart exists.
Edition material names garages and shops, but the universal trunk-inventory theory is unconfirmed.
GTA VI promotional media shows a broad weapon mix across handguns, SMGs, rifles, shotguns and heavier equipment. Morgan revolvers and weapon personalization are explicit edition features. Several fictional markings can be read in the imagery. Rockstar has also shown gun-store racks, rural hunting weapons and protagonist-specific decorated sidearms.
A screenshot cannot reveal recoil, progression, pricing, ammunition scarcity, carry capacity or whether a background prop is obtainable. Those questions belong in tested post-release guides. Until then, this page documents the evidence without converting visual detail into imaginary mechanics.
Direct answers to the questions search results often blur together
Rockstar has not announced a final total. This guide currently catalogues 19 distinct firearm entries or visual classes found in first-party trailers and screenshots. That editorial count includes close variants and gun-store rack silhouettes, so it should not be read as the final number of player-usable weapons.
Hawk & Little Morgan Revolvers is the clearest published name: Rockstar uses it in the Ultimate Edition list and as the caption for two official images. Klose K17, Girardi ES9, Mustang .357, Nipper .38, Capo and Duke are readable markings in first-party imagery, but Rockstar does not list each as a separate edition item.
Customization is supported at a minimum by Rockstar's named Personalized Weapon Variants benefit and the Vintage Vice City Weapon Pattern. Official images also show different finishes and configurations. The full base-game system, compatible parts, prices and performance effects have not been explained.
That remains unconfirmed. Promotional imagery shows weapons carried as physical objects, but Rockstar has not announced a slot count, removed the weapon wheel, or explained whether vehicles and safehouses act as permanent armories.
No. Labels such as MP5-pattern, MAC-10-pattern and AK-pattern only describe a visible silhouette. GTA uses fictional manufacturers and model names, so a real-world resemblance should never be presented as official game nomenclature.
Yes. The featured Morgan, personalized-variant, Vintage Vice City, Goodtime Gear and PTT Youngin$ images are official Rockstar GTA VI media stored locally for reliable delivery. The evidence index does not use real-world firearm photos as if they were game assets.
The index is updated when Rockstar publishes a caption, readable image, product description or gameplay explanation. A community label can help identify what to inspect, but repetition does not turn it into an official name. After launch, performance claims will require direct testing and version notes.
