This weapon wheel applies to GTA 5 players on foot and in vehicles. It also includes a backup of the original grayed-out weapon wheel icons in case players wish to go back to it.

Sometimes, players find a good weapon mod with attachments that only work for specific weapons. This is unfortunate for players that like these attachments to work with every type of weapon, hence the need for this mod.

This mod adds support for various other attachments to all vanilla weapons in GTA 5. It has nearly 40K downloads and an average rating of 4.92/5.

Of course, some weapon mods actually introduce new weapons entirely. In this mod, players will have access to a brand new weapon known as the M4A1, which has some variations and custom animations for the player to enjoy.

It's a great assault rifle to mess around with in GTA 5, and that's indicative of why it has as many downloads as it has. 118K downloads with an average rating of 4.59/5 is quite excellent.

GTA 5 is a realistic game as far as GTA titles go, but it's still lacking in many aspects when it comes to shooting. Fortunately, GTA 5 fans can download mods to fix that. When it comes to good realistic weapon mods, Rippler's Realism is one of the most popular out there.

Explosions are more realistic in terms of collision, recoil feels more real, and some adjustments to weapon damage are included in this mod. It's been downloaded over 100K times, with an average rating of 4.84/5 stars.

#1 - Realistic Gun Sounds

Realistic Gun Sounds is the most downloaded weapon mod in GTA 5 at 480K downloads and has an average rating of 4.74/5. Unsurprisingly, this is reflective of the mod's quality. GTA 5 is a great game, but the audio of a gunfight can be a bit boring at times, hence the need for a mod like this one.

This mod is strictly about sounds related to weapons, and it does not alter anything else about weapons. Despite this, it does a masterful job at changing the audio in a way that significantly enhances the GTA 5 gameplay experience.
