This makes it quite deadly during GTA Online missions. While it normally holds 30 rounds, you can purchase and equip the Drum Roll magazine to carry 100 rounds. This will make your life much easier as you won't need to reload the weapon frequently and continue firing and depressing the enemies. Note that the Special Carbine costs $14,750 in-game.
2) AP Pistol
AP Pistol is another one of the best guns in GTA Online that you can purchase. However, you must reach rank 33 to buy it or wait till it appears in the Gun Van's stock during one of the GTA Online weekly update rotations. The AP Pistol is a deadly handgun with incredible first-shot accuracy. You can use it while driving a vehicle, and it has much better damage and performance than the micro SMG.
On top of that, you can use an extended magazine to increase its capacity, making it deadly during drive-bys. The gun also only costs $5,000 which is dirt cheap in the game.
3) Assault Shotgun
The Assault Shotgun is one of the deadliest weapons in the online multiplayer mode simply because it is a fully automatic shotgun and can use an extended drum magazine. Combined with its damage output and range, it is one of the best guns in GTA Online that you can purchase.
However, you must wait and reach level 37 to unlock this deadly weapon in the game. Once unlocked, you will need to spend $10,000 to purchase it from Ammu-Nation or the Gun Van if it is in stock. The Assault Shotgun is perfect for clearing out grouped enemies in tight spaces like when raiding the Stash Houses.
4) Railgun
Railgun has always been a deadly weapon in-game and that fact hasn't changed even after the recent Cluckin Bell Farm Raid update. This gun can down even the deadliest helicopters and jets in GTA Online since it shoots laser-like shots that pack a lot of damage.
However, it is ridiculously expensive and can only be bought from the Gun Van. If it is in stock, it usually costs around $730,000 but can sometimes be on sale during GTA Online weekly discounts. This is the perfect time to purchase this weapon. It is also worth noting that some of the armored vehicles in the game can take more than one shot to blow up after getting hit by the Railgun. So, it is best to be ready for the worst.
5) Heavy Sniper MKII
The Heavy Sniper MKII is undoubtedly one of the best guns in GTA Online that you can obtain. However, to get the MKII variant, you will first need to purchase the base version of the Heavy Sniper for $38,150 and then convert it after spending around $165,375.
However, once this is done, you can access amazing customization and modification options like Explosive Rounds that make Heavy Sniper MKII so deadly in the online multiplayer mode. The gun's accuracy as well as its insane damage make it one of the most favored weapons in the game. It will come in handy when completing the various Cluckin Bell Farm Raid missions as well.
In the meantime, you can also check out the various sales and value-for-money items available in the game thanks to the ongoing GTA Online weekly discounts.
