The briefing
The class guide organizes the revealed arsenal into handguns and the other weapon families available in the reference catalog. Individual records supply imagery, design comparisons and manufacturer details where known. The full local collection contains forty-seven weapon identifications, with gear and ammunition listed separately.
The source explicitly reserves statistical ranking for the released game. A familiar pistol name or an earlier-game image cannot establish GTA VI’s damage, price or handling. Use the collection to compare identities and source evidence, rather than reading this list as a tested best-weapon ranking.
