A great weapon against crowds of enemies, but can prove dangerous to the user if their throwing abilities are not great. Pull the safety pin and throw it as quick as you can!

Remote Grenade

Available from: Phil's Place (Little Haiti) ($1,000)

Slot 7: Assault Rifles

Kruger

Based on: Ruger Mini-14F
Available from: Ammu-Nation (Ocean Beach) ($1,000)

With weaker statistics than its counterpart, the M4, the Ruger is not that great of a rifle. Of course, if you have nothing else to use, it can still provide good firepower, but there are better options.

M4

Based on: Colt Model 733
Available from: Ammu-Nation (Downtown) ($5,000)

The Colt M4 is a military assault rifle with greater statistics than the weaker Ruger. It's great against weaker enemies, but lacks the explosive power of the Heavy Weapons.

Slot 9: Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifle

Based on: Remington Model 700

.308 Sniper (PSG-1)

Based on: Heckler & Koch SR9T
Available from: Ammu-Nation (Downtown) ($6,000)

A stronger version of the classic Sniper Rifle, the PSG-1 has better range and better accuracy - much more expensive, but generally a better choice for sniping.
