When we dive into the world of bloodshed in GTA Online, we have different needs for various situations. We need fast cars to get us out of police madness, and we need the best armor to protect us from gunfire.
When it gets down to the nitty-gritty, players often look to their guns, or when it comes nittier and grittier, relying on their assault rifles. Let's look at the Top 5 Best Assault Rifles in GTA Online today.
5. Compact Rifle (Best for mid-range kills that pack a punch!)
Making its debut as part of the Lowriders: Custom Classics Update, the Compact Rifle is a known fan-keeper. Shrewsbury was inspired by the Micro Drako AK Pistol when fabricating the piece.
Proudly made in the USA; this fully automatic, compact AR shares the same receiver design as the classic AR and the heavy shotgun. Interesting fact, the Compact Rifle was the first in the series to allow use on motorcycles, boats, and bicycles?

4.Special Carbine MK II (best for use of specialized ammo, 20 rounds of it, too!)
A divine upgrade from the original, the Special Carbine MK II represents customized sub carbines at their finest. Austrian manufacturer, Vom Feuer, was captivated by the Beta C-Mag with a drum magazine uncanny to that of this weapon.

Why is the Special Carbine MK II great:?
Versatile, the Special Carbine MK II can be used by passengers in vehicles such as helicopters, boats, truck beds, and vans. The accuracy is amongst the greatest, tied with the Carbine Rifle MK II. Therefore, those who are hanging on for dear life on the side of a helicopter, can count on the accuracy to get the job done.
How to get It:
A special weapon for sure isn’t going to be the easiest to get, you can only get this weapon by upgrading your Special Carbine to the MKII variant at the Weapon Workshop; located inside the Avenger, or MOC, for $135,000. So, you’re going to need to get the Avenger first, and to do that, you need to cough up $3.5 million to Warstock Cache & Carry.
3.Bullpup MK II (Best For wiping out rounds of enemies!)
An upgraded version of the original, the Bullpup MK II is produced in America, yet the original Bullpup Rifle is imported from China. This could be like other weapons in real life, where they manufacture it under the original manufacturer's license. Hawk and Little was inspired by various different Chinese assault rifles when crafting this custom AR.

5.56mm Cal

The well-loved Bullpup, specifically its MK II variation, packs the second highest damage per second of all the assault rifles in-game. Take that and it’s high rate of fire, you’ve got yourself a bloodbath.
How to get It:
Again, this is an MK II variant, meaning you must take the original version of the weapon, and convert it in the Weapon Workshop in your Avenger. This time costing you $105,750.
2. Advanced Rifle (Best for use in free aim!)
Known for being “great-overall”, Austrian manufacturer Vom Feuer loosely based this versatile carbine on the Kel-Tec RFB along with the CTAR-21 carbine.

How to get It:
This piece does take some work to get reaching rank 70. After that just stop into Ammu-Nation and pick it up for just $14,250.
1.Carbine Rifle MK II (Best for when you’re in big trouble!)
Yet another masterpiece from Austrian manufacturer Vom Feuer, this custom carbine is also a special upgrade. Debuting as part of the Gunrunning Update, this powerful weapon was inspired by the SIG MPX-C, along with other modern AR-15s.
Stats:
30 rounds, 60 extended, 20 special
5.56mm Cal
Damage: 36
Fire Rate: 65
Accuracy: 55

Overall: 48.20
Why is the Carbine Rifle MK II great?
The Carbine Rifle MK II variant is capable to equip specialized ammo, 20 rounds of that and it’s accuracy, will surely cause some trouble. But as far as regular ammo goes, if you apply the heavy barrel, long range damage will fall to 50% point blank damage, making rit a better weapon at a distance; still packing that awesome damage per shot.
How to get It:
You can only get this specialized piece from the Weapon Workshop in your Avenger. Convert the original Carbine Rifle for $107,500.
Whether you’re a fan of explosive ammo, or rely on a high rate of fire to get you a handful of kills, it is observed that players turn to their assault rifles in the toughest of situations. It makes sense; high damage, on-point accuracy and awesome range makes them stand out from the others. No one pulls out their musket at a cock fight.
