GTA 6 guns in real life

38 of the 51 GTA 6 weapons found so far are matched to a real-life firearm or object. Rockstar never names the real model. The matches are GTABase's, read from the guns' shapes in trailers, screenshots and leaks, and each one is checked against IMFDB, the firearms database for film and games: it agrees on 16 and reads 5 differently.

Checked against Rockstar's material and GTABase on October 25, 2026 by Lorenzo Bruno. GTA 6 is out November 19, 2026.

How to read a match

A solid tag means the GTA 6 weapon is in Rockstar's own footage; a dashed red one, that it is only in a leak. "Narrows it to" means IMFDB picks one model or the exact variant where GTABase gives two. IMFDB checked on October 25, 2026. The real gun photos come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, credited on each weapon's page.
