Weapon Stats and Selection
Added by 
Added by
As seen in this picture to the right taken from the 3:14 mark of the gameplay video, the way the player changes weapons is switched. A new feature known as the Weapon Wheel has been implemented. Now, there are 8 slots to choose from (in clockwise order from the top): the Pistol slot, the MG slot (including SMGs), the Assault Rifles slot, the Sniper Rifle slot, the Melee slot, the Shotgun slot, the Heavy Weapons slot, and the Throwable Weapons slot.
In this new screen, stats of the weapon are displayed to the player; these have been confirmed to be customizable through Ammu-Nation. The stats shown in the selection screen include Damage (which would likely be how much damage the bullets do), Fire Rate (how fast the weapon would be able to fire rounds), Accuracy (how on-target or not the weapon is) and Range (how far the round can go and do damage). Furthermore, all weapons can now be carried simultaneously similar to Red Dead Redemption and Max Payne 3, which means players can have more than one weapon in the same slot.
Weapon's noise range
Each time the player fires a gun, the radar will show a red circle to represent the weapon's noise, similar to Manhunt. If any threat is within the red circle, they will be alerted by the player, and if a cop is within the noise range, the player may gain a wanted level. A player can lower the noise by adding a Suppressor to the weapon.

Sawed-Off Shotgun
Added by
The Sawed-Off Shotgun is a pump action shotgun in GTA V. It appears to be loosely based of an Ithaca 37 "Stakeout", and resembles the Pump Shotgun from Grand Theft Auto IV . It also looks simular to the Serbu Super-Shorty. It is given for free to the player in GTA Online if registered in Social Club. It is the only "two-handed" gun that can be shot from a vehicle, as it is able to be usable in one or both hands. With one of the highest damages of guns in the game, the Sawed-Off Shotgun is perfect at point-blank range. However, at any other range, it is close to useless.
