Machine Gun
First seen in GTA (1997)Latest GTA: London 1961 (1999)3 games
The only automatic weapon in the 1997 game and both London expansions, and the earliest firearm this database holds. What kind of firearm is not established: the research base calls it "an unknown assault rifle-like firearm", and a resemblance is not a classification.
Type not established
Unclassified
Weapons this database holds but has not classified. The 2D-era titles publish no weapon taxonomy and name several of their guns generically, and no source establishes what kind of firearm they are. Filing them here says so, rather than guessing from what they resemble or from what a later game called its equivalent.

- The game names it only as a machine gun, and nothing published establishes which firearm it is meant to be. That is why this database files it as unclassified rather than by what it resembles.

Provenance
Verified against research. Weapon rosters are established per game and reconciled across the franchise; where a weapon’s presence in a title is not established, it is held back rather than listed.
