Well, in Vice City there's a kruger rifle. Before playing VC, I don't even know that kruger exists I never heard about this weapon...... Maybe it was a famous weapon in 80s?

I don't really know why they left out the AK and put this one instead. While in VCS (set two years before) They used the AK and it had the same gun sound.

Yeah that's really weird. AK was already famous in US since the Vietnam War if I'm not mistaken.

[Flesh-n-Bone]

Honestly, I like it a lot more than the AK.

But also it is alot more accurate and slower than AK.
Does anybody have the real life photo of kruger?

[Mainland Marauder]

It's actually Ruger. Some weapons do not have their real-life names due to trademark issues.

[Flesh-n-Bone]

Here is it I think.

I did a quick search in Wikipedia and I found that Ruger was a name of firearm manufacturing company. What type of Ruger that exist in VC?

EDIT: Mmmm... nevermind.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't an AK in the beta. I think it was a wood-en Ruger. You know. Like in the photo.
Also, the Kruger was only called so in the PC version.

There was an AK in the beta. It's been left there from GTA III though.

Lol, R* changed the weapon names in VC a bit. I dunno why, but SPAS-12 is SPAZ-12, and Ruger is Kruger. It's kinda stupid IMO.

This weapon kinda reminds me with Gewehr '43 from WWII

The Kruger is much more powerful.

The "kruger" it's a copy of the Ruger Mini 14/F30GB semi-automatic rifle. Here's all you need about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-14#AC-556
CUROSITY: it was the machinegun of the A-Team (remember, if not I PITY THE FOOL). XD

[Zee]

Its cool to imagine tommy V wasting fools in "Guardian Angels" with that gun.

[MyDog]

I always liked the AK more.

You need to get a warning like I did for accidentally bumping an old thread.
