SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A-INSPIRED RIFLE

This rifle's design draws from the Springfield Armory M1A, a real civilian semi-automatic rifle built on the same basic pattern as the U.S. military's M14 battle rifle, a lineage going back to the late 1950s. Chambered in .308-class ammunition in real life and known for a wood-and-steel battle-rifle look rather than a modern tactical aesthetic, the M1A's inclusion suggests GTA 6 is mixing older, classic firearm designs in with the more modern platforms — like the MP9- and MAC-11-inspired SMGs — also confirmed for the game.
