The Shrewsbury Compact Rifle is an assault rifle added in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Lowriders: Custom Classics update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
As the name suggests, the Compact Rifle is a compact version of the Assault Rifle. It is a custom AK carbine, having the receiver of a Type 56, but with a very short barrel, somewhere between the length of the Mini Draco and the Micro Draco AK Pistol, as well as lacking a stock. It is modeled with a Midwest Industries railed AK scope mount, as well as a flash hider.
In Grand Theft Auto Online, as part of the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update, there is a unique Drum Magazine option that reuses the same model as the one from the Assault Rifle, resembling 75-round AK magazines (although 100-round drum mags exist as well, which are more cylindrical).
Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Compact Rifle is a small but strong rifle, dealing more damage than the original Assault Rifle in exchange for more recoil. It shares a similar fire rate like the Assault Rifle and has the same range as it as well. It also has a higher damage profile than the Carbine Rifle, Special Carbine and Bullpup Rifle, and is tied with the Advanced Rifle in terms of damage. The Compact Rifle is also the first assault rifle in the series to have the ability to be used on a motorcycle, bicycle or boat.
Overall, the Compact Rifle is a good weapon to use in medium range combat but is not a wise choice when dealing in short and long range combat due to its huge recoil and low fire rate. In addition, despite the railed mount, it cannot be equipped with a scope.
The weapon by default has a 30-round magazine, which can be replaced with a 60-round magazine. As of the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update, it can be further upgraded with a 100-round drum magazine, which offers as much suppression fire as an MG with "Extended Clip" or a Combat MG with "Default Clip", at the cost of a slightly increased reload time.
