"The Mini-30 is the only semi-automatic assault rifle in Max Payne 3 and the only non-sniper rifle with a sniper scope available. It's deals a fearsome amount of damage per shot but suffers from large recoil. When wielding the mini-30 it is also important to control your shots carefully depending on the distance to your target."

―Social Club description

The Mini-30 is an assault rifle in Max Payne 3.

Overview

"A deadly piece of kit that's built like a tank and packs the punch of one too. Whether at a distance via scope or at close quarters, the rapid fire and lightweight nature of this rifle makes short - and messy - work of enemies."

―Max Payne 3 website

The rifle can be outfitted with a detachable sniper scope. It has been described as being durable and lightweight. The weapon has a barrel length of 18.5" and weighs about 6.8 lbs. without any additional attachments. The rifle uses 7.62x39mm caliber rounds, and has a range of approximately 100 meters, which allows the rifle to be used as a sniper rifle, especially with a scope attachment.

• The weapon's image on the Rockstar Social Club portrays it with a regular integral stock, whereas in-game it has a folding stock.
