How to unlock the Swiss Army Strife achievement in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

The other guide is fine (and correct) but I found it easier to do the following if going for the 100%, and not specifically/just this achievement

- Complete the weapon challenges at Ammunation as these will add a one-time boost of around 200 to each weapon being used (Pistol, Micro SMG, Shotgun, AK47), and a boost for further weapon skill increase efficiency. You also get 10k a challenge which can be used for Ammo.

- Follow the guide above, but do it at the Palmino Creek safehouse as Ammunation is 1 road over for ammo (which is one of the closest to a safehouse) and for some reason the cops dont care about shooting your own car in your garage - If you stay at the top of the driveway near the garage.. I found even on Grove St, cops would spawn nearby and walk within a couple of ft when shooting.

- Shoot the car until you see flames, let the door close and then re-open and repeat. Do not let the car explode. If you let the car explode it will generate a wanted level meaning a longer process (as you need to go into the safehouse to reset). If you count the shots, it will be the same to get to "fire" each time. For example I think the shotgun was 6 shots.

You can no longer do the "shoot the hubcap" glitch from the old games which do no damage to the vehicle, as it no longer increases the skill.

As per the other guide, the weapons are: (Bold items are ones with boosts available)
Pistol (Normal), Pistol (Silenced), Desert Eagle
Shotgun, Combat Shotgun, Sawn-Off Shotgun
Tec-9, Micro-SMG
MP5
M4, AK47

Just to add to this, I just did this at Whitewood Estates (Western most safehouse in LV, also across from an Ammu-nation).

This is useful because you unlock the Combat Shotgun after the third Venturas Casino mission. I bought around 600 rounds for each of the weapons and this pretty much sorted more than enough to do these and have a decent amount left over to continue the game.

Every so often a cop will pass by as you're shooting and you'll gain a star. You can run in and save - to easily lose your wanted level and regain your health, but I liked headshotting any cops and exploding their cars until I needed more health. To mix things up a little.

Being able to walk and shoot is amazing! Definitely worth going for this achievement.

It might also be worth noting that if you do this after the races (assuming you are going for 100%) - then you will have just earned surplus of a pretty $1 million. So buying the guns and ammo is no issue!

"Complete the weapon challenges at Ammunation as these will add a one-time boost of around 200 to each weapon being used"
This means u can't just do them over and over?

@Ricettix - Correct, or at least this was at the time of writing, and true of the old game.

Palomino Creek tip worked perfectly. Only thing I'd add to this guide is detailing when certain guns are unlocked for purchase at Ammu-Nation, as they all aren't available from the start. For example, the Desert Eagle isn't unlocked for purchase until after you complete the mission You've Had Your Chips, which is fairly late into the game.

A simple way to upgrade is to drive any car into the garage and start shooting at it. As soon as it catches fire, close the garage and open it again. I upgraded all the weapons in an hour using this method. Don't let the car explode, otherwise you will be constantly distracted by the cops.

My method is this:
We buy weapons. We find a place near the save, preferably in the open air, and simply open fire on passers-by and cars.
When you get a wanted level of 2 or more stars, run and save. Saving completely cancels the wanted level.
To upgrade Pistols - buy ~350+ ammo
To upgrade the PP - buy ~1500+ rounds
To upgrade the Machine Guns - buy ~2500+ cartridges
To upgrade Shotguns - buy ~250+ rounds
You don't need to download the rest

You only need to upgrade this weapon.

I didn't mess around with cars, passersby, etc., just look at the statistics during the game to see which weapons have already been upgraded and which haven't, and use what needs to be upgraded. There are a lot of shooting missions in the game, and the upgrade happens automatically.
