All Weapons in GTA 3: Full List

There are a total of 13 weapons included in GTA III, and Claude can hold all of them at the same time.

Clicking on a weapon below brings you to their detailed information, such as Type / Class, Weapon Statistics, Prices, Spawn Locations, how to obtain each weapon, and more.

Fist

If you can't find anything to hit your enemies with, the only option remaining is to smack them with your bare fists. Not very effective, but you'll have to make do!

Baseball Bat

Much better than using your bare hands, the baseball bat is great for smacking people and can be found at every safehouse.

Pistol

Based on: Colt M1911A1
Available from: Ammu-Nation ($250)

This is the simplest handgun in the game - great for shooting people, but much weaker than other firearms. Very easy to obtain by killing police officers or gang members.

Uzi

Based on: Micro Uzi
Available from: Ammu-Nation ($800)

Lightweight and damaging, the Uzi is one of the best weapons in the game. It can be used while running, and drive-by's can also be performed with it.

Shotgun

Based on: Remington 870
Available from: Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus ($1,500)

A powerful gun that shoots five shells per shot. Must be pumped after each use.

AK-47

Based on: Adler-Jäger AP-80
Available from: Ammu-Nation ($3,000)

A very powerful weapon, with equally strong recoil. A headshot beheads every enemy, and it also has a pretty big magazine!

M16

Based on: ArmaLite AR-10
Available from: Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus ($5,000)

An extremely potent weapon, comparable with Miniguns from other GTA games of the 3D era. A 60 round magazine, combined with high damage and an incredible rate of fire turn this weapon into a machine of destruction!

Sniper Rifle

Based on: Remington Model 700
Available from: Ammu-Nation ($10,000)

Great for taking out targets far away. It can zoom, and will kill any enemy it hits.

Flamethrower

Based on: US Army M2 Flamethrower
Available from: Pike Creek LCPD Compound ($25,000)

A brutal weapon - great at barbecues, but also perfect for setting all your enemies on fire! Powerful and destructive, just how a Heavy weapon should be.

Rocket Launcher

Based on: M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon
Available from: Phil Cassidy's Army Surplus ($25,000)

The most notable weapon of the Grand Theft Auto Series, the Rocket Launcher (or RPG - Rocket Propelled Grenade). Can be used to blow up large groups of enemies or vehicles, taking almost everything down with one single shot. Expensive and rare, but incredibly powerful!

Molotov Cocktail

Available from: Pike Creek LCPD Compound ($2,000)

Great for clearing large areas of people or vehicles. Throw it down and watch the world burn - fun!

Grenade

Based on: M67 Grenade
Available from: Ammu-Nation ($2,000)

Make sure you don't throw these too close to yourself, you don't want to lose a limb! Great for destroying vehicles or clearing out large waves of enemies.

Car Bomb / Detonator

An explosive device that can be placed in a vehicle and detonated. Set it, and run the heck away!

• Ignition Carbomb: Available from 8-Ball's Bomb Shop, Portland.
