On this page, you find the full list and guide to all weapons in GTA Chinatown Wars, including all Guns, Rifles, Explosives, Melee, and every weapon featured in the game for PSP, Nintendo DS and Mobile devices.
There are a total of 24 weapons available in GTA Chinatown Wars, spread across 7 weapon slots, which hold a particular class of weapons and items. You can only carry one weapon of each type, so if that slot is filled and you pick up a weapon of the same type, you will replace the current one.
The GTA CW weapon guide below also includes info on how to obtain each weapon, the prices, and the real-life model each weapon is based on.
Many weapons can be found in red dumpsters around the Liberty City map, and several of them can be purchased from the in-game Ammunation website or the Liberty City Gun Club. The Fully Cocked License allows you to buy the highest-rated weapon of each category. It becomes available after the mission "The Offshore Offload" and it costs $10,000.
