The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
This weapon was originally going to be a Glock 17, but for some reason Rockstar forgot to render it as such. However, the Glock 17 can be seen in numerous cut scenes. Instead they left in the old M1911A1 render from Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City. Called the "9mm" it is used by all members of the San Andreas Law Enforcement community and by many criminals ingame. Unrealistically, this weapon carries 17 rounds in a magazine (like the Glock it was supposed to be), and isn't very powerful. When the player reaches the "Hitman" skill level, he can wield two of these pistols at once. A suppressed version is also available for use in the game. It does more damage but uses a different ammunition type than the regular "9mm" and cannot be dual-wielded.
Ingame AmmuNation gun stores sell the standard M1911A1 and/or 30 rounds for $200, while the suppressed M1911A1 retails at a much pricier $600 for either the suppressed handgun and/or 30 rounds, possibly making this game title the first where a handgun's suppressor is worth more than the handgun itself.
The AmmuNation vendor presents a "9mm."
The AmmuNation vendor presents a "Silenced 9mm."
IMI/Magnum Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle is more powerful than the pistol and silenced pistol. Catalina uses one in some levels involving her, and one of the Villains, Officer Eddie Pulaski (Chris Penn), carries one during the "High Noon" level. CJ is seen holding one after Officer Frank Tenpenny (Samuel L. Jackson) is killed. Cesar Vialpando uses one in one level during the Los Santos riots. Sweet uses one during the riots, and the Grove Street gang members obtain these complete with a knife instead of the regular pistol if the player finds the 100 hidden tags.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
The Ithaca 37 is the basic shotgun carried by some cops, gang members and enemies in the game. Has a slow rate of fire, but is quite effective at CQC. CJ and Catalina use two of these weapons during the bank robbery level. The weapon incorrectly ejects a spent shell as it fires rather than after it's pumped.
Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun
Called the "Sawn Off Shotgun" in the game, it is powerful, especially when CJ can begin to carry two of these weapons. But it's range is limited.
Franchi SPAS-12
The Franchi SPAS-12 is called the "Combat Shotgun", and is faster and more effective than the other shotguns. Officer Tenpenny holds one during the last mission of the game.
Submachine Guns
Intratec TEC-9
TEC-9s are used by Grove Street gangbangers and assorted criminals in the game. Sweet, Ryder, and Big Smoke are seen using these weapons as well when doing drive-bys.
IMI Micro Uzi
The Micro Uzi appears in the game as the "Micro-SMG", and is used by some gang members. It is a lot more accurate and powerful than the TEC-9, and can be eventually be dual-wielded like the TEC-9. It is always shown with jungle-style taped magazines. The icon for the weapon shows a MAC-10 with what looks like a left-side charging handle for some unknown reason.
Heckler & Koch HK94A3
Called "SMG" in the game, it is very powerful and accurate for a submachine gun. The converted Heckler & Koch HK94A3 is used by Russians and Mafia thugs alike, random gang members, FBI Agents, and the Grove Street gang members after the player has found the 100 tags. Some LSPD SWAT Officers are seen carrying them as well.
Assault Rifles
Norinco Type 56
The "AK47", actually a Norinco Type 56, as evidenced by its hooded front sights (which differs from that of the AK-47/AKM), is used by some enemies and gang members. A rusty old one is used by CJ during the "Reuniting the Families" level. Also worth noting is the fact that the gun is unrealistically 2/3 long as CJ is tall. Sweet uses it in two of the missions.
Colt Model 733
Called the "M4" in the game, it is actually the Colt Model 733, which is distinguished by its shortened barrel. The name is anachronistic, since the game is set in 1992. Although early prototypes of the M4 existed as far-back as 1986, the weapon did not enter large-scale production until 1994. It is used the San Andreas Army National Guard, as well as some of Big Smoke's thugs when CJ attacks his crack fortress. It is more accurate and just as powerful as the Type 56, despite the actual weapon firing 5.56x45mm rounds, as compared to the Type 56s 7.62x39mm rounds (which are far more powerful) yet the Type 56 shares the same ammo pool with the M733 in-game, and is depicted in-game with a 50-round magazine capacity, though the weapon model shows a 30-round STANAG magazine. Also, the front sight is modeled-on backwards.
Sniper Rifles
Marlin Model 336
Called the "Rifle" in game, the Marlin Model 336 has no scope, but is very accurate and benefits from a certain zooming, provided in-game, similar to the zoom encountered when aiming with the M733 and Type 56, although not as useful as the actual sniper rifle's scope. It is not used often by players as it is very slow-firing compared to other weapons.
Remington 700
The Remington 700 is simply called "Sniper Rifle" in the game. The sniper rifle's improvements over the "Rifle" include a much higher damage and a sniper scope.
Heavy Weapons
Handheld GE M134
The most powerful weapon in the game, this weapon is used 3 times by CJ - First when protecting Zero's (David Cross) store from Berkley's planes, again while attacking the container ship in San Fierro Bay, and then again to take out two National Guard Hunter Helicopters in the "Up, Up, and Away" level. It can also be found in Mike Toreno's (James Woods) ranch house after the mission "Vertical Bird".
RPG-7
The RPG-7 is the basic rocket launcher in the game, and CJ uses one several times in the game, notably in "Are You Going To San Fierro?" to shoot down a police chopper, and in "Toreno's Last Flight".
SA-7 Grail
Called the "Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher" in the game, this weapon can lock onto enemy vehicles (including, strangely, pedal bicycles), making this weapon more effective than the Rocket Launcher at shooting down helicopters. It resembles an SA-7 Grail.
Flamethrower
A hand held flamethrower that scorches anyone in front of it. It has a medium-long range.
Hughes M230 Chain Gun and AGM-114 Hellfire ATGM (AH-64 Apache mounted)
San Andreas, like Vice City, features a version of the Hughes AH-64 Apache, known as the "Hunter." It has an M230 chain gun in a chin mount, and wing mounts containing eight AGM-114 Hellfire missiles in two packs of four, as well as two non-functional Hydra 70 rocket pods. It is used in a few missions during flying school. When all flying school missions are completed with gold medals, the Hunter spawns at Verdant Meadows Airfield and inside Easter Basin Naval Station. You can also use this for vigilante missions, although these missions are called "Brown Thunder" instead (a spoof on the film, Blue Thunder).
Thrown Weapons
M67
The standard hand grenade in the game is the M67. They are available for purchase at the AmmuNation.
M7 CS Gas Grenade
The M7 CS gas grenade appears in the game, where it is called simply "Tear Gas".
Molotov Cocktail
One of the types of thrown weapons in the game. Very effective weapon.
Satchel Charges
Satchel Charges are a remote-detonated explosive. When satchel charges are planted, the player gains a detonator in an additional weapon slot; by firing the detonator, the charges explode. Satchel charges can be detonated from any distance, and with any time delay, assuming they still exist. First used in the "Against All Odds" mission. They are available for purchase at the AmmuNation.
Other
Glock 17
Not an in-game weapon, but the 1st generation Glock 17 is seen in a few cutscenes from the movie "The Introduction" (a movie released shortly after the game, to explain what happened before CJ came back to Los Santos). It is used by Salvatore Leone (Frank Vincent) to threaten Ken Rosenberg (William Fichtner) and Officer Jimmy Hernandez to kill Officer Ralph Pendelbury. In the actual game, it is used by Officer Eddie Pulaski after CJ is taken by C.R.A.S.H. to the countryside, and by Mike Toreno when he first meets CJ.
Of note is that the real Glock 17 uses a 17 round Magazine. The Glock's existence in certain cutscenes may explain why the M1911 skinned '9mm Pistols' in the game have an unrealistic magazine capacity, as the game skins were changed from a Glock to an M1911 during development but the magazine capacity remained the same, as did some of the skins in certain cutscenes. The player can use the Glock if he modifies the game's files.
IMI Uzi
In the final mission, "End of the Line", A statue of Big Smoke can be seen holding a shotgun and the Uzi submachine gun. The Uzi was replaced before it's release along with the early appearance for Big Smoke.
Colt Python
The Colt Python from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has been rescaled and appears as a sign above the AmmuNation shop in Los Santos.
Colt M16A2
During the mission Stowaway, a CIA agent is seen holding a more detailed and camouflaged Colt M16A2 fitted with what appears to be a 20 round magazine, rather than the Model 733 used in gameplay. It is however impossible to obtain, unless the players modifies the game's files.
Guns inside AmmuNation
Guns on the shelves/racks in AmmuNation are: Steyr AUG, Galil 7.62, Norinco Type 64, Galil AR, various revolvers, Calico M110, MAC-10, Spectre M4, Heckler & Koch MP5K, IMI Uzi, Calico M950, Intratec TEC-9, AK-47, FAMAS, Thompson and Heckler & Koch G3A3.
Anytime the player visits an AmmuNation store, their ears will be constantly assaulted by a highly satirical looping pro-gun commercial that, among other things, says the store will accept "a wad of American currency, conflict diamonds, or your daughter" in lieu of a background check. The store also requires only a ten-minute waiting period between the purchase and the actual physical transfer of a firearm from seller to buyer.
