== Beretta 92 ==
+
==Beretta 92F==
The original [[Beretta 92]] is the standard pistol in the game. Holds 17 rounds but in reality it holds 15 and is called the "Pistol". Carried by the VCPD, National Guard Soldiers, and most gangsters.
+
The [[Beretta 92F]] is the standard pistol in the game. It holds 17 rounds, as opposed to the real weapon's usual 15-round capacity (real 17-round Beretta magazines have a deeper base, and weren't available during the game's setting). It is carried by the VCPD, National Guard Soldiers and most gangsters.

== Beretta 92FS Inox==
 
 
 
Vic uses an [[Beretta 92FS Inox]] version to threaten Umberto Robina when they first meet. Vic's Brother Lance also holds an Inox version when he arrives on the building where Vic killed Jerry Martinez and Diego Mendez. It never appears in gameplay.

== Colt Python ==
 
The [[Colt Python]] returns as the "Equalizer" with an 8" barrel and non-functional telescopic sight. Usually kills with one shot. One of the villains, Armando Mendez, notably uses one to shoot the Domestibot controlled by Vic after it destroys the bearer bonds in his safe. Lance uses one without a scope to threaten Bryan Forbes when its revealed that Forbes is a cop.

The [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun|Browning Over and Under Shotgun]] in the game can be found in police cars and incorrectly functions like a pump shotgun. All gun shop owners use this.

The [[Skorpion Vz.61]] has a slow rate of fire and the same damage as the Uzi and the Beretta 92. Kills with 5 shots.

The [[MAC-10]] has a high rate of fire and a suppressor that doesn't actually suppress anything, but is slightly more quiet than the Uzi or the Scorpion.
+
==Beretta 92FS Inox==
 +
The [[Beretta 92FS Inox]] replaces the 92F in full-motion cutscenes. The protagonist Victor Vance uses one to threaten Umberto Robina when they first meet. Vic's brother Lance also holds an Inox version when he arrives on the building in the final mission. The 92FS Inox is never usable in gameplay. This variant is anachronistic, since it was introduced in 1990, while the game takes place in 1984.

One without a scope is carried by Lance in the intro cutscene of the mission "Caught as an Act", and by Phil Cassidy during the cutscene of "Blitzkrieg Strikes Again".
  
The [[IMI Uzi]] is carried by SWAT and some gangsters. Has good rate of fire and decent accuracy.

==Over and Under Shotgun==
 +
The [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] returns from ''Liberty City Stories'', and still function erroneously as a pump-action shotgun. Once again, it can be found in police cars, and is carried as a self-defense weapon by gun shop owners.

[[File:Shotgun big.jpg|thumb|none|250px|In-game model.]]
  
Carried by the FBI and Gang members. A strange amalgamation of [[MP5]] parts; it has the collapsible stock of the MP5A3, the shorter barrel and vertical foregrip of the MP5K, the foregrip is undersized giving the appearance of the smooth forearm with a catch at the end as seen on the SP89, and the muzzle almost appears to be an attempt at an MP5SD suppressor. (It extends past the forearm, but is thicker than a barrel should be.)
+
==Mossberg 500==
 +
A sawed-off [[Mossberg 500]] appears as the "Stubby Shotgun". It has a wider shot spread than the other shotguns, but a shorter range.

==Skorpion Vz. 61==
 +
The [[Sa. Vz. 61 Skorpion|Skorpion Vz. 61]] replaces the TEC-9 from previous games, and retains its 50-round magazine capacity rather than the correct 20-rounder from the real Skorpion.
  
The [[AK-47]] is carried by some gangsters. Good stopping power and accuracy. During the final battle, the main villain of the game, Jerry Martinez, carries one, and another villain, Diego Mendez, also uses one during this battle.

The [[MAC-10]] returns, but this time it has a slower rate of fire and comes with a non-functioning suppressor (and a rather stubby one to boot).

[[File:Mac10 vcs.png|thumb|none|350px|In-game model.]]
  
== XM16E1 ==
+
==Uzi==
Carried by National Guardsmen. Great accuracy and stopping power. In one mission, Lance Vance incorrectly refers to it as an M4. It has an incorrect ammo capacity of 30 rounds, but is modeled with a 20 round magazine. While the M16A2 was developed in the early 80s, the US Army (who occupies Fort Baxter) didn't adopt it until 1988, four years after the game's events, so the use of the XM16E1 is (relatively) accurate.
+
The [[Uzi]] is carried by SWAT and some gangsters. It has a good rate of fire and decent accuracy.

[[Image:M16 vcs.png|thumb|none|400px|XM16E1 model. Note the pronged flash hider, distinguishing it from the M16A1.]]
+
The "SMG" is carried by the FBI and US Army, as well as by some gang members. It is a strange amalgamation of [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] parts: it has the collapsible stock of the MP5A3 but the shorter barrel and vertical foregrip of the MP5K. The foregrip is undersized, giving the appearance of a smooth forearm with a catch at the end as seen on the civilian SP89 variant, and the muzzle almost appears to be an attempt at an MP5SD suppressor (it extends past the forearm, but is thicker than a barrel should be.)

The [[M21]] is the first sniper rifle the player will most likely encounter in the game. Has good damage, but functions incorrectly as a bolt-action rifle.
+
=Assault Rifles=
 +
==AK-47==
 +
The [[AK-47]] appears in the game, with good stopping power and accuracy. It is carried by several gangsters, and is notably used by Jerry Martinez and Diego Mendez.

== SVD Dragunov ==
+
==XM16E1==
 +
The [[XM16E1]] is carried by by National Guardsmen, and comes with great accuracy and stopping power. At some point, Lance Vance refers to it as an M4, which is not only incorrect, but also anachronistic. It holds 30 rounds, despite being modeled with a 20-round magazine. While the M16A2 was developed in the early 80s, the US Army (who occupies Fort Baxter) didn't adopt it until 1988, four years after the game's events, so the use of the XM16E1 is (relatively) accurate.
  
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is the most powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle in the game. Comes with a 7 round magazine while the real Dragunov carries 10, and a laser magnifying scope (Which is more accurate in the long run). Can destroy a car with a whole magazine.

== M249E1 SAW ==
+
[[File:M21 vcs.png|thumb|none|450px|In-game model.]]
  
The [[M249E1 SAW]] is called the "SAW" in the game, it is powerful and holds many rounds. Phil Cassidy is seen using one on a firing range when he first meets Vic. It is only used once in the game in the mission "Farewell to Arms". It is used by Vic to shoot gang members, who are attacking Gonzalez's men, from a helicopter and only found in one place in the game: the movie studio (unless you shoot all 99 red balloons in the game, then it spawns at every safe house).
+
==SVD Dragunov==
  
[[Image:M249E1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M249E1 SAW - 5.56mm]]
+
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is the most powerful sniper rifle in the game. It holds 7 rounds per magazine (like the [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch SR9|SR9(T)]] from ''GTA Vice City'' and ''GTA Liberty City Stories'') rather than the real 10, and has a laser magnifying scope.

==M249E1 SAW==
 +
The [[M249E1 SAW]] appears in the game; it holds 100 rounds and is very powerful, being able to destroy vehicles very quickly. Phil Cassidy is seen using one in a firing range when he is first met by Vic. The player is tasked to use one from a helicopter in the mission in "Farewell to Arms", to shoot gang members attacking Gonzalez's men. During free roam, it can only found in one place, which is the movie studio in Prawn Island (unless the player shoots all 99 red balloons of game, in which case the M249 will spawn at every safehouse owned by Vic).

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. Used in the final two missions when Vic steals it from the army base and then shoots up the Mendez building in the final battle. It can be found in the east entrance of the airport. When you enter it, you can do the mission "Skywolf". You can also use this for vigilante missions. The chaingun cannot be fired.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories is a 2006 sandbox/action adventure game. It is a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and is only available for the PS2 and PSP.


The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories:


Handguns

Beretta 92F

The Beretta 92F is the standard pistol in the game. It holds 17 rounds, as opposed to the real weapon's usual 15-round capacity (real 17-round Beretta magazines have a deeper base, and weren't available during the game's setting). It is carried by the VCPD, National Guard Soldiers and most gangsters.

Beretta 92F (early model) - 9x19mm
In-game model.

Beretta 92FS Inox

The Beretta 92FS Inox replaces the 92F in full-motion cutscenes. The protagonist Victor Vance uses one to threaten Umberto Robina when they first meet. Vic's brother Lance also holds an Inox version when he arrives on the building in the final mission. The 92FS Inox is never usable in gameplay. This variant is anachronistic, since it was introduced in 1990, while the game takes place in 1984.

Beretta 92FS Inox - 9x19mm
Vic points his Beretta 92FS Inox at Umberto.

Colt Python

The Colt Python returns; this time it is referred to as the "Equalizer" and comes with a non-functional telescopic sight. It usually kills with one shot, at the cost of a slow rate of fire. Armando Mendez notably uses one during the mission "Domo Arigato Domestoboto". One without a scope is carried by Lance in the intro cutscene of the mission "Caught as an Act", and by Phil Cassidy during the cutscene of "Blitzkrieg Strikes Again".

Stainless Steel Colt Python - .357 Magnum
In-game model.
Shooters at Phil's firing range aim with their scoped Colt Pythons.

Shotguns

Over and Under Shotgun

The Over and Under Shotgun returns from Liberty City Stories, and still function erroneously as a pump-action shotgun. Once again, it can be found in police cars, and is carried as a self-defense weapon by gun shop owners.

Browning 5.25 O/U - 12 gauge
In-game model.

Mossberg 500

A sawed-off Mossberg 500 appears as the "Stubby Shotgun". It has a wider shot spread than the other shotguns, but a shorter range.

Sawed-off Mossberg 500 - 12 Gauge
Mossberg 500 model.
A drunken Phil points his Mossberg 500 at Vic.

Franchi SPAS-12

The Franchi SPAS-12 returns with its semi-automatic function and 7-round magazine, but this time with the stock unfolded.

Franchi SPAS-12 with extended stock - 12 Gauge
In-game model.

Submachine Guns

Skorpion Vz. 61

The Skorpion Vz. 61 replaces the TEC-9 from previous games, and retains its 50-round magazine capacity rather than the correct 20-rounder from the real Skorpion.

In-game model.

MAC-10

The MAC-10 returns, but this time it has a slower rate of fire and comes with a non-functioning suppressor (and a rather stubby one to boot).

Uzi

The Uzi is carried by SWAT and some gangsters. It has a good rate of fire and decent accuracy.

In-game model.

"SMG"

The "SMG" is carried by the FBI and US Army, as well as by some gang members. It is a strange amalgamation of Heckler & Koch MP5 parts: it has the collapsible stock of the MP5A3 but the shorter barrel and vertical foregrip of the MP5K. The foregrip is undersized, giving the appearance of a smooth forearm with a catch at the end as seen on the civilian SP89 variant, and the muzzle almost appears to be an attempt at an MP5SD suppressor (it extends past the forearm, but is thicker than a barrel should be.)

A little of this...
...a little of that...
...and a smidgeon of this...
... and voila! Rockstar's very own mutant MP5 thing.

Assault Rifles

AK-47

The AK-47 appears in the game, with good stopping power and accuracy. It is carried by several gangsters, and is notably used by Jerry Martinez and Diego Mendez.

XM16E1

The XM16E1 is carried by by National Guardsmen, and comes with great accuracy and stopping power. At some point, Lance Vance refers to it as an M4, which is not only incorrect, but also anachronistic. It holds 30 rounds, despite being modeled with a 20-round magazine. While the M16A2 was developed in the early 80s, the US Army (who occupies Fort Baxter) didn't adopt it until 1988, four years after the game's events, so the use of the XM16E1 is (relatively) accurate.

Sniper Rifles

M21

The M21 replaces the Remington 700 from previous games. This is a rather inappropriate choice, as the real M21 is semi-automatic, whereas the in-game weapon still operates in bolt-action mode.

M21 Sniper Weapon System - 7.62x51mm
In-game model.

SVD Dragunov

The SVD Dragunov is the most powerful sniper rifle in the game. It holds 7 rounds per magazine (like the SR9(T) from GTA Vice City and GTA Liberty City Stories) rather than the real 10, and has a laser magnifying scope.

Heavy Weapons

M249E1 SAW

The M249E1 SAW appears in the game; it holds 100 rounds and is very powerful, being able to destroy vehicles very quickly. Phil Cassidy is seen using one in a firing range when he is first met by Vic. The player is tasked to use one from a helicopter in the mission in "Farewell to Arms", to shoot gang members attacking Gonzalez's men. During free roam, it can only found in one place, which is the movie studio in Prawn Island (unless the player shoots all 99 red balloons of game, in which case the M249 will spawn at every safehouse owned by Vic).

Handheld GAU-19/A

As in Liberty City Stories, the portable "Minigun" is modeled after a General Dynamics GAU-19/A.

General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG
In-game model.

M72 LAW

The M72 LAW appears, modified with a pistol grip and reloading capabilities. It is used by Vic during the mission "Turn on, Tune in, Bug out", to destroy several antennae being used by the DEA in their attempt to listen in on Vic and Lance. A group of thugs sent to intimidate the duo also uses one in the level "Light My Pyre" to destroy Lance's car.

M72 LAW - 66mm
In-game model.

Flamethrower

The fictional flamethrower seen in previous GTA games makes a final appearance in Vice City Stories.

Other

M230 Chain Gun

Vice City Stories features a version of the Hughes AH-64 Apache, known in-game as the "Hunter". It has an M230 Chain Gun in a chin mount, wing mounts containing eight AGM-114 Hellfire missiles in two packs of four, as well as two non-functional Hydra 70 rocket pods. Vic steals a "Hunter" from the army base in the penultimate mission of the game, then proceeds to used it in the final mission in order to shoot up a building. After the game is completed, the helicopter becomes available at the east entrance of the Escobar International Airport.

Remington 870 (airsoft)

An artwork of Bryan Forbes shows him holding a sawed-off Remington 870, more precisely an airsoft version as evidenced by the short box magazine.
