'''''Grand Theft Auto IV''''' is the fourth numbered game in the popular ''Grand Theft Auto'' franchise, developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The game was released in April of 2008 for PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version following in December of that year. Two additional downloadable content packs for the game, ''The Lost and the Damned'' and ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', were released on Xbox 360 in 2009 as timed exclusives, with PS3 and PC versions following in 2010.

The game is set in "Liberty City", a fictionalized, compacted version of New York City, with the main game's plot focusing on an Eastern European immigrant, Niko Bellic, as he moves to Liberty City to join his cousin Roman and live the American dream, only to become involved with the city's criminal underworld. The DLC episodes instead cast the player in the role of two minor characters from Niko's story, respectively starring biker Johnny Klebitz and Dominican gangster Luis Fernando Lopez.
  
=== Combat Knife ===
+
{{Game Title}}
The combat knife is a small, simple Bowie knife, offering improved damage compared to fists, but severely lacking when it's compared to firearms. With the knife enabled, you are able to perform silent stealth kills on enemies in the game.
 
  
=== Baseball Bat ===
+
__TOC__<br clear=all>
A sturdy, reliable Alabama Lie Detector. Simple and effective, but possibly less effective than the knife.

=== [[Glock 17]] ===

 +
==Glock 17==
 +
The standard handgun in Grand Theft Auto IV is visibly a first generation [[Glock 17]]. It is the standard issue police sidearm and is used by all law enforcement agents and many other characters throughout the game, and is the first firearm in the game. The texture on the slide misidentifies it as a [[Glock 22]]; on the frame, there is only one pin above the trigger, confirming that it is in fact a Glock 17 as suggested by the in-game references to it being a "9mm". In addition, the front sights are simply a mirror image of the rear sights. It is also the primary gun a vigilante will use when attacking. The gun also has a wide slide that is typically found on a [[Glock 21]].
  
The standard handgun in Grand Theft Auto IV is visibly a Glock 17. It is used by the police, as well as various other characters throughout the game. The cheapest for ammo and for the gun itself, the Glock holds a standard capacity of 17 rounds. When looking at the Glock in the gunstore it says "22" on the slide, which is the .40 cal version, while it holds 17 rounds like the 9mm. Also, when buying one off Jacob, it says 9mm. Jacob gives Niko one in "Jamaican Heat", and Niko uses it to cover Jacob during the level, and he later uses it to execute various characters, notably Vlad Glebov, and Mikhail Faustin. He later uses one when he and Roman enter the apartment of Bernie Crane (aka Florian Cravic), and in the "Deal: Mr and Mrs. Bellic", a hitman uses one to try and kill Niko, but ends up killing Roman with it. In the "Revenge: Out of Commision" Level, Jimmy Pegorino uses one during his last stand against Niko.
+
In ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', Tony Prince attempts to commit suicide with a Glock after an associate of his is kidnapped, but fails because he "didn't know to take the safety off". This is incorrect for a real Glock, though some airsoft Glocks use the slide lock tabs as a trigger safety; this may have been the source of the error since other guns in the game are based on airsoft weapons.

=== [[Desert Eagle|IMI Desert Eagle]] ===
+
==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
 +
A variety of characters use the "Combat Pistol", a [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] with a 9-round magazine, but with the .50 AE version's unfluted barrel. The lettering on the slide implies it was based on a reference model with .50 AE or .44 markings, since it says it is a "Deagle .47". It is (obviously) more powerful than the Glock, though the lower capacity make its superiority to the Glock a matter of opinion.

 +
[[Image:GTAIV desetr eagle world.jpg|thumb|600px|none|In-game "Combat Pistol". It was likely based on a replica: note the missing magazine release and uneven coloration typical of poor-quality plastic. Note also the incorrect short slide serrations (which appear closer to that of an earlier [[Desert Eagle Mark VII|Mark VII]] variant). However, the top rail - a Mark XIX feature - is also visible in this image.]]
 +
[[Image:GTAIV-Deagle-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having just been run over by a car, Niko is in no mood for ornery pedestrians. True to its nature, the Desert Eagle has visibly more recoil than Glock, although not seen in this frame. However, this is only the case in the PC version of GTA IV; in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT, it has the same visual recoil as the Glock.]]

[[Image:GTAIV-Deagle-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|His anger satisfied for now, Niko reloads.

The .357 Magnum Desert Eagle, called a 'Combat Pistol' in the game, is the more powerful handgun in GTA IV, and is used by a variety of characters throughout the game. In the mission: "The Holland Play", if you decide to kill Playboy X without a cinematic execution,and before he retreats into an alley, you can pick one up next to his dead body. This comes in handy, as the pistol is not available for purchase until much later, after the mission "Museum Piece" is completed. In "The Lost and Damned", Ray Boccino uses one to threaten Johnny Klebitz and Jim Fitzgerald in the opening cinematic of the mission: "Was it Worth it?".

==Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"==
[[Image:Riding shotgun.jpg|thumb|none|250px|Concept art for GTA IV showing the 'Combat Pistol']]
+
A cheap and poorly done airsoft version of the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] appears as the "Pump Shotgun". As usual for cheap replicas, the details of this are mixed with another model, in this case with the trigger guard and ejection port of the [[Remington 870]]. Various gang members, biker vigilantes, and some LCPD, Alderney State Police, NOOSE, and FIB (in-game counterpart of the real FBI) officers make use of it. The in-game version has a side-mounted ejection port instead of the Ithaca's underside loading/ejection port, no loading port at all, and holds eight shells instead of the Ithaca's four. Packie McReary uses one during "Three Leaf Clover" before switching to his AK-47 and Gordon Sargent uses one during the mission "Waste Not Want Knots". When reloading, Niko always loads two shells, regardless of the number of rounds remaining.

== Shotguns: ==
+
==Remington 1100 TAC 4==
 +
The semi-auto [[Remington Model 1100|Remington 1100 TAC 4]] appears as the "Combat Shotgun". It becomes available later in the game, and can be obtained from LCPD patrol cars even though the cops themselves use the Pump Shotgun when provoked. The in-game version can hold ten shells, two more than its real-life counterpart. It also has a fancy thumbhole stock, barrel ribbing, and a bayonet mount. Interesting to note, while the shotgun is semi-automatic in normal combat, when blind-firing the weapon around a corner, Niko will rack a non-existent pump. As with the Ithaca, the player character always loads two shells when reloading. In the PC version of GTA IV, Niko erroneously inserts ''both'' shells into the side's ejection port, while in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT they are correctly inserted in the loading port at the bottom.

=== [[Ithaca 37]] "Stakeout" ===
+
=Submachine Guns=
 +
==IMI Micro Uzi==
 +
Many criminals in Liberty City use the [[Micro Uzi]]. The weapon packs 50 rounds into the modeled 32-round magazine. It compensates for short range and low accuracy with both a high magazine (the highest in the original game) and a high rate of fire. Jacob uses one several times during the story.

The Ithaca 37 "Stakeout", is the "Pump" entry shotgun. It is used by various gang members and police. For some reason, the in-game clone has a side mounted ejection port, instead of a bottom loading/ejection port that all Ithaca 37 shotguns are fitted with in real life. Also, the in-game clone can hold 8 shells, four more than it's real-life counterpart. Packie McReary uses one during the bank robbery in "Three Leaf Clover" before switching to his M4. His friend Gordon also uses one during the mission "Waste Not Want Knots". Jimmy Pegorino briefly uses one to threaten Niko in the opening cinematic to the mission "Flat Line".
+
==Special Weapons MP-10==
 
+
The [[Special Weapons MP-10|MP-10]] is a standard issue for LCPD N.O.O.S.E. teams and is also used by some gang members. It has a smaller magazine capacity (thirty rounds) than the Micro SMG, but despite using the same 9mm cartridge, is more accurate, more damaging, and has a somewhat longer effective range. In the PC version of GTA IV, Niko racks the charging handle after reloading, while in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT, only an HK slap is performed, indicating that the charging handle incorrectly locked back on its own before changing the magazine.

=Assault Rifles=
 +
==AK-47==
 +
Liberty City's criminals make extensive use of [[AK-47]]s. It is also seen in Niko's hands to execute the final antagonist in the "Revenge" ending of the game (even if the player was not equipped with one before that cutscene).

=== Remington 11-87 ===
+
==M4A1 Carbine==
The Remington 11-87 semi-auto is the "Combat" entry shotgun that becomes available later in the game, and can be obtained from Police Cars despite the fact that the cops themselves actually use Pump Shotguns when prevoked. The in-game clone can hold 10 shells, two more than it's real-life counterpart. It also has a fancy thumbhole stock. In "The Lost and Damned", there are two versions of this particular weapon avaliable for some reason. The first is the thumbhole stocked version from the original game which is avaliable for purchase from Terry's gun van, and normal weapon shops. The second version is fitted with an LE style stock. This version seems to be an easter egg, and has to be found in certain locations, such as the apartment building in the mission: "Buyers Market". This version also appears in one of the trailers.  
+
The [[M4A1 Carbine]] is issued to LCPD N.O.O.S.E teams, prison guards, and select officers guarding public places such as subway stations and the airport, and appears to have the carry handle removed and has only a stick-up rear sight. The firearm also appears in the hands of organized crime groups. It also appears to have a much longer barrel than the standard 14.5 inch. Niko uses an M4A1 during the mission "Three Leaf Clover".

+
=Sniper Rifles=
 +
==Remington 700==
 +
The basic bolt-action sniper rifle featured in the game is the [[Remington 700]], used by the majority of the marksmen. The weapon is fitted with an extended ten-round detachable box magazine, but only holds five rounds for gameplay purposes. Niko uses one to cover Packie during a drug deal and when he later hits a construction site with Playboy X.

 +
[[Image:GTAIV r700 reloading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Niko reloads the Remington. As well as the usual static magazine, he operates the bolt as if it is ''left'' handed.]]
  
== Sub Machine Guns: ==
+
==Heckler & Koch PSG-1==
 +
The "Combat Sniper" rifle is a [[Heckler & Koch PSG-1]]. It has pinpoint accuracy and holds ten rounds, but is (appropriately) very expensive. The weapon's scope is modeled after the [[SVD Dragunov]]s PSO-1 reticle and features a stadiametric rangefinder, which (as is standard in most games) is for decoration only; the bullets always hit the dead centre of the crosshair regardless of range.
 +
It is used sometimes by LCPD snipers.

=== [[Uzi|IMI Micro Uzi]] ===
+
=Launchers=
 +
==RPG-7==
 +
The [[RPG-7]] is the only rocket launcher in the game and can be found occasionally in the game world; it is also given to the player during some missions. It can destroy most vehicles in the game in a single hit.
 +

 +
[[File:GTAIVNikoRPG7.jpg|none|thumb|600px|Closeup on the blast port and sights from a pre-release screenshot.]]
  
The Micro Uzi is used by assorted criminals in Liberty City. The weapon has a standard magazine size of 50 rounds and a fast rate of fire, but severely lacking in accuracy. Jacob uses one twice in the game, first during the "Russian Revolution" level, and later brandishes one in the final levels of the game. Mikail Faustin also uses one briefly before he is killed by Niko in "The Master and the Molotov".

==M26A1 Grenade==

The [[M26 hand grenade]] has a five-second fuse from pin release. An audible alarm beep sounds after three seconds when trying to "cook off" the grenade.

==CZ 75 Automatic==
 +
The expansion pack ''The Lost and Damned'' features a [[CZ 75 Automatic]], the machine pistol version of the CZ 75 pistol. It holds seventeen rounds in the standard magazine (which seems to imply that one round is always chambered) and is referred to as the "Automatic 9mm". It is introduced in the mission "Bad Cop Drop". It is very accurate and has a very high firing rate, but it isn't that powerful. The original game's Glock "Pistol" even seems to do more damage than this weapon.

+
==Remington 1100 TAC 4 (with collapsible stock and pistol grip)==
 +
''The Lost and Damned''’ rendition of the [[Remington Model 1100|Remington 1100 TAC 4]] is fitted with an M4 Carbine-style collapsible stock and a pistol grip. Note that the thumbhole-stocked model from the original game (seen above) is seen when purchasing from Terry's gun van and normal weapon shops, but the new version is always used during gameplay.

The AK-47 is used almost entirely by criminals in the City. This is NOT the AKM, as evidenced by lack of muzzle brake and the stock, which is angled downward compared to an AKM. One is used by one of Faustin's thugs who captures Niko and Roman, another is used later by Pegorino in the "Revenge: Mr. and Mrs. Bellic" level when trying to kill Niko, but kills Kate McReary instead. In either ending, Niko is seen with it as he stands before either Dmitri Rascalov, or Jimmy Pegorino.

 +
The [[Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun]] is called the "Sawn-Off Shotgun" in the game. It is the first weapon that Johnny is equipped with at the start. It is the first shotgun in the series that can be fired from a motorcycle. Unlike the other shotguns in the game, this shotgun has an accurate ammo capacity of only two shells. On a bike, this weapon is very effective, as it can take down almost any target in no time. On foot, it has a very wide range but a very slow rate of fire due to its small capacity. It's a good weapon to have, but it can't compare to the Striker-12.

==Penn Arms Striker-12==
 +
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Penn Arms Striker-12]] is called an "Assault Shotgun" in the game, but characters also refer to it as a "Street Sweeper". It holds an incorrect eight shells and is incorrectly portrayed as being fully automatic with an extremely high rate of fire (the real-life Striker-12 holds twelve rounds and is semi-automatic). It can dispatch enemies and vehicles in no time, including helicopters. It is introduced in the mission "Heavy Toll", but is notably used during the mission "Shifting Weight".
  
=== [[M16 rifle series#M4/M4A1 Carbine|M4A1 Carbine]] ===
+
As with the assault rifles in the base game, in-game characters will reload the Striker-12 with a pull of a nonexistent charging handle, and then simply willing eight fresh 12 gauge shells into existence. The real weapon instead requires shells to be loaded one-by-one into the magazine, and doesn't have a cocking handle.

The M4A1 Carbine is issued to the LCPD S.W.A.T. team, N.O.O.S.E Agents, Prison Guards, and the Airport Police, and appears to have the carry handle removed and has only a stick-up rear sight. Niko, Packie McReary, and Derrick McReary use M4A1s when they rob the Bank of Liberty in the "Three Leaf Clover" level.

+
The [[Heckler & Koch HK69A1]] is called the "Grenade Launcher" in the game. It can be used to bounce grenades off walls and corners in a similar fashion to the RPG. It is introduced in the mission "Action/Reaction". It is very effective, but sometimes overshoots the intended target. Though it fires one grenade at a time, up to twenty can be held in reserve.

 +
[[Image:gta ballad of gay tony.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''GTA IV - The Ballad of Gay Tony'']]
  
The basic, bolt action sniper rifle featured in the game is the M40, a modified version of the Remington 700. It is used by the majority of marksmen in the game.The gun appears to have undergone slight customization, with a 10 round magazine fitted, yet only holds 5. Niko uses one in one level to cover Packie during a drug deal gone wrong, and later he uses one when he hits a construction site with Playboy X.

'''The following weapons are seen in addition to the previously listed weapons in ''Grand Theft Auto IV''''':

=== Heckler & Koch PSG1 ===
+
==AMP Auto Mag Model 180==
 +
The [[AMC Auto Mag Pistol|AMP Auto Mag Model 180]] appears as the ".44", and still oddly shares ammo with the two other pistols. It is first obtained in the "Boulevard Baby" mission. It is more powerful than the Desert Eagle, but holds 8 rounds as opposed to the Desert Eagle's 9-round capacity and fires slower. One early press screenshot from the beta version of the GTA IV depicted Niko holding this pistol, from which it can be concluded that it was originally to be used in the original game, but was removed, and returned only in the DLC.

The semi automatic sniper rifle is a PSG1. Pinpoint accuracy but overpriced in the game. Holds 10 rounds.  
+
==AA-12 CQB==
 +
An [[AA-12|AA-12 CQB]] with a twenty-round drum magazine appears as the "Automatic Shotgun", despite the fact that it (incorrectly) fires in semi-automatic mode, at a slow firing rate of 120 RPM. This is likely for game balance, as its real fire rate of 300 RPM would make it insanely overpowered. Real semi-auto versions (such as the ones developed by Sol Invictus Arms) wouldn't enter production until many years after TBoGT's release. Through a bug, however is possible to fire the weapon with a more realistic rate of fire
  
[[Image:H&KPSG01.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch PSG1 7.62x51mm NATO]]
+
It is also available as the "Explosive Shotgun" which, as the name implies, fires explosive FRAG-12 rounds, identifiable by the green shells it ejects. These shells have massive concussive force, deforming vehicles on impact and easily getting cars to start burning in a few shots. This would especially explain why the firing rate is much lower than it would normally be.

==FN P90==
 +
The [[FN P90]], called "Assault SMG" is found early in the game. It is outfitted with a suppressor and despite using the proprietary 5.7x28mm ammo in real life, it still shares ammo with the three other SMGs (which are chambered in 9x19mm). It's the only SMG that cannot be used for drive-by shootings, though in reality the balancing and size of the P90 make it less unwieldy when fired one-handed than what might be expected.

==IMI Uzi==
 +
The "Gold SMG", obtained from Yusuf Amir's car after finishing all of his missions, is a full-size [[Uzi#Uzi|IMI Uzi]] submachine gun with a golden finish and the stock removed. It has the highest rate of fire of all the SMGs available, but suffers from poor accuracy on account of being hip-fired. It also holds 30-rounds in its 32-round modelled magazine.

The RPG-7V is the only rocket launcher in the game. Each warhead has a 3 second fuse from pulling the trigger. Niko uses one when on a mission for Derrick McReary, using it to shoot down a helicopter from a boat.  
+
==M249 SAW==
[[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg‎ |thumb|none|450px|RPG-7 70mm]]
+
The [[M249 SAW]], called "Advanced MG" is found mid-late in the game. Accurately holds two-hundred rounds, giving it the 2nd largest capacity of any bullet-firing weapon in the series (later tied with the extended belt version of its GTA V counterpart), only outnumbered by the [[M134|minigun]] in other GTA games. Is used by NOOSE agents aboard the Annilathor helicopters.

== Miscellaneous ==
+
==DSR-Precision DSR-1==
 +
The [[DSR-Precision DSR-1]] sniper rifle is first used in the mission "Caught with your Pants Down" to free an APC from a helicopter. It holds ten rounds (the real DSR only holding 4 or 5 rounds, depending on caliber), has an unique green-tinted scope and is able to fire explosive rounds (only in multiplayer; in singleplayer it fires standard rounds).

The Grenade has a 5 second fuse from pin release. After 3 seconds, an audible alarm beep is sounded.  
+
==Satchel Charges==
 +
Satchel charges called "Sticky Bombs" are first used in the "Bang Bang" mission. They are the most effective of the explosive weapons in the 3 games as they are remote-activated by tapping the down button on the D-Pad (consoles) or keyboard (PC), and they can also stick to walls, floors and cars. Multiple sticky bombs can be placed and then detonated at the same time, but to conserve memory, the computer will start deleting sticky bombs if the player attempts to place more than 10 at a time.

==GE M134 Minigun==
 +
Two [[GE M134 Minigun]]s are seen attached to the game's two attack helicopters, the Annihilator and the Buzzard. Both weapons have an unlimited supply of bullets, though the Annihilator will overheat and need to stop firing if too many rounds are fired at once. Also, in ''The Lost and Damned'' & ''The Ballad of Gay Tony'', the Annihilator will fire explosive rounds making it much more effective. The miniguns on the Annihilator fire alternately, at a much slower rate than that of a real minigun, which typically has a fire rate of 2000 to 6000 rounds per minute. The TLAD/TBoGT Annihilator has an even slower fire rate, to balance out their explosive rounds. The Buzzard's MG has a much faster fire rate, more in-keeping with that of a real minigun.

One of the loading screens as the game is starting up depicts two police officers climbing a flight of stairs while brandishing weapons; one has what could be either a Heckler & Koch MP5 or MP10, with the angle making it hard to judge for sure, while the other has a [[Franchi SPAS-12]] shotgun. Also, an early artwork of Niko depicts him holding a [[Franchi SPAS-12]] with its stock removed.

One early press screenshot from the beta version of the game depicted Niko holding a [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 Navy]] with its stock extended. However, this weapon was removed from the final version of the game, and replaced with the [[Special Weapons MP-10|MP-10]]. This was presumably due to H&K's trademarking of the distinctive shape of the MP5.

What appears to be a 3rd Gen [[Glock 23]] pistol is seen in the holster of the armored truck guards. However, they cannot be used, and the guards will still attack the player using the normal Pistol. It is assumed this is a Glock 23 because of the .40 S&W ammunition, which is used in the United States by almost all security services, and because of the large rear sights. The model of the guard is re-used in GTA V.

One early press screenshot from the beta version of the game depicted Niko holding a pistol with a suppressor. However, this weapon was removed from the final version of the game. According to the game files and the remaining gun's texture, one can be suppose that it was a suppressed [[Beretta 92FS]], and that it was planned to appears in the game as "Silenced 9mm". The pistol also has "9mm Ecal 28" markings.

The game's version of this weapon is a full auto CZ-75 fitted with a compensator. It holds 17 rounds, and is reffered to as an "Automatic 9mm". It is introduced in the mission: "Bad Cop Drop". It is very accurate, and has a very high firing rate, but it isn't that powerful. The game's Glock 17 even seems to do more damage than this pistol.

In the gun shops, a "W.O.M.D." poster shows a [[Smith & Wesson 76|Smith & Wesson MK760]], a Canadian [[Sten Mk II]], an [[M3A1 "Grease Gun"]], an [[MP40]], an [[M1A1 Thompson]] with Cutts compensator, a [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] with a short muzzle brake like that of the MP54 prototype, a [[CAR-15|Colt Model 607]], an [[Uzi]] with a wood buttstock and a suppressed [[Madsen M50]].

{{Grand Theft Auto Series}}
Called a "Sawed off Shotgun" in the game. It is the first weapon that you are equiped with in the game. It can be fired while riding on a Motorcycle, but can't be used in other types of vehicles. Reguardless, it is the only shotgun in the series so far that can be fired from a vehicle. Unlike the other shotguns in the game, this shotgun has an acurate ammo capacity, as it holds only two shells. On a bike, this weapon is very effective, as it can take down almost any target in no time. On foot, it has a very wide range, but a very slow firing rate due to it's small ammo capacity. A good weapon to have, but it can't compare to the game's Armsel Striker.

=== [[Armsel Striker and variants|Armsel Striker]] ===
 
Called an "Assault Shotgun" in the game, but is also reffered to as a "Street Sweeper" by characters. This weapon is arguably the best new weapon introduced in the Lost and Damned. It holds 8 shells, and is fully automatic, with an extremly high firing rate. It can dispatch of ememies,and vehicles in no time, and aparently has the ability to take down helicopters as well. It is introduced in the mission: "Heavy Toll", but is notably used during the Saints Row style mission: "Shifting Weight", in which you ride on the back of a speeding bike and take out numerous cop cars, SWAT vans, and helicopters with infinite ammo from this shotgun.

Called the "Grenade Launcher" in the game. It can be used to bounce grenades off walls, and corners in a similar fashion to the RPG. It is introduced in the mission: "Action/Reaction". It is very effective, but sometimes overshoots your intended target. Though it fires one grenade at a time, up to 20 can be held in reserve.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Release Date: 2008
Developer: Rockstar North
Publisher: 2K Games
Series: Grand Theft Auto
Platforms: Playstation 3
Xbox 360
PC
Genre: Third-Person Shooter


Grand Theft Auto IV is the fourth numbered game in the popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. The game was released in April of 2008 for PS3 and Xbox 360, with a PC version following in December of that year. Two additional downloadable content packs for the game, The Lost and the Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony, were released on Xbox 360 in 2009 as timed exclusives, with PS3 and PC versions following in 2010.

The game is set in "Liberty City", a fictionalized, compacted version of New York City, with the main game's plot focusing on an Eastern European immigrant, Niko Bellic, as he moves to Liberty City to join his cousin Roman and live the American dream, only to become involved with the city's criminal underworld. The DLC episodes instead cast the player in the role of two minor characters from Niko's story, respectively starring biker Johnny Klebitz and Dominican gangster Luis Fernando Lopez.

The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Handguns

Glock 17

The standard handgun in Grand Theft Auto IV is visibly a first generation Glock 17. It is the standard issue police sidearm and is used by all law enforcement agents and many other characters throughout the game, and is the first firearm in the game. The texture on the slide misidentifies it as a Glock 22; on the frame, there is only one pin above the trigger, confirming that it is in fact a Glock 17 as suggested by the in-game references to it being a "9mm". In addition, the front sights are simply a mirror image of the rear sights. It is also the primary gun a vigilante will use when attacking. The gun also has a wide slide that is typically found on a Glock 21.

In The Ballad of Gay Tony, Tony Prince attempts to commit suicide with a Glock after an associate of his is kidnapped, but fails because he "didn't know to take the safety off". This is incorrect for a real Glock, though some airsoft Glocks use the slide lock tabs as a trigger safety; this may have been the source of the error since other guns in the game are based on airsoft weapons.

Glock 17 (1st Generation) - 9x19mm
Glock 22 (2nd Generation) - .40 S&W, for comparison. Note how this model has a second pin behind the takedown lever, for retention of the locking block.

Liberty City Gun Club (a parody of the NRA) member Eugene Reaper playing hero during the mission "Three Leaf Clover" takes aim with his Glock. Here you can see the gun has a wide slide that is typically found on a .45 caliber Glock 21. As an interesting easter egg if you listen to this guy's dialogue while he is on the floor you can spot a reference to a certain movie with a similar scene.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

A variety of characters use the "Combat Pistol", a Desert Eagle Mark XIX with a 9-round magazine, but with the .50 AE version's unfluted barrel. The lettering on the slide implies it was based on a reference model with .50 AE or .44 markings, since it says it is a "Deagle .47". It is (obviously) more powerful than the Glock, though the lower capacity make its superiority to the Glock a matter of opinion.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE
In-game "Combat Pistol". It was likely based on a replica: note the missing magazine release and uneven coloration typical of poor-quality plastic. Note also the incorrect short slide serrations (which appear closer to that of an earlier Mark VII variant). However, the top rail - a Mark XIX feature - is also visible in this image.
Having just been run over by a car, Niko is in no mood for ornery pedestrians. True to its nature, the Desert Eagle has visibly more recoil than Glock, although not seen in this frame. However, this is only the case in the PC version of GTA IV; in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT, it has the same visual recoil as the Glock.
His anger satisfied for now, Niko reloads. Reloads in GTA IV are limited in detail due to the mostly static in-game weapon models; here Niko inserts an invisible magazine into his Desert Eagle, followed by miming pulling back the model's immobile slide. The slide also remains stationary when the weapon is fired.

Shotguns

Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"

A cheap and poorly done airsoft version of the Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" appears as the "Pump Shotgun". As usual for cheap replicas, the details of this are mixed with another model, in this case with the trigger guard and ejection port of the Remington 870. Various gang members, biker vigilantes, and some LCPD, Alderney State Police, NOOSE, and FIB (in-game counterpart of the real FBI) officers make use of it. The in-game version has a side-mounted ejection port instead of the Ithaca's underside loading/ejection port, no loading port at all, and holds eight shells instead of the Ithaca's four. Packie McReary uses one during "Three Leaf Clover" before switching to his AK-47 and Gordon Sargent uses one during the mission "Waste Not Want Knots". When reloading, Niko always loads two shells, regardless of the number of rounds remaining.

Remington 1100 TAC 4

The semi-auto Remington 1100 TAC 4 appears as the "Combat Shotgun". It becomes available later in the game, and can be obtained from LCPD patrol cars even though the cops themselves use the Pump Shotgun when provoked. The in-game version can hold ten shells, two more than its real-life counterpart. It also has a fancy thumbhole stock, barrel ribbing, and a bayonet mount. Interesting to note, while the shotgun is semi-automatic in normal combat, when blind-firing the weapon around a corner, Niko will rack a non-existent pump. As with the Ithaca, the player character always loads two shells when reloading. In the PC version of GTA IV, Niko erroneously inserts both shells into the side's ejection port, while in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT they are correctly inserted in the loading port at the bottom.

Submachine Guns

IMI Micro Uzi

Many criminals in Liberty City use the Micro Uzi. The weapon packs 50 rounds into the modeled 32-round magazine. It compensates for short range and low accuracy with both a high magazine (the highest in the original game) and a high rate of fire. Jacob uses one several times during the story.

Niko holds a Micro Uzi in the PC version of GTA IV. In the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT, the player character grasps the pistol grip with both hands.

Special Weapons MP-10

The MP-10 is a standard issue for LCPD N.O.O.S.E. teams and is also used by some gang members. It has a smaller magazine capacity (thirty rounds) than the Micro SMG, but despite using the same 9mm cartridge, is more accurate, more damaging, and has a somewhat longer effective range. In the PC version of GTA IV, Niko racks the charging handle after reloading, while in the console counterpart and in all versions of TLAD/TBoGT, only an HK slap is performed, indicating that the charging handle incorrectly locked back on its own before changing the magazine.

Assault Rifles

AK-47

Liberty City's criminals make extensive use of AK-47s. It is also seen in Niko's hands to execute the final antagonist in the "Revenge" ending of the game (even if the player was not equipped with one before that cutscene).

Type III AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine is issued to LCPD N.O.O.S.E teams, prison guards, and select officers guarding public places such as subway stations and the airport, and appears to have the carry handle removed and has only a stick-up rear sight. The firearm also appears in the hands of organized crime groups. It also appears to have a much longer barrel than the standard 14.5 inch. Niko uses an M4A1 during the mission "Three Leaf Clover".

Colt M4A1 with carry handle removed - 5.56x45mm
In-game "Carbine Rifle". This is a contradiction in the strictest sense, since "carbine" usually refers to a shortened version of a full-sized rifle or musket; "carbine rifle" would mean the weapon is both shortened and full-length. Note the fire selector is on semi.

Sniper Rifles

Remington 700

The basic bolt-action sniper rifle featured in the game is the Remington 700, used by the majority of the marksmen. The weapon is fitted with an extended ten-round detachable box magazine, but only holds five rounds for gameplay purposes. Niko uses one to cover Packie during a drug deal and when he later hits a construction site with Playboy X.

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

The "Combat Sniper" rifle is a Heckler & Koch PSG-1. It has pinpoint accuracy and holds ten rounds, but is (appropriately) very expensive. The weapon's scope is modeled after the SVD Dragunovs PSO-1 reticle and features a stadiametric rangefinder, which (as is standard in most games) is for decoration only; the bullets always hit the dead centre of the crosshair regardless of range. It is used sometimes by LCPD snipers.

Launchers

RPG-7

The RPG-7 is the only rocket launcher in the game and can be found occasionally in the game world; it is also given to the player during some missions. It can destroy most vehicles in the game in a single hit.

The Lost and Damned

GTA IV - The Lost and Damned

The following weapons are seen in addition to the previously listed weapons in Grand Theft Auto IV:

CZ 75 Automatic

The expansion pack The Lost and Damned features a CZ 75 Automatic, the machine pistol version of the CZ 75 pistol. It holds seventeen rounds in the standard magazine (which seems to imply that one round is always chambered) and is referred to as the "Automatic 9mm". It is introduced in the mission "Bad Cop Drop". It is very accurate and has a very high firing rate, but it isn't that powerful. The original game's Glock "Pistol" even seems to do more damage than this weapon.

Remington 1100 TAC 4 (with collapsible stock and pistol grip)

The Lost and Damned’ rendition of the Remington 1100 TAC 4 is fitted with an M4 Carbine-style collapsible stock and a pistol grip. Note that the thumbhole-stocked model from the original game (seen above) is seen when purchasing from Terry's gun van and normal weapon shops, but the new version is always used during gameplay.

Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun

The Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun is called the "Sawn-Off Shotgun" in the game. It is the first weapon that Johnny is equipped with at the start. It is the first shotgun in the series that can be fired from a motorcycle. Unlike the other shotguns in the game, this shotgun has an accurate ammo capacity of only two shells. On a bike, this weapon is very effective, as it can take down almost any target in no time. On foot, it has a very wide range but a very slow rate of fire due to its small capacity. It's a good weapon to have, but it can't compare to the Striker-12.

Penn Arms Striker-12

The Penn Arms Striker-12 is called an "Assault Shotgun" in the game, but characters also refer to it as a "Street Sweeper". It holds an incorrect eight shells and is incorrectly portrayed as being fully automatic with an extremely high rate of fire (the real-life Striker-12 holds twelve rounds and is semi-automatic). It can dispatch enemies and vehicles in no time, including helicopters. It is introduced in the mission "Heavy Toll", but is notably used during the mission "Shifting Weight".

As with the assault rifles in the base game, in-game characters will reload the Striker-12 with a pull of a nonexistent charging handle, and then simply willing eight fresh 12 gauge shells into existence. The real weapon instead requires shells to be loaded one-by-one into the magazine, and doesn't have a cocking handle.

Heckler & Koch HK69A1

The Heckler & Koch HK69A1 is called the "Grenade Launcher" in the game. It can be used to bounce grenades off walls and corners in a similar fashion to the RPG. It is introduced in the mission "Action/Reaction". It is very effective, but sometimes overshoots the intended target. Though it fires one grenade at a time, up to twenty can be held in reserve.

The Ballad of Gay Tony

GTA IV - The Ballad of Gay Tony

The following weapons are seen in addition to the previously listed weapons in Grand Theft Auto IV:

AMP Auto Mag Model 180

The AMP Auto Mag Model 180 appears as the ".44", and still oddly shares ammo with the two other pistols. It is first obtained in the "Boulevard Baby" mission. It is more powerful than the Desert Eagle, but holds 8 rounds as opposed to the Desert Eagle's 9-round capacity and fires slower. One early press screenshot from the beta version of the GTA IV depicted Niko holding this pistol, from which it can be concluded that it was originally to be used in the original game, but was removed, and returned only in the DLC.

AA-12 CQB

An AA-12 CQB with a twenty-round drum magazine appears as the "Automatic Shotgun", despite the fact that it (incorrectly) fires in semi-automatic mode, at a slow firing rate of 120 RPM. This is likely for game balance, as its real fire rate of 300 RPM would make it insanely overpowered. Real semi-auto versions (such as the ones developed by Sol Invictus Arms) wouldn't enter production until many years after TBoGT's release. Through a bug, however is possible to fire the weapon with a more realistic rate of fire

It is also available as the "Explosive Shotgun" which, as the name implies, fires explosive FRAG-12 rounds, identifiable by the green shells it ejects. These shells have massive concussive force, deforming vehicles on impact and easily getting cars to start burning in a few shots. This would especially explain why the firing rate is much lower than it would normally be.

FN P90

The FN P90, called "Assault SMG" is found early in the game. It is outfitted with a suppressor and despite using the proprietary 5.7x28mm ammo in real life, it still shares ammo with the three other SMGs (which are chambered in 9x19mm). It's the only SMG that cannot be used for drive-by shootings, though in reality the balancing and size of the P90 make it less unwieldy when fired one-handed than what might be expected.

IMI Uzi

The "Gold SMG", obtained from Yusuf Amir's car after finishing all of his missions, is a full-size IMI Uzi submachine gun with a golden finish and the stock removed. It has the highest rate of fire of all the SMGs available, but suffers from poor accuracy on account of being hip-fired. It also holds 30-rounds in its 32-round modelled magazine.

M249 SAW

The M249 SAW, called "Advanced MG" is found mid-late in the game. Accurately holds two-hundred rounds, giving it the 2nd largest capacity of any bullet-firing weapon in the series (later tied with the extended belt version of its GTA V counterpart), only outnumbered by the minigun in other GTA games. Is used by NOOSE agents aboard the Annilathor helicopters.

DSR-Precision DSR-1

The DSR-Precision DSR-1 sniper rifle is first used in the mission "Caught with your Pants Down" to free an APC from a helicopter. It holds ten rounds (the real DSR only holding 4 or 5 rounds, depending on caliber), has an unique green-tinted scope and is able to fire explosive rounds (only in multiplayer; in singleplayer it fires standard rounds).

Satchel Charges

Satchel charges called "Sticky Bombs" are first used in the "Bang Bang" mission. They are the most effective of the explosive weapons in the 3 games as they are remote-activated by tapping the down button on the D-Pad (consoles) or keyboard (PC), and they can also stick to walls, floors and cars. Multiple sticky bombs can be placed and then detonated at the same time, but to conserve memory, the computer will start deleting sticky bombs if the player attempts to place more than 10 at a time.

GE M134 Minigun

Two GE M134 Miniguns are seen attached to the game's two attack helicopters, the Annihilator and the Buzzard. Both weapons have an unlimited supply of bullets, though the Annihilator will overheat and need to stop firing if too many rounds are fired at once. Also, in The Lost and Damned & The Ballad of Gay Tony, the Annihilator will fire explosive rounds making it much more effective. The miniguns on the Annihilator fire alternately, at a much slower rate than that of a real minigun, which typically has a fire rate of 2000 to 6000 rounds per minute. The TLAD/TBoGT Annihilator has an even slower fire rate, to balance out their explosive rounds. The Buzzard's MG has a much faster fire rate, more in-keeping with that of a real minigun.

Unusable Weapons

Franchi SPAS-12

One of the loading screens as the game is starting up depicts two police officers climbing a flight of stairs while brandishing weapons; one has what could be either a Heckler & Koch MP5 or MP10, with the angle making it hard to judge for sure, while the other has a Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun. Also, an early artwork of Niko depicts him holding a Franchi SPAS-12 with its stock removed.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

One early press screenshot from the beta version of the game depicted Niko holding a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 Navy with its stock extended. However, this weapon was removed from the final version of the game, and replaced with the MP-10. This was presumably due to H&K's trademarking of the distinctive shape of the MP5.

Glock 23

What appears to be a 3rd Gen Glock 23 pistol is seen in the holster of the armored truck guards. However, they cannot be used, and the guards will still attack the player using the normal Pistol. It is assumed this is a Glock 23 because of the .40 S&W ammunition, which is used in the United States by almost all security services, and because of the large rear sights. The model of the guard is re-used in GTA V.

Zastava M70AB2

The Zastava M70AB2 was a planed to appear as the in game "Assault Rifle". In the final version, It being replaced to more traditional AK-47. A Zastava can be seen on one of the concept artwork for Little Jacob.

Beretta 92FS

One early press screenshot from the beta version of the game depicted Niko holding a pistol with a suppressor. However, this weapon was removed from the final version of the game. According to the game files and the remaining gun's texture, one can be suppose that it was a suppressed Beretta 92FS, and that it was planned to appears in the game as "Silenced 9mm". The pistol also has "9mm Ecal 28" markings.
