The SP89

I can't believe that nobody noticed this anachronism, but I suppose it isn't the first time that Rockstar Games has goofed on firearm specifications in video games (much less, ones set in the past). 203.206.5.121 16:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

The Ithaca 37

This has beenn a really difficult gun to identify, so I just went to get confirmation: is this an Ithaca 37? -Gunman69 16:52, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

It is a Over and under double barrel shotgun. There are pictures of it in the double barrel shotgun page. This shotgun also appears in Liberty city Stories.-Oliveira 16:55, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

MP5 Thingamabob

It is not at all a safe assumption that the "SMG" is directly based on an SP89. Take into account A: the frankengun mishmash appearance of it, and B: the fact that both Vice City and Liberty City Stories had their own MP5K abominations that were very clearly not SP89's either. PersonOfInterest

Anachronisms?

I'm not sure if the US Army adopted the M249 in 1984, if so then the M249's appearance is anachronistic. Though you could explain that it's an FN Minimi. But then again, I'm not sure when the Minimi itself was put in production. The Beretta's presence is completely unrealistic as the XM9 trials didn't happen until 1985 and even then the Army didn't receive the M9 pistols until 1988. It would make more sense if they stuck with the 1911. Correct me if any of this is wrong though. Hughjefender
