Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City:
Colt M1911A1
The most popular weapon in the game. Has a large ammunition capacity of 17 rounds (odd, since even a Para p14 high cap can only hold 14. Perhaps the makers liked the 17 round capacity of a Glock 17, and kept it's damage but just HAD to use the M1911 model because it looked SO much better in their eyes) and low damage. It is used by the VCPD, all gang members, and many more.
Colt Python
The Colt Python is an extremely powerful handgun and has a low ammunition capacity of 6 bullets. Can usually kill a person in one shot, except for armored law enforcement units like SWAT and FBI.
Intratec TEC-9
Has a somewhat low rate of fire compared to other submachine guns in the game, moderate damage, and a high capacity magazine of 50 rounds. Used By Streetwannabes.
Ingram MAC-10
A weapon with a high rate of fire and somewhat low damage. Sort of a small upgrade to the Tec-9.
IMI Uzi
Considerably the second most popular weapon in the game. Has moderate damage and a very fast rate of fire. Used by some law enforcement officers (SWAT, Cheetah Undercover officers) and gang members such as Haitians and some Cubans.
Heckler & Koch MP5
One of the most powerful weapons in the game. High rate of fire but slightly less to the Uzi, able to fire long ranges and a moderate ammunition capacity of 30 rounds. Can be found on FBI agents and US Army officers. Ricardo Diaz uses one when Tommy and Lance take over his mansion.
Ithaca 37
A good reliable shotgun with a sort of fast firing rate. Has a low/medium damage. Called "Chrome Shotgun" in game.
Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"
Called a "stubby shotgun". This is the exact same model as used in the TV series "Miami Vice" (which explains why Rockstar used it).
For those of you who think this is a Serbu Super Shorty, this Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" is the exact same model as the one used in the game: http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5056/l1030201wqe9.jpg
Wow it looks exactly like a Serbu Super Shorty, which isn't even a manufactured weapon anyway. It's a style of customization that can be applied to any pump action shotgun. Usually a Remington, sometimes a Mossberg, no reason it can't be applied to an Ithaca, which is what that picture looks like. An Ithaca that has been "Serbued". The folding vertical grip on the pump is the defining characteristic here. It's a Super Shorty, even if it is an Ithaca.
protip: "no it isn't" is a piss poor argument
rebuttal: I'm pretty sure Rockstar did not go out of their way to include an "Ithaca 37 Stakeout that looks like it was modified". They saw a Serbu Super Shorty in a movie, decided it looked cool, and ran with it without checking any facts. Which would explain both its anachronistic presence and any minor details that would lead you to believe it is an Ithaca
Dongs you are an idiot. I saw everybody complaining about your idiotic Perfect Dark article. You don't know what you're talking about so maybe you should just go away and let the adults handle this.
And just as a kick in your nuts, I'm gonna back up my "no fact check" theory right now. Putting the M4 carbine in games that predate 1995 in setting, giving the AR15 rifles 50 and 60 round magazines, giving M1911A1 pistols 12 and 17 round magazines and calling them "nines", giving bolt and pump action rifles either limitless magazines or one shot magazines, etc. all proof that rockstar doesn't know jack cheese about guns and just sticks things there because they look cool, reality be damned.
Now stop editing my article.
- Ok, first off, i'm really not sure who a lot of these comments are directed at. I never wrote "no it isn't". And I have no idea what you mean about Perfect Dark. The only thing I've done is add a link to that website. However, I have contributed A LOT to this article (as well as to all the other Grand Theft Auto articles, even though sometimes I forget to use my screename when editing, lol. You will see when I forget to log in, my user name is 67.232.142.109), and I am free to edit this article in the best means necessary, as is anyone on this website. Maybe you started it, but I must say, you didn't do a very good job.
- But, I didn't come here to attack you personally. It is more likely that the people at Rockstar we're researching the 1980s era for this game, saw the Ithaca 37 used in Miami Vice (the same exact model from the website I linked), thought THAT gun was cool, and used it in the game. And I really fail to see how the gun on the page I linked is exactly like the Serbu Super Shorty. Do you see an ejection port anywhere on this gun? NO.
- I do agree that often times, Rockstar has made stupid mistakes with weapons, but a lot of the weapons they do put in their games are correct. In this game, the Python, Chrome shotgun, Stubby shotgun, Spas-12, Uzi, Mac-10, MP5, Ruger, Sniper Rifle, M60, and RPG all have real life specifications. There are many others in other games as well. Besides which, real life specifications are irrelevent in this matter. We're talking about how a shotgun "looks" not how it "functions". There is a difference. And as far as how a weapon looks, Rockstar has always been accurate with that (for a video game).
- I'd appreciate it if you stop insulting those who are trying to help you see that you are clearly wrong. Maybe you should stop editing the article because you obviously don't know much about guns. -Gunman69 16:45, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- I just looked at the page history. THIS IS NOT YOUR ARTICLE. The person who created this article's screename is "Cutaway", not "PersonsofInterest". You only started editing this article yesterday. Nice try, pal, but in the future, don't try to pass off something that's someone elses as your own. -Gunman69 16:58, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
didn't mean the whole article, just this section, waiting on forums discussion before proceeding with further edits (somebody should put up the actual pic of Don Johnson's shotgun if they feel so strongly about this)
- Oh, ok then. Actually, it was Philip Michael Thomas, not Don Johnson, but whatever, that's not the point. If you look on the Miami Vice page, you'll see a link to the same website, and it says "This was the same gun used by Philip Michael Thomas" (or something like that I think).
- Yeah I just checked. The page I linked is the actual Ithaca 37 used in Miami Vice. Actually, give me a minute, and I'll get the screen shot from Vice City of the stubby. You'll see that it has no ejection port and is much longer than the Serbu, proving it is an Ithaca 37 stakeout. -Gunman69 19:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Here it is:
Obviously, it doesn't look exactly like an Ithaca 37 (because it is a video game and it's animated, lol), but it's pretty much dead on. -Gunman69 19:41, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Franchi SPAS-12
The most powerful shotgun in the game. has a really fast rate of fire with good damage and a small ammo capacity.
