Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The following weapons appear in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas:
Colt M1911 Govt. 9MM
Called the "Pistol" it is used by all members of the San Andreas Law Enforcement community, unrealistically, this weapon carries 17 rounds in a magazine and isn't very powerful, but when you reach the hitman skill level, you can wield two of these. A silenced version is also available for use in the game. (Oddly enough, the silenced version is actually MORE powerful(maybe its the .45), in reality they are less powerful).
IMI 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, carries one during the "High Noon" level. CJ is seen holding one after Officer Tenpenny is killed. Cesar Vialpando uses one in one level during the Los Santos riots.
Glock 17
Not an in-game weapon, but it 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 to threaten Ken Rosenberg and Officer Jimmy Hernandez to kill Officer Ralph Pendelbury.
Ithaca 37
The Ithaca M37 is basic shotgun carried by some Police, gangs and enemies in the game, and has a slow rate of fire, but is quite effective at CQC. CJ and Catalina use two of these weapons during a bank robbery level. It appears to be equipped with a high capacity magazine tube.
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 uses one when he confronts CJ after he kills Big Smoke.
Intratec TEC-9
TEC-9s are used by Grove Street gangbangers and assorted criminals in the game, and 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 slightly more accurate and powerful than the TEC-9, and can be eventually be double-wielded like the TEC-9.
Heckler & Koch MP5
Called the "SMG" in the game, it is very powerful and accurate for an SMG, and is used by Russians and Mafia thugs alike, and by the FBI Agents in the game. Some LSPD SWAT Officers are seen carrying them as well Also gangstas carry them in gang wars and on the street .
Norinco Type 56
Called an "AK-47" in game, it is actually the Norinco Type 56, as told by it's hooded front sights. Some enemies and gang members use this weapon as well. A rusty old one is used by CJ during the "Reuniting the Families" level, when he, Sweet, Ryder, and Big Smoke are fleeing from the LSPD, and eventually jams on CJ. Also worth noting is the fact that the gun is unrealistically 2/3 long as CJ is tall.
Colt M653
Called the "M4" in the game, it is actually the Colt Model 653 Carbine, which is distinguished by it's 14.5 inch barrel. It is used by National Guard Soldiers in the game, and by some of Big Smoke's thugs when CJ attacks his crack fortress. It is more accurate and powerful than 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) .
Marlin Model 336
Called the "Country Rifle" in game, the Marlin Model 336 has no zoom, but is very accurate. It is often left out by players as it is very slow firing alongside there are better weapons.
Remington 700
Called the "Sniper Rifle" in game, it only has one improvement over the Country Rifle, and that is a zoomable scope.
Hand Held GE M134
The most powerful weapon in the game, this weapon is used 3 times by CJ:, first when protecting Zero's 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.
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 / FIM-92 Stinger
Called the "Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher" in the game, this weapon can lock onto enemy vehicles, making this weapon more effective than the Rocket Launcher at shooting down helicopters. Strangely, when it's on the ground it resembles an SA-7 Grail, but when CJ picks it up it turns into an FIM-92 Stinger.
Flamethrower
A hand held flamethrower that scorches anyone in front of it. It has a medium-long range.
