Talk:Grand Theft Auto IV
- Just a quick message from the creator, thanks for updating and correcting the article. It looks professional now. Thanks again.
Colt M4A1
Total BS, that's got to be a M468/REC7, model design is nothing close to an M4A1 (comment placed here so as to not clutter up the main article)
- Hi. I've looked at M468 and the REC7, and while, yes, they do bear some resemblance, there are also many differences which distinguish it to not be the weapon used in GTA IV. For example, the foregrip of the M468 is vastly different from the in-game weapon which is cylindrical, much like a stock M4, and does not have the R.I.S foregrip which features on the M468 or REC7. Another difference is that of the front sight, which is upright and fixed, found on the game's version of the weapon (again, like the M4A1) does not feature on either the M468 or REC7. Furthermore, neither the M468 or REC7 have a front sling hoop and the M468 has a shorter barrel than the game's weapon. Chef Brian Vrooom 20:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- This gun can't be an M468 or a 416 because both those guns have flip up sights. This rifle in game has the standard front sights of an M4. It just has the carrying handle taken off and replaced with an H&K style rear sight. Get pics of a these guns together on one screen and you can really tell the difference. Hell, I'll do it myself
Now comparing, seeing which one fits the one Niko is using.
Definitely a M4A1 Carbine, The only thing that makes even an argument for it being a 416 is the absence of the carry handle and rear site. Another thing is the cylindrical AR-15 foregrips (they arent rail covers) I have yet to see a 416 with a cylindrical foregrip. -User:AdAstra2009
Lost and Damned Compensated Pistol
Definitely a CZ-75 style pistol,looks nothing like a BHP, besides the slide is not tall enough to be a Browning Hi-Power.
HK XM320
From the picture on the official site it looks like the grenade launcher is the XM320's predecessor the HK69. You can tell from where the stock connects to the frame. But we shall see when the game is released if the breach opens to the side or top. It might be a combination gun.
Lost and Damned Weapons
Anyone got any new, good pictures of the new weapons from the Lost and Damned? If you have any, post them.
Glock 17
It would actually make sense that the regular pistol in the game was a Glock 21. As someone pointed out, the CZ-75, a 9mm pistol, isn't as powerful as the Glock. In addition, we should call it a Glock 21 based on appearance, not specifications. For instance, previous GTA games used a Colt 1911 as the main pistol, despite it having an unrealistic 17 round magazine. Nonetheless, it was a Colt 1911, just like this is clearly a Glock 21.
- I question the idea that the Glock pistol is a Glock 21, the article says you can read '21' on the weapon's slide in the gunshop, but I don't know how anyone discerned that kind of detail in-game, it's too dark and too difficult to get a good look at the weapon up close. Point is, I question the reliability of that claim.
- Moving on, I found a no frills, white background screenshot of the weapon model, and even that is too dark and too small to see much detail, but I brightened it and zoomed it up in PhotoImpact and, there's the number:
- Close up view of the slide
- As you can see, it's not 21 but 22. That'd make it a Glock 22 in .40 S&W, still inconsistent with the magazine capacity (9x19mm = 17, .40 = 15), but less so when it comes to stopping power (More powerful than the CZ-75 or not, the Glock 17 is still quite weak), and more realistic than .45, since I hear a lot of U.S. police departments are using .40 S&W nowadays. --MattyDienhoff 02:39, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Oh ok. Sorry about that. I thought it was a Glock 21 because that's what someone said it was, but they were clearly wrong. You're right, it is a Glock 22. Thanks.
AK-47
Could someone get a good screenshot of the AK-47 in-game and post it.
- There you go. Gunman69
Thanks for the AK-47 screenshot. It looks really good. Now, does anyone have ANY screenshots from the Lost and Damned part of the game? It'd be really cool to see some of the sawn off shotgun and the grenade launcher. I really wanna see what the new guns look like before I download The Lost and The Damned.
Does anyone have any pictures of the Desert Eagle in gameplay? If you have or get any, please post them.
