Essentially consisting of punches that temporarily
incapacitate a target, melee attacks are virtually ineffective in
killing people.
Pistol (Slot 1)
The Pistol is a firearm that fires a small number of bullets
at a time and is considered the weakest available weapon in the game.
Found mostly near police stations and hospitals, the pistol is very
easy to find.
Machine Gun (Slot 2)
A firearm that fires a rapid succession of bullets, faster than the Pistol. Obtainable in a majority of locations.
Flamethrower (Slot 3)
A fire-based
weapon that releases a stream of flames, burning people and similarly
damaging vehicles. Perfect for killing a group of people at once, but
is very rare.
The GTA1 rendition of the flamethrower icon is basically a modified version of the machine gun icon.
Rocket Launcher (Slot 4)
A rocket-propelled grenade launcher that fires rockets
designed to explode on impact, generating additional splash damaged in
its vicinity. Ideal for destroying vehicles, but is very rare.
