Ammu-Nation
Ammu-Nation is the standard and only gun shop in all Grand Theft Auto III era games. The player can obtain weapons there, it stocks everything from a pistol to an assault rifle; and you can also purchase armour and grenades. The name Ammu-Nation is a mix of Ammunition and Nation, which shows they are very patriotic.
From the start of a new game, Ammu-Nation stores have depleted gun stock, so only a few (and weak) weapons are available at the time. However as the player completes more and more missions, more and better weapons will gradually become available at the store. Ammu-Nation also does not sell any heavy weaponry, except in GTA Vice City Stories.
In each appearance, the clerks always carry a weapon. In GTA III, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, all clerks carry Shotguns and will attack the player if aimed or shot at. In GTA San Andreas, each clerk dual wields a pistol with accurate shots. In GTA Vice City, each clerk at each store carries a different weapon, and they include the Mac (Ocean Beach), Uz-I (North Point Mall) and .357 (Downtown).
The store is absent in Grand Theft Auto IV, explained by the mayor having strict gun control laws. Instead, Niko Bellic can buy weaponry from underground arms dealers, or buy guns from the trunk of his friend Little Jacob's car.
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Ammu-Nation is a website, which the player can order weapons from. These are delivered to safehouses. Though no actual stores are seen, trucks are driven around Liberty City and often contain weapons.
Commercials
Ammu-Nation radio commercials make it clear that the store is run with with a right-wing paranoia philosophy, describing itself as the "store leading the fight against communism". The store also seems to promote the purchase of its products for illegal purchases, even suggesting they be used to kill one's mother-in-law if she is "being a bitch".
Trivia
- There is an unused Ammu-Nation interior in San Andreas. It has two floors and can only be entered using certain cheats or with cheat devices. The store is functional if entered properly.
- Ammu-Nation seems to have connections with Mr. Black and his contract killing company, since during a mission in GTA Vice City, protagonist Tommy Vercetti is hired to kill a business man, steal a briefcase he's carrying and deliver it to the owner of an Ammu-Nation local in Downtown, Vice City.
