Much like the real NYC, the civilian sale and ownership of firearms in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is illegal, but just as it is with real life criminals, [[Niko Bellic]] and friends don't seem to mind breaking the law in order to arm themselves. Keeping in line with the political reality satirized by the game, the [[Ammu-Nation]] shops found in previous GTAs have been closed down due to strict gun laws. Taking their place, however, are a number of shady, underground gun shops located in basements and alleys around the city. Additionally, if the player has earned enough respect with [[Little Jacob]], the player has the option to call him to meet the player nearby with a vehicle full of weapons at a reduced price. With the exception of Thrown Weapons, the player no longer needs to purchase multiple instances of firearms in order to stock up on ammunition, instead the player buys one gun and pays a smaller amount for each additional magazine. However, the player now has a limit on how much ammunition he can carry for each weapon. | Much like the real NYC, the civilian sale and ownership of firearms in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] is illegal, but just as it is with real life criminals, [[Niko Bellic]] and friends don't seem to mind breaking the law in order to arm themselves.

Unarmed, the player is able to dodge attacks, disarm opponents, and perform ground [[Fist|punches]] and kicks, lefts and rights, and uppercuts and jabs. Moves can be strung together to create a combo. On some occasions, the player can perform "Stun" hits. Fighting unarmed is the best way to fight someone without killing them, something that can be important in several missions. With the fist selected as current weapon, the player can pick up random objects off the streets, such as a brick or a bottle, however the player cannot switch weapons while an item is picked up, unless the item is a thrown item such as a brick. Oddly, all items on the street that the player picks up do the same damage when thrown at someone. | Unarmed, the player is able to dodge attacks, disarm opponents, and perform ground [[Fist|punches]] and kicks, lefts and rights, and uppercuts and jabs.
