The aforementioned concept has remained the same between GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], but underwent several changes. From [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] onwards, players are also allowed to shoot forward while on a motorbike or bicycle, which is usually far more effective than conventional drive-by shooting in cars due to the player being able to watch the road ''and'' shoot at a target at the same time; "drive-by" shooting on boats are made possible. Additionally, in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the protagonist is able to shoot forward while driving the [[jetski]]. [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories allow for non-player passengers of a car to perform drive-by shooting, shooting with [[pistol]]s or sub-machine guns; however, the effectiveness of this feature is dependent on how close the car is to targets. | The aforementioned concept has remained the same between GTA III and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], but underwent several changes.

The ability for the player to shoot as a passenger was first explored in GTA Vice City, during "[[Phnom Penh '86]]" (positioned on the side of a [[Maverick]]) and "[[Supply & Demand]]" (positioned on the back of a [[Squalo]]), when the player is able to free-aim, but use only weapons with first-person view (the [[M-60]] and [[Ruger]]). In GTA San Andreas, free-aiming first person view is additionally utilized while the player is seated as a passenger in a motorbike and a car, during "[[Just Business]]" and "[[End of the Line]]." A few missions reused the method of first-person free-aim drive-by during "[[Reuniting the Families]]" and "[[The Da Nang Thang]]." | The ability for the player to shoot as a passenger was first explored in GTA Vice City, during "[[Phnom Penh '86]]" (positioned on the side of a [[Maverick]]) and "[[Supply & Demand]]" (positioned on the back of a [[Squalo]]), when the player is able to free-aim, but use only weapons with first-person view (the [[M-60]] and [[Ruger]]).

Overall, the Micro Uzi in GTA IV and TLAD is the best weapon for drive-bys in cars with its incredible rate of fire, while the the [[Gold SMG]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] is the best weapon available. The M4 carbine is most suited for passengers on aircraft and boats, but the accuracy of gunfire from a helicopter or on a boat is often abysmal due to difficulty in aiming (due to rapid movement of the vehicle) and a limited field of view. | Overall, the Micro Uzi in GTA IV and TLAD is the best weapon for drive-bys in cars with its incredible rate of fire, while the the [[Gold SMG]] in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] is the best weapon available.
