The weapons in GTA IV have 2 strength tiers, instead of 3 levels, like in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. Also, the specific name for each gun has been removed, probably for legal reasons; instead, weapons have been given more generalized names (for example, the [[AK-47]] is called the ''Assault Rifle'' and the [[Desert Eagle]] is called the ''Combat Pistol''). | The weapons in GTA IV have 2 strength tiers, instead of 3 levels, like in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]].

Much like the real NYC, the civilian sale and ownership of firearms in [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] is illegal, but just as it is with real life criminals, [[Niko]] 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. Unlike prior games, the player does not need to purchase multiple instances of firearms 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.
