Weapons in Grand Theft Auto 2 consist of a mixture of existing equipment brought over from Grand Theft Auto 1 and additional weaponry that range from the realistic to the outlandish.
As is the case with GTA1, 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.
Basically a pair of Pistols, allowing the player to fire double the number of bullets at a time, with a firing rate still below that of the Machine Gun.
A firearm more suited for close quarter combat, the Shotgun shoot pellets that disperses as it travels further, reducing its effectiveness with increased distance.
A futuristic weapon designed to fire bolts of electricity at a target. Unusually, the player must continue to fire the gun at a target for two second to kill him, or he will escape unharmed. The weapon is also weak in damaging vehicles.
Proximity mines designed to be dropped from the player's car. The mine will detonate when any vehicle is in contact, destroying it in the resulting explosion. The Mine is suited for evasive or offensive missions.
Vehicle mounted oil tanks designed to dump a trail of slippery oil behind the player's vehicle. Any vehicle in contact with the oil slick will evidently lose control, making the upgrade ideal for evasions.
