The weapons themselves are largely similar to the selection of weapons from [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] and [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], such as the pistol, the machine gun (which has been expanded to include a Micro Uzi submachine gun, an AK-47 assault rifle and an M-16 assault rifle in GTA III), the rocket launcher and the flamethrower from GTA1, and the shotgun and thrown weapons (Molotov cocktails and grenades) from GTA2. The weapons weren't categorized, so a player could have all weapons at the same time, meaning that the weapon selection system in GTA III, and in most other GTA games, involves [[wp:Hammerspace|hammerspace]].

The porting of  GTA III into a three dimensional environment also allowed for the inclusion of the sniper rifle and first-person aiming using the assault rifle and rocket launcher. In addition, it becomes possible in the game to perform drive-by shooting using the Uzi. The inclusion of magazine-based weapons also introduces the need to reload weapons after a magazine of ammunition is depleted. Additionally, wielding certain weapons would now restrict movement of the player. Weapons may be purchased from local firearms dealers and businesses, retrieved for free from certain dead gang members, mission-specific characters and law enforcers, or picked up in certain spots in the city.
