Weapons

Slot 1 - Hand
Weapons in this slot allow you to attack and block.Target with R1 and press Square to block.
Fist
Conviently located at the end of each of CJ's arms
Brass Knuckles
Fists now come with attachable brass knuckles for that extra sting

Slot 2 - Melee
Weapons in this slot allow you to attack and block.Target with R1 and press Square to block.
Katana
Long. Pointy. Sword.
Shovel
Multi-use tool. Smack someone in the head and then use it to dig a hole and bury the body!
Baseball Bat
Good for bashing skulls and hitting home runs.
Knife
Stabby McStab.
Golf Club
Get in a round of putting, then wrap the club around your friend's neck
Cane
Not much use for this. Funny because you know there's an old man that can't walk because of you.
Pool Stick
Lost a game of pool? Crack this over your opponent's back. If you lose, you still win!
Night Stick
Cops think this thing actually helps them in the fight against crime. Why else would they still carry it?
Chainsaw
Good for carving the Thanksgiving feast. Or, if you're a vegetarian/European/hippie, you can always shred someone's gut with it.

Slot 3 - Hand Guns
Pistols and such are always good to use as a backup if your rifle gets jammed, or runs out of ammo.
Pistol
The most basic firearm in the GTA series. Just about every gang member will have one of these, not to mention cops.
Desert Eagle
A lot more powerful than the 9mm pistol, and a lot more cool-looking. Just use this one instead.
Silenced 9mm
9mm pistol + silencer = this. Good for stealth kills. Not good for kills.

Slot 4 - Shotguns
Shotguns are great tools for creating flying bits of human bodies in the pull of a trigger, but only good if you use them up close.
Chrome Shotgun
Good all-around gun to force people out of homes with. Look down the barrel of one of these and you'll figure out why.
Spas12 Combat Shotgun
Great weapon for close-range battles. Rapid-fire increases the chance that you'll go home with someone else's blood on your threads.
Sawn-Off Shotgun
You can weild two of these once you reach Hitman level; but to reach Hitman level, you have to not suck.

Slot 5 - Machine Pistols
The quick and easy way to gun down enemy gang members. Even quicker if you reach Hitman level and are able to hold two at once. Even easier if your CJ still has two hands.
Tec 9
Not much difference between this and the Ingram Mac-10 a.k.a. the "Mini SMG". Probably the most noticeable difference between the two is their names. They're both spelled and pronounced differently.
Ingram Mac 10
You saw it in Liberty. You saw it in Vice. Now you're seeing it again. Sick of it yet? We sure are!
MP5
The mother of all sub-machine guns, the MP5 is carried by high-ranking law enforcement officials, and some down-and-dirty gang bangers. Take your pick.

Slot 6 - Assault Rifles
These rifles are a must-have in San Andreas. Absolutely great lock-on rifles for long-range battles. Excellent for use in gang wars, where you can pick off enemies before they have a chance to stop running like fools.
AK-47
You don't have to be a terrorist to use one of these. In fact, you don't even have to be a legal United States citizen.
Colt M4
Used by the armed forces, these rifles are extremely powerful and accurate. On the same mean as the AK-47, so choosing which to use is a matter of preference.
Slot 7 - Long Range Rifles
Any marksman will love to have one of these on hand, especially when on rooftops or inside high enclosures where you're safe from enemy fire.
Country Rifle
Classic deer hunting rifle, but it works with humans as well.
Sniper Rifle
The one rifle you can zoom in and out with, this one is sure to remain an inevitable part in the GTA series. Great for picking off cops, Ballas, or anybody else that gets in your way at a distance.

Slot 8 - Heavy Artillery
Only real men use the weapons in this catagory. This must be what Americans are looking for in Iraq but won't find because our president is an idiot.
Rocket Launcher
Another GTA classic. Good for shooting down helicopters, airplanes, and creating havoc from far away.
Flamethrower
Yet another classic, but with an added twist: fires can spread now! Yes by the year 1991, the world figured "why not make things flammable?" Just a light tap on the Circle button will create a small flame that will eventually engulf a rather large area.
Gattling Gun
Outlawed in many states, which is probably why the cops chase you if you fire this weapon. Used to chew through cars and torsos with ease.
Heat-Seeking Missile
Probably the most bad ass weapon available to you. Think of the classic rocket launcher, but add the ability for the rockets to lock onto heat sources, like police helicopters. Now doesn't that just define kick-assery?

Slot 9 - Thrown Weapons
Things you throw to make other things go boom.
Grenade
It's a grenade; like you don't already know what these things do.
Molotov Cocktail
An old-fashioned liquor bottle filled with fuel and topped with a lit rag. Can you guess what this does upon impact?
Satchel Explosives
Similar to the remote grenades from Vice City, only these look cooler and are way more effective. Used for blasting open safes, locked doors, and chest cavaties.
Tear Gas
Highly ignored in Vice City, simply because it was taken out of the PC version. Anyone caught in the gas cloud will suffer loss of health and armor. Apparently, this stuff can erode bullet proof vests, but not cause any skin damage.

Slot 10 - Hand-Held Items
Not really weapons; more like tools. Still very fun to use.
Fire Extinguisher
Used to extinguish fires. No, really, it has other uses.
Camera
The camera is back, and back for more than just one mission. You now need a camera at one point or another in the game to get 100% completion.
Spray Can
Spray over rival gang graffiti or rival gang faces. Doing either will probably attract the attention of a nearby cop, so check your surroundings first.

Slot 11 - Gifts
Impress your girlfriends with these gifts. You can also use them as melee weapons, but why ruin it?
Flowers
Flowers grow all over San Andreas. You can pick them and present them to your girl at the end of a date.
Mystery Items
See what other items you can find to give to your girlfriends and fill this slot

Slot 12 - Apparel Items
Stuff to wear. Why these are considered weapons to begin with, we have yet to understand.
Parachute
Are you currently falling off a high building? Switch to your parachute and press circle to deploy it. Don't have one? Well, then we'll see you on the ground!
Thermal Goggles
Good for seeing in dark places. They are also teh ub3r sex0r.
