When choosing a weapon to clear a busy street corner, destroy a police roadblock, or generally create mayhem and carnage, the best choice is the minigun. A minigun is a multibarreled machine gun that can lay down a massive amount of bullets—as high as 4,000 rounds per minute. Proving that GE makes more items than just lightbulbs, the minigun was designed to provide cover fire against insurgents for helicopter crews in Vietnam, all branches of the armed services quickly adopted the weapon. The presence of Fort Baxter could explain why these weapons have started to pop up around Vice City—the combination of the Army's low pay and the presence of Vice City's criminal element is the perfect incubator for the black market.
RPG
What better weapon to take out tightly grouped enemies or vehicles than the RPG? The Rocket Propelled Grenade is a lightweight, cheap, and brutally effective direct fire weapon. Composed of an unguided warhead and crude targeting mechanism, RPG rounds are perfectly suited for taking out vehicles, storefronts, enemies throughout Vice City. Under the proper circumstances, tanks and helicopters could be destroyed. A staple to the streets of Vie City, this shoulder-fired rocket was introduced to most Americans as the weapon of choice for a group of ragtag guerilla fighters repelling the Soviet Army in Red Dawn. Wolverines!
AK47
The brainchild of Mikhail Kalshnikov, the AK47 has become by far the most popular assault weapon in the world, and arguably the Soviet Union's greatest and most successful import over the last half century. Designed at the end of WWII as a weapon suited for the type of combat—close quarter urban battles and pitched combat in tight natural confines such as forests, the AK47 is a cheap, dependable weapon. It can lay down a steady rate of fire, as noted by the distinctive sound the AK makes when firing. To the concern of Vice City police forces, the AK47 is readily available at Ammu-Nations across the city.
Python
The Python is a double action, large frame handgun that believes in the creed one shot, one kill. Firing powerful .357 rounds, the Python has a serious reputation for delivering lethal firepower to the hands of its owners. Late models include a variety of sights, including laser scopes and telescopic, but if you can manage to hit your target anywhere in the body, they likely are not getting up.
