There the player can purchase [[Body Armor|armored vests]] and an assortment of [[Weapons|firearms]], from a [[pistol]] to a [[Minigun]]. Ammu-Nation also sells various other types of weapons, like [[Machete|machetes]] and [[RPG]]s. The name ''Ammu-Nation'' is a portmanteau of ''ammunition'' and ''nation'', which implies the store is patriotic. In many Ammu-Nation stores, battle flags of the Confederate States of America can be seen on the walls. Ammu-Nation was founded in [[1963]], and seems to be one of the most long-lasting and successful businesses in the GTA series, even owning a [[WCTR|radio station]] in [[San Andreas (3D Universe)|San Andreas]].

Weapons are bought by standing on the red marker inside Ammu-Nation stores. A menu to choose the weapon is displayed. The player can preview the weapon by selecting the weapon without buying it and the clerk will bring up the weapon to display. Ammu-Nations only open up after the mission ''[[Doberman]]''. All clerks dual wield dual [[Pistol]]s, and will start shooting at you when you shoot inside the store or aim your gun at him. Inside the Ammu-Nation stores are targets that look like [[Carl Johnson]] holding two Tec-9's.

Ammu-Nation radio commercials make it clear that the store is run with a right-wing paranoia philosophy, describing itself as the "store leading the fight against communism". The store also seems to promote the purchase of its products for illegal purposes, even suggesting they be used to kill one's mother-in-law if she is "being a bitch". There's also one in [[GTA: Vice City]] that mentions an anti-aircraft gun 'actually used when [[Australian-American War|we whooped the Australian's ass!]]'

*Ammu-Nation sells fully automatic weapons, though in real life are outlawed to sell if made after 1986 due to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearm_Owners_Protection_Act Hughes Amendment.] Also destructive devices are sold at the store which would too be illegal in a typical gun store at least.

As such, some of the weapons on the shelf were not manufactured during the game's timeline including the Barrett and M4A1, and also, most of the weapons would be unusual to find in a US Gun store, as most of them are European or Middle-Eastern manufactured, such as the Galil or AUG.

*Like 24/7, Ammu-Nation stores can be robbed, though it is a difficult method in GTA V. The player must equip a weapon before entering and push the doors open slightly and aim at the clerk.

“
Manufacturer of weapons - and reasons to own weapons, Ammu-Nation has zealously defended arms profiteering for over 50 years.
”
— Description at Bawsaq.com.

Ammu-Nation (BAWSAQ: AMU) is the standard and main gun shop in all Grand Theft Auto 3D Universe games, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

The player can purchase armored vests and an assortment of firearms at Ammu-Nation, from a pistol to a Minigun. Ammu-Nation also sells various other types of weapons, like machetes and RPGs. The name Ammu-Nation is a portmanteau of ammunition and nation, which implies the store is patriotic. In many Ammu-Nation stores, battle flags of the Confederate States of America can be seen on the walls. Ammu-Nation was founded in 1963, and seems to be one of the most long-lasting and successful businesses in the GTA series, even owning a radio station in San Andreas.

At the beginning of the game, Ammu-Nation stores have only weak weapons in stock. As the player progresses through the storyline, more powerful weapons are unlocked.

The store is notably absent in Grand Theft Auto IV and its episodes, explained by the mayor having strict gun control laws. According to Dimitri Rascalov, Ochoa closed the franchise and also tried also to shut down Ammu-Nation in other states of America. Instead, Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz, and Luis Lopez, can buy weaponry from Underground Gun Shops or from their friends Little Jacob, Terry Thorpe, and Armando Torres.

However, in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the store makes a return, but this time it is online. In Chinatown Wars, the player can also find, while driving around the city, many Ammu-Nation trucks carrying weapons and supplies. This trucks have the Ammu-Nation logo on their back and a red arrow above them. Once the player finds one of these trucks, he can hijack the vehicle and take it to the nearest safehouse to open it, and collect what is inside. Be aware that the truck's driver will be heavily armed.

Ammu-Nation has been brought back in Grand Theft Auto V with the return of San Andreas. Ammu-Nation stores are much more common and can be found all throughout the state. As of 2013, Ammu-Nation is selling many illegal military-grade weapons to the general public. The player can also purchase stocks from them in the Bawsaq.com website in GTA V.

Stores

Grand Theft Auto III

Weapons are bought by walking over a floating weapon pickup inside Ammu-Nation stores. When the player enters the store, the camera switches to a fixed position at the corner of the store until the player exits the store. The clerks carry Shotguns and will attack the player if the player is aggressive (i.e. the player shoots the clerk with any kind of firearm).

Ammu-Nation is featured in GTA III's official website, in the Portland section of the website. It includes an audio advertisement and a pop-up to Ammu-Nation's website.

Phil's Army Surplus is another arms store which sells heavy weaponry not found in Ammu-Nation stores.

Ammu-Nation also sponsors the TV show Liberty City Survivor.

  • Ammu-Nation seems to have connections with Mr. Black and his contract killing company, since during a mission in GTA Vice City, protagonist Tommy Vercetti is hired to kill a business man, steal a briefcase he's carrying and deliver it to the owner of an Ammu-Nation local in Downtown.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Weapons are bought by standing on the red marker inside Ammu-Nation stores. A menu to choose the weapon is displayed. The player can preview the weapon by selecting the weapon without buying it and the clerk will bring up the weapon to display. Ammu-Nations only open up after the mission Doberman. All clerks dual wield dual Pistols, and will start shooting at you when you shoot inside the store or aim your gun at him, and it is also impossible to perform a stealth kill if the knife is equipped. Inside the Ammu-Nation stores are targets that look like Carl Johnson holding two Tec-9's. Ammu-Nation owns the WCTR radio station in 1992.

  • There is an unused Ammu-Nation interior in San Andreas. It has two floors and can only be entered using certain cheats or with cheat devices. The store is functional if entered properly. Some mods may also bring the shop back into gameplay by making it enterable.
  • Of the mounted weapons behind the clerk, the more noticeable weapons are Tec-9's (purchasable), MAC-10's (used in other GTA III era games; unpurchasable in GTA San Andreas, however), Thompson Submachine Gun (also known as the 'Tommy Gun'; unpurchasable), the French-made FAMAS (a bullpup-styled assault rifle; unpurchasable), and several revolvers that appear to be various Smith & Wesson models of revolvers (unpurchasable).

The Ammu-Nation stores in GTA Liberty City Stories functions similar to GTA III. The player will buy the weapons by walking into the yellow marker. Just like in GTA III, the same fixed camera view returns which makes the players unable to use first person view weapons like Sniper Rifle or Rocket Launcher. Clerks carry shotguns and will attack the player if aimed at or the player fires a weapon inside the store.

Ammu-Nation is featured in GTA Liberty City Stories's official website in an e-mail under the name "Y2K is Coming!"

Shooting Ranges

Main article: Shooting Ranges

Shooting ranges can be found in some Ammu-Nations throughout the GTA III series and in GTA V. These places test your skill in handling your weapons.

Scratch Cards

In GTA Chinatown Wars, Ammu-Nation scratch cards can be purchased at various stores, and the player can win body armour or various weapons.

Clerks

Ammu-Nation's clerks differ from game to game.

  • GTA III: Sam Houser, GTA developer.
  • GTA Vice City: Sam Houser.
  • GTA San Andreas: A military-looking guy wearing an army-green shirt and has a mustache.
  • GTA Liberty City Stories: American guy, says the same thing as the GTA III clerk but in an American accent.
  • GTA Vice City Stories: Generic store clerk. Fat, balding, and wearing a brightly-colored polo shirt and matching glasses.
  • GTA V: Melvin works in the Sandy Shores branch and a ex-military looking man who is interested in gang life works in the branch closest to Franklin's starting safehouse, the rest are re-skins of these two.

Commercials

Ammu-Nation radio commercials make it clear that the store is run with a right-wing paranoia philosophy, describing itself as the "store leading the fight against communism". The store also seems to promote the purchase of its products for illegal purposes, even suggesting they be used to kill one's mother-in-law if she is "being a bitch". There's also one in GTA: Vice City that mentions an anti-aircraft gun 'actually used when we whooped the Australians' ass!'

In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, there's an Ammu-Nation radio commercial about Saturday Safety Fun With Guns with Derek the Dodo.

Trivia

General

  • Ammu-Nation has a commercial in every GTA III era game. It can be heard on Rockstar's website for GTA III, and on the radio for GTA Vice City onwards.
  • Ammu-Nation sells fully automatic weapons, though in real life are outlawed to sell if made after 1986 due to the Hughes Amendment. Also destructive devices are sold at the store which would too be illegal in a typical gun store at least.

GTA Vice City

  • Inside of the Ammu-Nation in Downtown Vice City in GTA Vice City, an easter egg with a poster of Ronald Reagan can be seen shooting a gun at Mikhail Gorbachev. The poster, however, is only able to be seen with use of rocket launcher glitch, as it is on a wall behind the outline of the shop.
  • In GTA Vice City and San Andreas, there are 2D textures on the wall of Ammu-Nation which depict unusable weapons, such as the AUG A1, FAMAS F1, Galil SAR, M1921 Thompson, Barrett M95, M4A1 SOPMOD, M1903 Springfield, AKS-74U and the Walther MPL. As such, some of the weapons on the shelf were not manufactured during the game's timeline including the Barrett and M4A1, and also, most of the weapons would be unusual to find in a US Gun store, as most of them are European or Middle-Eastern manufactured, such as the Galil or AUG.

GTA San Andreas

  • In GTA Vice City and San Andreas, there are 2D textures on the wall of Ammu-Nation which depict unusable weapons, such as the AUG A1, FAMAS F1, Galil SAR, M1921 Thompson, Barrett M95, M4A1 SOPMOD, M1903 Springfield, AKS-74U and the Walther MPL. As such, some of the weapons on the shelf were not manufactured during the game's timeline including the Barrett and M4A1, and also, most of the weapons would be unusual to find in a US Gun store, as most of them are European or Middle-Eastern manufactured, such as the Galil or AUG.
  • In San Andreas, music can be heard playing in any Ammu-Nation shop. This music is the Marines' Hymn.
  • In GTA San Andreas, the player will often hear the clerk telling Carl Johnson to not tell anyone where he got his guns/armor from. This is could mean Ammu-Nation's weapons are illegal in the state. 

GTA IV

  • During an alternate dialogue with Dimitri in the mission Do You Have Protection? Niko will mention hearing about the Big American Supermarket where you can find shopping carts full of AK-47s and flame throwers. It is possible that Ammu-Nation's fame was already overseas before Niko arrived to America.

GTA Chinatown Wars

GTA V

  • Like 24/7, Ammu-Nation stores can be robbed, though it is a difficult method in GTA V. The player must equip a weapon before entering and push the doors open slightly and aim at the clerk. The clerk will then pull out an Assault Shotgun. The player must next shoot him before he kills the player. This will usually give the player a wanted level. After that, the player has to run up to one of the two cash registers and shoot the money drawer. Money ranging from $60 to $300 will come out. This method may also be used for obtaining an Assault Shotgun and, if at an Ammu-Nation with a shooting range, a Combat Pistol. 
  • In GTA V, some of the clerks will engage in conversations with the protagonists when they enter in the Ammu-Nation.
    • The clerk in the Ammu-Nation of Pillbox Hill (Downtown Los Santos) will talk with Franklin when he is in the shop. The conversation will usually center around the clerk's jealousy of Franklin's involvement in the gang life. This batch of conversations will be triggered after completing the mission "The Long Stretch".
    • The clerk in the Ammu-Nation of Sandy Shores will talk with Trevor when he is in the shop. Their conversations normally consist of Trevor insulting or degrading the clerk, or the clerk begging Trevor to behave himself in the Ammu-Nation store.
  • Humorously, the Ammu-Nation stores in GTA V sell cases of beer as well as firearms.
  • Sometimes the Ammu-Nation clerks in GTA V will say the store used to be independent until Ammu-Nation took over.
  • In GTA V, there will be several products in the Ammu-Nation stores that are unavailable for purchase. These include machetes, alcohol, ear protectors and more.
  • Sometimes the Ammu-Nation clerk in GTA V will state how he loves the TV show Republican Space Rangers.
  • In GTA V, an Ammu-Nation radio commercial mentions Predator drones, becoming the first time a real-life vehicle is mentioned in the GTA series.
  • In GTA V, if the Ammu-Nation clerk becomes provoked, whether it be by the player or something else, and cops are dispatched, the clerk and police officers will began firing at each other, despite the fact the clerk was only using self-defense from a robbery. This is possibly due to the anti-government propaganda inside Ammu-Nation.
  • In GTA V, the Ammu-Nation outlets in Los Santos with shooting ranges play songs from Channel X, other Ammu-Nation outlets in Los Santos play songs from Los Santos Rock Radio, and the outlets in Blaine County play songs from Rebel Radio.
  • In GTA V, the clerk owns a shotgun, as when he is threatened he will pull out an Assault Shotgun.
  • Sometimes when talking to Franklin, the clerk will mention how [he] "I barely exist outside this store." This could be a reference of how his character model is never seen out side of Ammu-Nation.
  • As of Patch 1.30, Ammu Nation cannot be accessed during Contact Missions

Bugs and Glitches

Infinite Ammunition Glitch:

There is an interesting glitch in GTA: San Andreas. If you go to any Ammu-Nation with shooting range, you can double your ammo until it becomes infinite.

  • 1. Go to any Ammu-Nation with shooting range.
  • 2. Buy a weapon, that shares ammunition with either pistol, micro-SMG, shotgun or AK-47, but is NOT the gun itself, otherwise its ammunition will be depleted.
  • 3. Go to the Shooting Range and leave it directly before starting the challenge. If you see you've doubled your ammo. For example, if you had 50 Bullets, now you have 100.
  • 4. You can keep doing this, until your ammo becomes unlimited.
