ElectroGun
GTA 2's electrical weapon, and the series' first energy weapon by nearly two decades. It fires an arc that can jump between targets. No source states what kind of weapon it is; the research base describes what it is based on and how it behaves, neither of which is a classification.
- Appears in
- GTA 2
- Handguns1 game2006
Equalizer
Vice City Stories' heavy sidearm, and one of the few weapons in the series given an editorial name rather than a descriptive or a real one.
- Appears in
- GTA: Vice City Stories
- Shotguns1 game2009
Explosive Shotgun
The Ballad of Gay Tony's automatic shotgun, firing rounds that detonate on impact — the first explosive shotgun in the series and, so far, the only one under this name.

Melee1 game2004Flowers
A gift item in San Andreas, given to a girlfriend — and, this being Grand Theft Auto, swung at people as well.
- Appears in

Gaff Hook
A boat hook, and one of the few melee weapons the series has drawn from a working trade rather than a sport or a kitchen.
