Underground Gun Shops

==Description == Since the GTA IV era, Ammunation has disappeared from the game. This was due to wn on weapons in the city by the mayor, just like the current New York. A well as buying guns from the back of friends cars, GTA IV introduced underground gun shops, a set of illegal arms dealers which replace Ammunation. Upon entering the shops, weapons are found placed on tables around the shop, and a small shooting range is found at the entrance, however if you shoot at the target the manager will attack you and you might receive a wanted level as you usually would for firearm discharge. In Grand Theft Auto IV some pedestrians are found at the entrance acting casually, who are actually disguised guards who will defend the shop if you attack the manager. Also you can’t enter the shops with a wanted level. On arrival at the door, you will find it won’t open, and a message will come up telling you to first lose your wanted level.

==Locations == There is one underground store located in each of the three main parts of the GTA IV setting. The first one is on the corner of Dillon St and Montauk Ave in Downtown Broker, and appeared in the mission Do You Have Protection? The entrance is down an alleyway. Another is in Chinatown, Algonquin. It is on Bismarck Ave, across the road from Cavity Lane. The entrance is down a small set of stairs, and the guard is found usually to the right of them. The manager here is a stereotypical Chinese retailer. There is also one out of Liberty City, in Alderney, and the manager bears resemblance to the first one in Broker. This one is found at the corner of Odhner Ave and Traeger Road, just west of the Plumbers skyway. It is on the same block as a pay and spray, and across the road from where the phone is to which Niko answers to receive the assassin missions. The entrance is up some stairs on an alleyway that passes by, which leads to a small yard behind the shop. This is where Patrick Mcreary and Niko Bellic changed vehicles during the kidnapping of xxxx, in the mission Tunnel of Death.

==Weapons == To purchase weapons you have to walk up to the table and view them. When doing this, the protagonist picks up the weapon and examines it, reloading and viewing them. The following is a list of weapons purchasable from the underground gun shops and their prices (buying ammo for a weapon is cheaper than when you first buy the weapon, unlike previous GTA games):

Trivia
 * Whilst the city has had a crackdown on weapons, and Ammunation had closed down, it still appears in GTA Chinatown Wars.
 * Every time you buy a weapon, the manager  always congratulates you on choice, or advertises for the weapon.
 * The shops contain a dark, misty environment, and has many posters on the walls.
 * Every time you leave or enter a store, either the protagonist or the manager greets or farewells the other.
