Ammu-Nation

Some players are willing to sacrifice their comfort for the sake of immersion and thus they go to the most popular gun store in the Grand Theft Auto series, Ammu-Nation. Its main area of expertise is providing players with armor and a variety of weapons, including pistols and a Minigun, in exchange for cash.

Additionally, it sells a wide range of additional weapons, including machetes, RPGs, and ammunition. Ammu-Nation stores in Grand Theft Auto 5 often offer only weak weapons. However, more potent options become available as players advance through the storyline.

Except for the stun gun, grenade launcher, and minigun, the majority of weaponry that is purchased from Ammu-Nation also comes with three extra magazines. To replenish health, vending machines may be found inside of a number of such stores as well.

Surprisingly, there are a number of items in the Ammu-Nation that cannot be purchased; these include alcohol, earplugs, and other accessories.
