This FAQ is for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. You may not post this guide
anywhere unless I give you permission and you may not distribute this
information as your own no matter what. You may print it out though but you
cannot sell it. This will be my final update on the guide because my computer
is acting up. If I ever get it fixed, I will be working on all of my guides more
as well as this one. I hope you find it helpful. Thank you for reading.

Using Weapons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Minesweeper for this whole section.
==When On Foot
To fire a gun when on foot, press the CIRCLE button. Your weapon may have a
targeting mode you can use if you press R1. There are two kinds of aiming:
lock-on, and manual. Lock-on weapons lock onto what the game deems the most
dangerous target when you press the button. You can cycle through all the
available targets with R2 and L2. Manual aiming is when an aiming sight of
some kind comes up when you press R1. Use the D PAD or the LEFT STICK to aim
up, down, left or right. If you duck down with L3, you'll have greater
accuracy since you can control the gun's recoil better in this position.
==While In A Vehicle
To fire a gun while in a vehicle, you need a machine gun. These weapons are
indicated by yellow when you select them on your gameplay screen. They
are also surrounded by a yellow glow in the gaming field. Get inside
a vehicle, and then press R2 or L2 to look to the side. Press CIRCLE
to fire in the direction you're looking. If you're on a motorcycle, you
can shoot in front of you by pressing the CIRCLE button by itself. You can
also use a machine gun in a helicopter, however you must be in thecinematic
camera mode so it'll be near impossible to see what you're trying to hit.

Quick Ammo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section just lists quick ways to get ammo for guns.
Way #1
A good way to get ammo is to do Rampages. If you do, you will get left over
ammo in your weapons slot.
Way #2
Another good way is to rob the owners of Ammunation. All you have to do is
shoot at them and hop over the counter and grab their guns. Repeat at will.
Way #3
If you run over gang members like the Haitians or the Vercetti Gang for
example, they will leave ammo lying on the ground. Run them over so you won't
have to waste your own ammo but you can shoot them if you want.
Way #4
Killing cops will give you ammo but then you have to worry about a wanted
level. If you enter a cop car, you will automatically get Shotgun ammo. If
you don't already have a Shotgun and you enter the cop car, you will get a
Chrome Shotgun.
Way #5
Finding weapons will give you ammo. If you happen to find a weapon laying
somewhere, memorize the location. Now, get the ammo and save your game and
load it up again. Now, go back to that location and the ammo will be there
again. Repeat the process as desired. I know this is a long process but it
might turn out to be worth it.
