Ok now that’s outta the way  onto the introduction…
----------------------------------------
Introduction
----------------------------------------
Hey my “cyber name” is SausageRollShady2003 (bo_selecta). I have never
attempted any type of guide, walkthrough or FAQ before and yeah go ahead
and laugh at the  title art (as if you need telling ) it’s  my first attempt
at that as well. I haven’t gone way out on detail or anything  I just want
to provide an informative database and  hopefully humorous  view at the
fatal weapons, fly cars, fast choppers, cool planes, and the (sometimes)
glamorous boats of GTA Vice City. Oh yeah and there will be some references
some Americans may not understand as being British there may be parts of my
culture that are different that goes to all non Brits reading this guide also.
Now it’s onto what the guide is for, does and doesn’t do…
-------------------------------------------------
What this guide is for
-------------------------------------------------
This guide is here to give you a look at the two major elements in the crime empire
of Florida that is Vice City. I mean, who doesn’t like to turn into a Bruce Willis
or Arnold S (you know who I mean I just can’t spell it…) or Mel Gibson and be the hero
with a gun to blow a hole straight through the centre of the earth. And name me one person
who doesn’t like to pull up in a low gleaming sports car. This guide is for just checking
up on a view on the weapon car and I might even  add in the odd location parking spawn.
Also it gives an unbiased view on Is it cool?, The speed, the cornering and the handling
and much more for vehicles plus for weapons a location guide and who to kill for one. Plus
an overall comment for both weapons and vehicles and a features/special notes
section for vehicles if the vehicle has any.
Now onto what this guide does…
------------------------------------------------
What this guide does
------------------------------------------------
On a different subject by now you probably have read this much and skipped onto one of the
databases but it will be helpful if you read this and the next section to avoid
disappointment. And also here for you that are still hooked to my writing
I’ll carry on anyway…
This guide:
Gives a personal view on all the cars, boats, choppers, planes and
weapons of Vice City
Adds the occasional parking spot or weapon spawn  or location
for the vehicles and weapons
Gives you an intro to the type of weapon and type of vehicle.
Gives you uses for the weapon or vehicle
Gives missions where the weapon/vehicle is involved
Tells you any special features or notes about  the weapon/
vehicle
Gives an FAQ on vehicles and weapons
Ok now onto what this guide doesn’t do…
------------------------------------------------
What this guide doesn’t do
------------------------------------------------
Ok this guide does a lot for your gaming experience but unfortunately there
are some things it  doesn’t do or in some cases thankfully doesn‘t do…
Give top speeds and such information
Yatter on
Ok it’s time for the guide to how I rate the weapons and vehicles…
----------------------------------------------
Weapons and Vehicles Ratings Guide
----------------------------------------------
Ok I have done a little mini section for all the weapons and vehicles in the game and
rated them like this…:
Vehicles
Coolness : This describes whether it’s cool whether you’d  look good in it for
example if I’m rating the Infernus its gonna be showered with praise but if I
was rating a Faggio it’s be a lot different
Speed : Well it’s kinda obvious isn’t it? How fast this thing is so again the Infernus
would be drooled on but this can’t be said for the Rhino Tank…
Handling: Whether or not you can keep good control over it and how easy it is to drive.
So the Rhino may be a bit on the slow side but due to that it is easy to drive. Whereas
as much fun as it is to drive the Sanchez Dirtbike if it gets to fast can fly out of
control
easily and cause major hurt. But there are some exceptions such as  the Banshee which
flies down the highways but can still be driven smoothly
Cornering : On a getaway? Tight corner coming up? Your worst nightmare with a three star
wanted level on your back is a crash because your car couldn’t take a certain corner…The
ability
to take a corner is important when choosing your car so I tell you what to pick when it
comes
to making a swift getaway.
Colours : If it comes in a certain colour I’ll tell ya it but most cars come in many
colours
Description : What it looks like….
Specific locations : I’ll tell you parking locations and general places where you’ll
find the car roaming around. This is helpful if you need to find a car for the
Sunshine Auto’s boostings lists.
Special Features/Odd Jobs (see Odd Job cars): What does it do that makes it unique or
maybe
just a general um…something about it/What odd job it triggers.
Comment : My personal  view put into a short sweet sentence.
For weapons
Coolness : First a colt 45  then you get the chainsaw….get the picture…
Is it common? If it’s a colt 45 its all over the place if it’s a rocket launcher
that changes somewhat….
Usual Purpose : What it would do in a non Vice City world…like a golf club would be
used to play golf but in Vice City you’re more likely to give someone brain damage…
Location :  Some nice locations for them where after a certain amount of time (I.e
after a mission is passed) you can go back and get them again.
Who carries them : A basic overview of who’s got them
Kill Rate : Another kind of obvious one e.g A colt 45 you could blast rounds at a
strong thug  until its empty whereas take out a flamethrower and depending on range
things can be a whole lot different….
Comment : Just like for the Vehicle comment except for the weapon
Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for …the databases….
-------------------------------------
Weapons of Vice City Intro
-------------------------------------
Ah  weapons the King of Crime..there is a huge variety of weapons  available to
use in Vice City all of them can kill some of them instantly (even tear gas if
you stand in it for too long) others take a few of whatever they have be it grenades,
bottle bombs, pistols, flamethrowers, machine guns or even your own hands there’s
something to kill everyone even yourself (no horrors of horrors you can get hurt
in this game) anyway onto those weapons…
NOTE : Psy II has created a great weapons guide.
