WandererNiko Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 What's up everyone. The other day a thought came to my mind, maybe you guys already realized about it. Do you think there is a weapon designed for each character in GTA IV and the episodes? I mean, take in example the assault rifles, we have the AK-47, previously thought to be a Zastava M70. It's possible that Niko is the one supposed to equip an AK as a weapon of preference, since Niko is from Eastern Europe, and the AK has been used in many wars and conflicts that happened in the zone. We have the Advanced MG, and maybe Johnny is the one supposed to equip it, he is from Alderney (U.S.) and the M249 is fabricated by FNH USA, a company from United States, besides, it has been carried by U.S. Army to several wars in the Middle East. Or the M4A1, the famous Carbine, it could be the preference of Luis, why? Because it has been used in several situations in Latin America, such as conflicts in Colombia and Mexico. If we take a look carefully, we'll recognize three or four weapons of each type, four pistols, four SMGs , three Assault Rifles, four Sniper Rifles, four explosives, etcetera. Could we say that each protag. has his "own" weapon? Example: Molotov: Niko. Pipe bomb: Johnny. Sticky bomb: Johnny? It was used by UK and Canada in WW2... so, Johnny? Grenades: Niko, Johnny and Luis? What do you guys think? Can you recognize other guns "made" for a protagonist in particular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA-Biker Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I guess AK47 and Molotovs could be Niko´s weapons of choice.I think Johnny would prefer weapons that can be used from a bike,something like micro SMG,sawed off shotgun or handguns.Luis could have the golden Uzi as a weapon of choice since his game is all about luxury,glamour,wealth and similar stuff.

Onett Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I always thought Johnny would love the Automatic 9mm. Jeansowaty, Sussus Amongus, theGTAking101 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payne Killer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Niko: AK-47, Molotov, and Glock Johnny: Auto 9mm, Sawn Off, and the Striker Luis: Gold Uzi, and .44 Pistol. theGTAking101 and matajuegos01 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Montana Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think Niko's weapon of choice would be a sniper rifle, as he is a hired gun, and most people would associate hired guns with sniper rifles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universetwisters Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I don't quite get the logic in the OP. You're supposed to like weapons from your own county? I like Walthers. Does that mean I'm German? No. Rabadon, matajuegos01, Apex and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavle Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 For Niko I think the weapon that was designed for him would be the Zastava M70 that was cut. But the AK-47 suits him well. For Luis it would be the .44 Pistol and for Johnny it would be the sawed-off shotgun. EM_JAY_86 and WandererNiko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean I'm German? No. Actually, in that case I wouldn't say that "Luis' weapon" is M4A1. I tried to associate some weapons with the history and social condition of the protagonists, take in mind where Niko used to live, be it in Broker or Yugoslavia, or the patriotism for United States shown sometimes by Johnny. I find it great to share opinions, in that case, would you say that another weapon "belongs" to another character? Onett 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that weapons could "belong" to a character, but I don't think that their cultural background has anything to do with it. Did Niko grow up around AK-esque weapons? Sure, but would he keep using the same old gun or move on to something better when the moment is opportune? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeansowaty Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm the only one who thinks the Desert Eagle fits Niko the best apart from that, the AK-47, Pump Shotgun and Micro Uzi suit him very well too. WandererNiko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, anyone could say that Niko could prefer an M4A1, since it's an Army weapon, and Niko would prefer a different or a better quality of a gun now that he lives in U.S.A., in a hard and complex criminal circle. That's the magic of debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the magic of debate. So that throws your argument of them using only weapons that fit their cultural backgrounds. Hell, maybe none of them like firearms. Maybe they just prefer baseball bats.

WandererNiko Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) Cut quote Not really, I just tried to somehow associate the weapons to each one of the characters. We could take many references, such as the cultural background, their personality shown in-game, or their history, etcetera. Understand what I mean?

universetwisters Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes, but just because Niko grew up in eastern europe doesn't mean he automatically likes the AK. matajuegos01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, would you say that he prefers another wep.? As I said before, I only think he prefers the best weapon available to him, like how he eventually moves up to high end stuff as the game progresses. He gets the better weapons once the moment is opportune. LeeH1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddyoung Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think Niko has the AK-47 (even though I used the M-4) and the Molotov. Johnny has the Pipe Bomb and the sawn off shotgun. Luis has the Gold and Assault SMG, the Magnum.44 and the Automatic Shotgun. WandererNiko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
