How do you buy weapons and ammo in GTA 6?

The gun shop is one piece of GTA 6’s economy Rockstar has shown outright, and it showed it as an advert. Trailer 2 cuts to a television commercial for Phil’s Ammu-Nation, and behind the presenter hangs a wall of guns. Add the ammunition counter the Extended Look draws beside a gun and you have the outline of a system. The prices, the stock and the rules are the part still missing.

What the material shows

At 2:11 in Trailer 2 the picture is a commercial on a screen, and behind the counter runs a white slat wall with at least fourteen long guns hung horizontally, stacked four high: a column of AR-pattern carbines, three rifles with orange wooden furniture above a darker fourth, at least two shotguns with tube magazines, and a long-barrelled weapon an assistant in a red cap holds up. The presenter’s vest reads PHIL’S, which gives the branch its page, and the AMMU-NATION sign above the wall gives the chain its own. Individual models cannot be named at that resolution; the wall says the shop stocks long guns by the dozen and hangs them in the open behind the counter, which not every game in the series has done: in Chinatown Wars the chain was a website.

In the frames where the HUD shows a gun, it shows its ammunition too. On the weapon wheel at 17:50 the pistol carries 20 in white beside 80 in grey, a magazine and a reserve; inside the jewellery store at 18:01 the pistol reads 13 and 65. Whether ammunition is bought over that counter, found, or looted from the people you shoot is not in the frames. The material also has a scored shooting range in a mock village, with twelve targets and a clock; whether it belongs to a store is not something the frame says.

Guns are also carried in the open. At 0:20 of the Launch Trailer the passenger of a green convertible holds a compact machine pistol over the door. The frame names neither the gun nor where it was bought.

What nobody knows

• What any weapon or box of ammunition costs.
• Whether weapons are bought, found, looted or all three, and whether the shop is the only place to buy ammunition.
• Whether attachments are sold. Some weapon pages on this site show a compensator or a suppressor fitted in the frame; where they came from is not shown.
• Whether body armour is sold, and in what form.
• How many stores there are, and whether the range is part of one.

How Grand Theft Auto V did it

This is the reference, not a prediction. In Grand Theft Auto V, Ammu-Nation sold firearms from pistols up to a minigun, body armour in tiers from super light to super heavy, and modifications for most weapons: silencers, flashlights, extended magazines and tints. Most guns came with three magazines in reserve. Some branches had a shooting range that tested your handling and paid a small sum for passing; the GTA Wiki lists eleven stores across the state. That is the shape the commercial in Trailer 2 is playing on.

What this page becomes on launch day

From 19 November 2026 this guide is rewritten from the release build: the price of every weapon and ammunition type, where each is sold, what the attachments and armour are and where the stores stand, each with the date it was checked. Until then the short answer at the top stands.
