Change the size or color (or both) of each category heading. It'll stand out more. Also, put image tags around the picture/website thing.

Otherwise, very nice job

I can't. It said i was putting in more pictures than was allowed

[Sickness]

theres been millions of these topics

[yosi22]

Neat may come in handy

Good to know it will be of good use to someone

[Superilldude]

Good job I like the location part...

[Buttoneer]

Can I suggest adding some information about whether you can sprint with the weapon? For example, the chainsaw might be the 'ultimate' melee weapon but it really slows you down. If you want to run after someone the katana makes a much better job of it.

You also missed out the dildo as a melee weapon...

Otherwise good guide - the locations are very useful.

[dr zoidberg]

Does the AK47 not have the same range as the M4? I was certain it did. Otherwise, good guide. Maybe you could also add the number of rounds in each clip, where applicable.

[Mike_Toreno]

I think you did a great job, I never knew about the vibrator

[Alternative Child]

Someone want a karma?

Good job, none the less.

[Bryce.]

Good job, even tho this thread will be gone in a couple weeks because its so overdone..... ave a cooqie

Yeah nice topic although like people have stated, there has been plenty of these type of topics no offence.
I'm sure new members and people new to San Andreas will find the weapons guide useful though.

[51L3N7 4554551N]

Well at least they don't have to burrow through the messages to find it i guess. I just wanted it pinned so that it could be of use, thats all - 54

I understand what you mean...it is easier for people to just click on the the forum they want and to be able to easily find this topic if that's what they were looking for.
But it's upto a member of staff if they think it's worthy to be pinned...by the way shouldn't this topic be in the Gameplay section of the San Andreas forums?

[51L3N7 4554551N]

I would be very happy if a mod moved it there and pinned it or pinned it here. Its just i think it would be easier than going through to find other ones. - 54

[nitvsnggls]

molotov cocktails????where are they to be specific and can they be bought at ammunation?i really want dem

All you need is but ask:
