GTA IV's weapon set uses generic names and a compact category structure. You can buy, pick up, or receive weapons as the Story Mode opens new parts of Liberty City.

Buy weapons through the available shops and contacts, then watch your ammo before starting a long mission chain. Some weapons are easier to obtain from a mission or enemy than from a shop, so the category is more useful than treating every entry as a simple store item.
FAQ
Do cheats disable achievements?
Some cheats can temporarily block particular achievements or trophies on the active save. Save before experimenting and reload a clean save when you want to preserve achievement progress.
Are the weapon names real-world model names?
GTA IV generally uses generic in-game names rather than the real-world model names players may associate with the weapons.
Are episodic weapons included?
No. The core weapon scope is GTA IV. The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony have their own weapon sets and will be handled separately.
