WEAP is a section in the item definition file in Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories, and GTA IV. It is used to define weapon objects. In GTA III weapon objects are defined inside the OBJS section, so this section can be seen as an extension of that section. Additional weapon information are defined inside the weapon.dat file.
