FiveM Weapon List

How weapon spawn names work in FiveM

A weapon spawn name is the internal name of the weapon in the game files, always prefixed with weapon_: weapon_pistol, weapon_carbinerifle, weapon_bat. Scripts hash it with joaat("weapon_pistol") and hand the hash to natives like GiveWeaponToPed, RemoveWeaponFromPed or SetCurrentPedWeapon. Admin menus expose the same names, and inventory systems like ox_inventory use them as item identifiers, which is why this list doubles as an item reference for framework servers.

Ammo lives in pools shared between weapons: every handgun draws from the pistol pool, SMGs from the smg pool, and so on. The ammo column below shows each weapon's pool, so you know weapon_pistol ammo also feeds weapon_combatpistol. Like vehicles, weapons from recent DLCs only exist on matching game builds; the update column tells you the minimum build.

Lua snippets: give weapons

The dev utility version, a /weapon command that validates the name before giving it. Keep it behind admin permissions on a live server.

-- client.lua | /weapon <spawn name>, dev utility command
RegisterCommand("weapon", function(_, args)
    local name = args[1]
    if not name then return end

    local hash = joaat(name)
    if not IsWeaponValid(hash) then
        print(("^1Unknown weapon: %s^0"):format(name))
        return
    end

    GiveWeaponToPed(PlayerPedId(), hash, 250, false, true) -- 250 ammo, equip now
end, false)

Job scripts define loadouts in config so server owners can tune them without touching logic: clear the ped, then give each entry from the table.

-- config.lua + client.lua | job loadout from a config table
Config.PoliceLoadout = {
    { name = "weapon_pistol",       ammo = 60  },
    { name = "weapon_stungun",      ammo = 5   },
    { name = "weapon_nightstick",   ammo = 0   },
    { name = "weapon_flashlight",   ammo = 0   },
}

function GiveLoadout(ped)
    RemoveAllPedWeapons(ped, true)
    for _, w in ipairs(Config.PoliceLoadout) do
        GiveWeaponToPed(ped, joaat(w.name), w.ammo, false, false)
    end
end

Scripts that put this list to work

If weapons on your server are gameplay rather than admin commands, these Var FiveM scripts consume spawn names from config or database. Var-Coins-Shop sells weapons and weapon skins for Tebex-topped coins, in native mode or as inventory items, Var-PaintBall arms its arenas with a custom paintball weapon and a fully configurable arsenal for Gun Game mode, and Var-Property stores weapons in tiered property safes alongside cash and items. All of them work on ESX and QBCore.
