Walkthrough:

Slot 9 - Heavy Weapons

M249: This is a beefy, army-style machine gun that fires a 7.62 mm round. It's got a decent rate of fire and is powerful enough to take down even the toughest opponents pretty quickly.
Flamethrower: Forget Molotovs; this bad boy lets you aim your flames directly at enemies. It's fantastic for clearing out large groups fast and even works well against the Rhino tank. Just a heads-up, you'll move a bit slower while carrying it.
Rocket Launcher (RPG-7): This is the ultimate destruction tool. When you've got this, enemies will definitely think twice. Like the Flamethrower, you'll run slower with it. It appears after completing the mission 'Turn On, Tune In, Bug Out'. You can grab it for $9,000 at Ocean Beach Ammu-Nation, or for $6,750 after finishing Phil's Shooting Range.
Mini-Gun: This is arguably the most powerful non-explosive weapon in the game. It's so powerful that it's the only weapon you absolutely cannot run with. It becomes available after the 'Farewell to Arms' mission. You'll find it at North Point Mall Ammu-Nation for a hefty $15,000, or for $11,250 after completing Phil's Shooting Range.

Slot 10 - Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifle: This rifle fires one shot at a time and takes a bit to reload, but it's incredibly effective for picking off targets from a distance. It's essentially a civilian version of the M24 or M40. It unlocks after the 'From Zero to Hero' mission. Ocean Beach Ammu-Nation sells it for $6,000, while Phil's Shooting Range offers it for $4,500 once completed.
Laser Sniper: This is the top-tier sniper rifle. It features a laser scope, rapid fire capability, and can fire multiple rounds. It also unlocks after 'From Zero to Hero'. You can buy it at North Point Mall Ammu-Nation for $8,000, or for $6,000 after beating Phil's Shooting Range.

Tips

Don't underestimate the power of these weapons, especially in defense or against heavily armored targets.
The Rocket Launcher and Mini-Gun will slow you down, so be mindful of your positioning and don't get caught out in the open.
Sniper rifles are perfect for taking out key targets before they even know you're there, especially during missions where you need to eliminate specific threats from afar.
