Fun Fact: Anyone that played San Andreas when it came out for the first Xbox system might remember that the White and Black buttons on the Xbox Controller were how you changed weapons. This has, of course, been changed since those buttons no longer exist for the newer systems. They have been reassigned to the Right Bumper and Left Bumper buttons, which didn’t exist on the original Xbox controller!

That’s all there is to know about how to change weapons in GTA San Andreas!
