GTA Online’s new weapon shop is essentially an ice cream van that flogs railguns
You know that bit in The Matrix where Neo says he needs lots of guns, and racks of them pop out of nowhere? Well, Grand Theft Auto Online’s latest addition is the Gun Van, and it’s going for a similar vibe. You can flag down the entrepreneurial van driver to buy pieces from a weekly rotating selection of what Rockstar calls “top-of-the-line weapons, ammunition, and armor”. It’s pretty much just the GTA equivalent of an ice cream truck, but for guns. Witness a short snippet of the Gun Van in action below.
GTA Online has a Gun Van now, and the Gun Van is selling a railgun

Watch as rampaging leopard pounces on van during attack that left 13 people in hospital
THIS is the shocking moment a wild leopard took a swipe at a van following a ferocious rampage through a city that saw 13 people injured.
Local residents were rushed to hospital with serious injuries from the big cat attack in Jorhat, north east India.

The horrifying moment the big cat latches onto the van[/caption]
Dramatic footage showed the beast emerging from a compound and leaping over a barbed wire fence.
Then, in a split second of rampage, it launches onto a passing vehicle and tears part of it off.
The spotted carnivore then runs off into the streets.
The moment was captured by another driver on the street.
The leopard attacked at least 13 people, which included a forest guard and a mother and her two daughters.
Ranjit Konwar, a regional forest officer, said it was lucky there was no fatalities.
He said: “Some residents had a close shave as the leopard was roaming in their courtyards.
“Many of the injured were bitten and needed hospitalisation but they seem to be out of danger now.”
The animal was captured and tranquillised after a two-day search.
It is under further examination before it will be released into Kaziranga National Park.
While it is unknown what sparked the rampage in northern India, officials said leopards typically do not attack humans without provocation.
However, big cat attacks have become more common in the region as the need to house a growing population has encroached on animal habitat areas.
In 2021 alone, 500 people and 100 elephants were killed in human-animal conflicts.
India’s Minister of Environment Bhupendra Yadav blamed the fatalities on “competition for resources”.
The city of Mumbai, which has a historic leopard population, has also seen a spike in attacks on humans.
In July, a young girl was mauled to death by a leopard in southern India.
Last year, some of the worst leopard attacks were recorded as pouncing beasts ripped off victims’ scalps and tore open bodies in horror ambushes.

Raymond van Barneveld cheered to victory by fiancée Julia after rising from sick bed to beat Ryan Meikle
POORLY Raymond van Barneveld peppered the doubles bed after rising from his sick bed – and his hopes have not gone down the pan.
Barney, 55, had a horrible bout of food poisoning on Monday night after visiting a Central London Chinese restaurant and there were doubts about his condition ahead of his 30th world darts championship.

Darts legend Van Barneveld says he’s happier than ever thanks to Julia[/caption]
But the No 32 seed – watched on by fiancée Julia Evans – managed to avoid being booted out of the second round at Ally Pally with a 3-1 victory over qualified barber Ryan Meikle.
It is the first time in FIVE YEARS that he has made it to the last 32 of a tournament he last won in 2007.
The former Dutch postie has now set up a blockbuster third-round tie with world No.1 Gerwyn Price after Christmas and the Barney Army will be in strong voice for that one.
It will bring back memories of their tussles at last month’s Grand Slam of Darts, which saw Van Barneveld twice emerge as the winner.
Van Barneveld said: “Ryan never stopped playing. In the first set, I thought when does this guy stop hitting his double 20s? An awesome player.
“Wow, what a great player, All credit to him. I am so happy. I had to work hard.
“I went to a Chinese restaurant in Piccadilly Circus and the whole day I was in bed with food poisoning, me and my manager.
“I didn’t have a good practice. I was very tired.

“I had worked so hard the whole year and then suddenly we get this.
“You never know what you will get in the prawn crackers.
“My whole stomach had gone. This had been a nightmare. If I managed to play, I am already happy. To play like this, wow, this was a fight against myself, I had to show willpower.
“Julia was emotional, she knew what I had to go through. We were all today in bed.
“I am playing well, I believe in myself. I have a week to prepare, with pills and to relax. I love this game. I didn’t feel happy when I retired.”
