Central Guns is a location in L.A. Noire. It is first seen in the case Upon Reflection, having had the owner sell a Smith & Wesson Model 27 to Errol Schroeder.
A Buick Eight Convertible can be found parked to the right of the shop in the Upon Reflection case.
The store is located on 367 South Central Avenue.
Layout[]
The store's outside has a large sign that says "CENTRAL GUNS (Target Sign) WE SELL AMMO! LEARN TO SHOOT", with a light up sign shaped like a gun with the words behind it saying "SHOOTING GALLERY OPEN 24HRS". The building itself is grey, attached to a Liquor store. There is open glass, with "Guns" and Ammo" written on a green bar above one side and "Sporting Goods" on the other.
The inside is dim-lit, with glass cases displaying guns and ammo, hunting equipment on the walls including vests and protective gear, even displays some wooden ducks on the gun case where the store owner stands.
Events of L.A. Noire[]
Scooter Peyton is murdered with a Smith & Wesson Model 27, that was ordered from here by Errol Schroeder on February 4th, 1946. Officers Cole Phelps and Ralph Dunn enter this store, speaking with the owner and flip through the order book to find his name. The owner also tells them that gun isn't carried in the store, that because of its make it has to be specifically ordered.
Customers[]
The store has a Smith & Wesson order book featuring first and last names, an address for the customer, the make and model, the order date, and the serial number. This book is used for specially made guns manufactured by Smith & Wesson that aren't carried normally in the store, such as the Smith & Wesson Model 27 which according to the owner's false brag, "can take down a rhino".
