Double Ammo Trick

There are three drive-by missions to complete in Liberty City Stories, two in Portland and one in Shoreside Vale. The weapons used in each mission are slightly different, but it's their type that matters for this trick.

The Portland missions use a submachine gun, so this trick will double the ammo of whichever weapon you have in that category. The Shoreside Vale mission uses a heavy weapon, so it'll double ammo for your M60, Flamethrower or Rocket Launcher.

Step 1: Equip A Weapon

Ensure you have a weapon in the slot you wish to double the ammo. If playing the Portland drive-by missions, ensure you have a sub-machine gun (yellow pickup). If playing the Shoreside Vale mission, ensure you have a heavy weapon (purple pickup).

Step 2: Start A Drive-By Mission

Find one of the starting bikes for the drive-by missions and get on. The mission will then start and you'll see a short intro. The game assigns you a different weapon with infinite ammo for these missions, but you'll still have it in your inventory which is where the ammo seemingly gets doubled.

Step 3: Kill Your Driver

Immediately after starting the mission, shoot your driver until he dies. He won't take too many bullets, but once he dies you'll fail the mission and the game will respawn you back where you started when you got on the bike.

Step 4: Double Ammo & Repeat

Once you respawn, scroll through your weapons and find the one in the same category, either your SMG or Heavy weapon depending on the mission you did. You'll notice that it now has twice as much ammo as before. Each time you do this trick it'll double, eventually giving you more ammo than you can use! See images below for a before and after.
