Useful tips:

If you store your money in the ATM's it will remain safe and not be dropped on death. You will lose 40% of your money in your wallet when you die. The maximum you drop when you die is 100k.

Holding C will allow you to see your inventory, from there you can use a weapon that you've previously stored.
