If you see an entry portal to a shop, hit to go in. Here, you can buy weapons. Use / to select an item, / to select "Buy" or "Exit," and to buy/exit. If you choose to buy, use the D-pad to select which side you want the weapon on (you only have a limited number of sides to choose from) and to confirm the buy or to cancel.
