I have bought weapons in GTA Online, but they are not in the weapon wheel. How do I equip them?

I just started GTA Online and have bought multiple weapons from Ammu-Nation. After exiting the building, I checked my weapon wheel and none of the weapons I just bought were there. Is this a glitch? If not, how do I get them into my weapon wheel?

Are you sure you're trying left/right on the corresponding wheel slot ? Say you've bought a new melee weapon, go to the 6 o'clock (the bottom-est slot) and try the d-pad or arrows.

On Rockstar support forums there are some complaints about a bug that make your weapons disappear, while it appears to happen since some time (2013) and be somewhat common, there are reports of it 3 months ago.

There appear not to have a solution coming, but some players reported that in their case they did accidently dropped the weapon when selecting it, pressing Y or Triangle, and picking it up again would only reequips it for the rest of the session. So you should just need to be careful when selecting a weapon.
