How Baseball Bat and M16 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.
GTA III's only proper melee weapon — a wooden bat that downs pedestrians in two or three swings and turns car windows into shrapnel. Reliably looted from downed Mafia goons in Portland.
GTA III's top-tier assault rifle — fully auto, laser-accurate, and devastating into the endgame. Sold only at the Shoreside Vale Ammu-Nation and dropped by Cartel enforcers in the final missions.
