How Baseball Bat and Molotov Cocktail 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.

A petrol-filled bottle that bursts into a pool of fire on impact — perfect for area denial and burning down parked Mafia cars. Stocked at Ammu-Nation early in the story and dropped during several Portland setups.
