How Baseball Bat and Pistol 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.
Claude's starter sidearm — a 9mm semi-automatic with a tight crosshair and decent reload. Sold at every Liberty City Ammu-Nation from the opening missions and a fixture of Portland street fights.
