How Fist and Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.

Claude's default unarmed strike — a quick straight punch with no flair, used the moment you holster every other weapon. The starting point for every brawl in 2001 Liberty City.

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.
