How Fist and Shotgun 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.

A pump-action 12 gauge that dominates close-range gunfights — the workhorse shotgun of Liberty City. Stocked at every Ammu-Nation from mid-Portland onward and a fixture of Mafia missions.
