How Flamethrower and Shotgun stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.
A back-mounted napalm sprayer with a continuous stream of flame — devastating against gang clusters but useless against vehicles. Required reading for several Yakuza and Cartel missions in Shoreside Vale.
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.
