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