How Molotov Cocktail and Shotgun 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.
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.
