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