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

An unguided RPG that obliterates vehicles, helicopters, and groups of enemies in one shot — the franchise's original heavy hitter. Hidden at the Shoreside Vale Ammu-Nation and at several iconic GTA III secret pickup points.

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.
