How Baseball Bat and Sniper Rifle stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto III.

GTA III's only proper melee weapon — a wooden bat that downs pedestrians in two or three swings and turns car windows into shrapnel. Reliably looted from downed Mafia goons in Portland.

A bolt-action scoped sniper rifle that one-shots most enemies with a headshot. Required for the rooftop hits in Staunton Island and stocked at the high-end Ammu-Nation late game.
