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

The series-staple wooden bat, swung in heavy arcs that stagger and floor enemies — common early-game stock across Liberty City.

An M4-pattern carbine with tighter accuracy and a faster rate of fire than the Assault Rifle, ideal for ranged control.
