How Baseball Bat and Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The franchise's signature street weapon — a wooden bat that stuns and downs pedestrians in two or three swings. Used in early Grove Street missions and easy to pick up around basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and gang turf.

CJ's first proper sidearm — a 9mm semi-automatic pistol sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the game. Hit Hitman pistol skill and CJ dual-wields a pair for double the fire rate.
