How Brass Knuckles and Combat Shotgun stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
A pair of brass knucks that turn CJ's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing his animation. The earliest melee upgrade in San Andreas — find them in alleys, on dead pedestrians, or at hidden pickups across Los Santos.
A semi-automatic SPAS-12-style shotgun with a much faster cycle than the pump variant — drops gang members and SWAT alike in one or two hits at close range. Sold in Las Venturas Ammu-Nation.
