How Brass Knuckles and Country Rifle 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 bolt-action hunting rifle with a fixed scope — slower than the sniper rifle but useful for medium-range engagements early in the game. Drops from rural pedestrians and stocks at Ammu-Nation from Las Venturas onward.
