How Brass Knuckles and M4 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 laser-accurate 5.56 carbine that out-ranges the AK at the cost of tighter ammo — the late-game assault rifle of choice. Carried by SWAT and Tierra Robada military, and sold at Las Venturas Ammu-Nation.
