How Brass Knuckles and Minigun 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 six-barrel rotary chaingun with the highest sustained DPS in the game — shreds helicopters, SWAT vans, and crowds in seconds. Found in Area 69, on the Hydra carrier, and at Ammu-Nation late game.
