How Brass Knuckles and SMG 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.
An MP5-style submachine gun with tight aim assist — accurate enough to mid-range engagements and a backbone of the mid-game arsenal. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once you reach San Fierro.
