How Cane and Combat Shotgun stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

A pimp-style walking cane Carl can swing as a low-damage melee weapon, mostly used for style or comic effect. Found at the Four Dragons Casino and in certain Las Venturas safehouses.

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.
