How Cane and Desert Eagle 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 hand-cannon .44 that drops most enemies in one or two shots and stays useful into the endgame. Available at Ammu-Nation from San Fierro onward, with maxed Pistol skill unlocking a tighter sway.
