How Chainsaw and Country Rifle stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

A motorised cutter that holds enemies in place and shreds them in a single sustained swing — one of the deadliest melee weapons in San Andreas. Find one at the Hardware Store in Angel Pine, in Sweet's house, or scattered around the desert.

A bolt-action hunting rifle with a fixed scope — slower than the sniper rifle but useful for medium-range engagements early in the game. Drops from rural pedestrians and stocks at Ammu-Nation from Las Venturas onward.
