How Chainsaw and Desert Eagle 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 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.
