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