How Baseball Bat and Katana stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The franchise's signature street weapon — a wooden bat that stuns and downs pedestrians in two or three swings. Used in early Grove Street missions and easy to pick up around basketball courts, baseball diamonds, and gang turf.

A curved Japanese sword that decapitates pedestrians in a single swing, returning from GTA Vice City. Most reliably looted from Da Nang Boys during the San Fierro storyline, or bought once the Las Venturas Ammu-Nation stocks it.
