How Brass Knuckles and Silenced Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

A pair of brass knucks that turn CJ's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing his animation. The earliest melee upgrade in San Andreas — find them in alleys, on dead pedestrians, or at hidden pickups across Los Santos.

A suppressed 9mm that one-shots most pedestrians and never raises CJ's wanted level when fired — the go-to choice for the burglary side-mission and quiet hits. Stocked at Ammu-Nation after "Doberman."
