How Brass Knuckles and Tec-9 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 cheap, high-fire-rate machine pistol popular with the Los Santos gangs — dual-wieldable at Hitman SMG skill and useable in drive-bys. Drops constantly from Ballas during turf wars.
