How Brass Knuckles and MP5 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

A pair of brass knucks that boost Tommy's unarmed damage without changing his animation — the earliest melee upgrade in Vice City. Found in alleys and on dead pedestrians around Vice Beach.

A precision-built MP5-style submachine gun with tight aim assist — Vice City's most accurate SMG and the backbone of the mid-game arsenal. Stocked at the high-tier Ammu-Nation on the mainland.
