How Hammer and .357 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

A claw hammer — a blunt, one-handed melee tool that lands with a heavy thud. Picked up in construction sites and around the half-finished Vice Point projects on the mainland.

A Colt Python .357 revolver that drops most enemies in a single chest shot — at the cost of a slow reload and just six rounds per cylinder. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once Tommy reaches the mainland.
