How Katana and .357 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
A curved Japanese sword that decapitates pedestrians in a single clean swing — the franchise's debut for the weapon. Earned during the Cuban-versus-Haitian arc and reliably re-picked-up at the Ocean View safehouse.
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.
