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

A broad chopping blade carried by the Haitian gangs — heavier than the knife with a wider arc. Reliably looted from downed Haitians during Auntie Poulet's missions and the Little Haiti turf war.

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.
