How Meat Cleaver and .357 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
A heavy butcher's cleaver introduced through Vice City's organised-crime missions — short reach but punishing damage per swing. Frequently dropped by enemy gangs during mission triggers in Little Havana.
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.
