How MP5 and .357 stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

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.

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.
