How Baseball Bat and Pistol stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

The franchise's signature blunt weapon — a wooden bat that downs pedestrians in two or three swings. Stocked at the cheaper end of Vice City's Ammu-Nation and a staple of early street missions.

Tommy's first proper sidearm — a Colt .45 semi-automatic with a tight aim assist. Sold at every Ammu-Nation from the start of the story and a staple of the early-game arsenal.
