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

A pump-action chromed 12 gauge — the workhorse close-range gun of Vice City. Reliable, slow to reload, and stocked at every Ammu-Nation from early in the story.

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.
