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

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.

A bolt-action scoped sniper rifle — accurate at long range and the go-to tool for the Cuban-Haitian rooftop missions. Stocked at the mid-tier mainland Ammu-Nation.
