How .357 and S.P.A.S. 12 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 semi-automatic SPAS-12-style shotgun with a much faster cycle than the chrome variant — drops gang members and VCPD alike in one or two close-range hits. Late-game Ammu-Nation unlock.
