The Molotov is a throwable in GTA 5 and GTA Online, listed here at a community-reported price of $200. Its datamined damage is 0, since a Molotov does its damage through the fire it starts rather than a bullet value, with an effective range of about 30 and a clip of 1. Thrown at a target or the ground, it shatters and spreads burning fuel across the area, which keeps damaging anyone standing in the flames rather than landing one instant hit like a grenade does. That makes it strong against a target that cannot immediately move away, and weak against a fast moving vehicle or a player who simply steps back. It also sets flammable objects and grass alight, which can spread further than you intend. This price is community-reported rather than pulled from a confirmed listing, so check the counter yourself. It sits in the throwables wheel alongside the Grenade and Sticky Bomb, restocking the same way once bought.
Buy it from any Ammu-Nation for $200 once you reach rank *A Drop in the Ocean (GTA III).
