How Advanced Rifle and Battle Axe stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.

A futuristic bullpup-layout 5.56 rifle with the highest fire rate in the assault class. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once the protagonists reach the high-tier weapons tier.

A medieval-style two-handed war axe added with the Bikers update — one of GTA V's slowest melee weapons, but with the highest single-hit damage in the entire melee class.
