How AP Pistol and Assault Shotgun stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.
A select-fire armor-piercing machine pistol — full-auto in a sidearm slot, ideal for drive-bys when an SMG would block the camera. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation mid-story.
An AA-12-style full-auto combat shotgun — drum-magazine-fed with brutal sustained DPS. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once the protagonists complete the Vinewood-side of the story.
