How AP Pistol and Compact Rifle 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.

A cut-down AK-style assault rifle added with the Bikers update — small enough to fire from a moving car. The rare drive-by capable assault rifle in GTA V's arsenal.
