How AP Pistol and Heavy Pistol 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 1911-style .45 ACP sidearm with brutal damage at the cost of slower reload. Available at Ammu-Nation from the mid-story and a Michael De Santa favourite during Vinewood missions.
