How AP Pistol and Machine 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 Tec-9-style machine pistol added with the Lowriders update — drive-by capable and dual-wieldable. The classic gang machine pistol made for low-rider passenger missions.
