How AP Pistol and MG 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 M249-style belt-fed light machine gun — high capacity, sustained fire, and the cheaper of the two LMG options. Stocked at Ammu-Nation in the late-game weapons tier.
