How Assault Shotgun and Battle Axe stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.
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.
A medieval-style two-handed war axe added with the Bikers update — one of GTA V's slowest melee weapons, but with the highest single-hit damage in the entire melee class.
