How Assault Shotgun and Brass Knuckles 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 pair of brass knucks that turn Michael, Trevor, and Franklin's unarmed punches into bone-breaking hits without changing the animation. Stocked at Ammu-Nation and a staple GTA Online opener.
