How AP Pistol and Combat 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 MG4-style upgraded LMG with higher accuracy and damage than the base MG — the late-game heavy weapon of choice. Sold at the top Ammu-Nation tier.
