How AP Pistol and Combat PDW 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 personal defence weapon added with the Last Team Standing update — high fire rate, large magazine, and a stock for hipfire-and-shoulder transitions. Stocked at Ammu-Nation thereafter.
