How AP Pistol and Double Barrel Shotgun 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 break-action coach gun added with the Bikers update — two shells per reload, lethal at close range, and a Western tribute aesthetic. Sold at Ammu-Nation thereafter.
