How AP Pistol and Firework Launcher 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 festive RPG variant that fires colorful pyrotechnic rockets — same damage as the standard launcher with a celebratory visual. Added with the Independence Day update and recurring at every July 4th event.
