How AP Pistol and Flare 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 hand-tossed signal flare used to mark drop zones for the Air Freight DLC missions. Burns brightly at night and can briefly blind nearby enemies. Functional rather than combat-oriented.
