How Advanced Rifle and Hatchet stack up across the stats that actually matter in Grand Theft Auto V.
A futuristic bullpup-layout 5.56 rifle with the highest fire rate in the assault class. Unlocked at Ammu-Nation once the protagonists reach the high-tier weapons tier.
A short hand-axe added in GTA V's Independence Day update — a high-damage chopping melee that drops most pedestrians in two swings. Unlocked via the Bag of Cans missions in GTA Online.
