How AP Pistol and Heavy Sniper 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 .50 caliber bolt-action sniper rifle — the king of long-range damage in GTA V's base arsenal. Required for the Vinewood-rooftop hits and sold at the top Ammu-Nation tier.
