How AP Pistol and Micro SMG 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 compact Uzi-style submachine gun that the protagonists can fire from a moving car — the early-game drive-by SMG of choice. Sold at Ammu-Nation from the start of the GTA V story.
