How AP Pistol and Musket 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.
An 18th-century muzzle-loading musket added with the Independence Day update — one shot, devastating damage, painfully slow reload. Earned via the Independence Day collectible run.
