How AP Pistol and SMG Mk II 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.

The Weapon Workshop upgrade of the base SMG — added with the Gunrunning update. Supports scope, suppressor, extended clips, and four MK II ammo types including armor-piercing.
