How AP Pistol and 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.
An MP5-style submachine gun with tight aim assist — accurate enough for mid-range engagements and a backbone of the mid-game arsenal. Stocked at Ammu-Nation across Los Santos.
