How AP Pistol and Sweeper Shotgun 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 drum-fed Striker-style automatic shotgun added with the Lowriders update — high capacity, full-auto, and drive-by capable. The gang shotgun made for low-rider gunfights.
