AP Pistol in GTA 5

Overview

The AP Pistol is a handgun in GTA 5 and GTA Online, unlocked at Rank 33 and sold at Ammu-Nation for $5,000. Its datamined figures are 25 damage, a fire rate of about 600 rounds per minute, a range figure of 120 and an 18 round magazine, by far the fastest fire rate of any handgun here. That fire rate makes it feel more like a submachine gun than a pistol, letting you empty its 18 round magazine in a burst rather than firing measured shots. Its damage per bullet is on the lower side for a handgun, similar to the Machine Pistol's submachine gun class numbers, so it relies on volume of fire rather than single shot power. Being a Rank 33 unlock, it comes later than most other handguns in a character's progression. It has no Mk II version. Players who like a fast emptying sidearm for close range surprises tend to keep it in rotation well after unlocking heavier hitting handguns.
