Heavy Pistol

"The heavyweight champion of the magazine fed, semi-automatic handgun world. Delivers accuracy and a serious forearm workout every time."

- GTA V description on Rockstar Games Social Club.

The Heavy Pistol is a weapon appearing in Grand Theft Auto V as part of the upcoming The Business Update.

Design and Performance
The handgun's design appears to be based on the FNP-45 with the exclusion of the extruding barrel. Unlike the FNP, the in-game model does not feature the silver stainless steel or original black slide. The gun takes many elements from the Colt M1911, particularly the grip and the slide. The in-game model also features a longer integrated tactical rail than that of the FNP.

The Heavy Pistol has high damage per shot, with semi-automatic firing rate. Its damage is comparable but less than the Pistol .50 but boasts a much larger 18 round magazine with a 36 round magazine with an extended clip like the AP Pistol. It also has higher accuracy and effective range than other pistols making this an effective weapon at mid and close range. However its rate of fire appears to be slightly lower than other pistols despite what its stats say, most likely due to its higher recoil. Against your typical police officer or gang member the Heavy Pistol typically kills its target with 2-3 body shots but its not uncommon to instantly kill a target with a single shot.
