The Kar98k
There can be no denying that this is amongst the most favorable and best sniper rifle in the game. The pros are in love with this one and it can do miracles in both medium range and long range though its fast bullet velocity makes it have a high recoil but what else do you expect from a one-shot marksman rifle and if you find a decent scope with it then it's your solid choice gun as it does not require too many attachments.

Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 197.5 |
Magazine Size | 5 |

The stats here makes it clear that with a good scope this gun can make your opponents shiver and that is what makes it so different from all the other guns making it have a clear spot amongst the best PUBG guns but it is not a good early-game weapon so picking it up as soon as you land is not advised.

M416
The M416 is a medium-range annihilator. This gun can take any attachment that you come across, making it a great option for a wide range of players. These traits make it a great designated marksman rifle. Here is a list of key stats for the M416:

Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 101 |
Magazine Size | 30 |

Plus this one is decent from the age allowing you to take up good positions and get the drop on enemies. Overall, the M416 is a great choice for beginners and pros alike. Talking about best pubg guns we also need to have the best pub settings to use them correctly so if you want to get into that here is an article about the best pubg settings.

Scar-L.
This American assault rifle is a great option for players that want something similar to the M416 and are willing to swap the rate of fire for better damage at range and a more favorable recoil rating. with its two firing modes and an amazing bullet drop control the Scar L is quite different from other assault rifles. Here is a list of stats for the Scar-L

Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 101 |
Magazine Size | 30 |
Range | 495 m |
Fire Rate | 0.096 ms |

This gun boasts an excellent bullet speed which allows for better results from range, a damage capacity that can take out unarmoured players with one headshot, and also a great rate of fire. So if you are looking for a decent fire rate gun the scar-l might have been a great option.

AKM
The AKM is also known as the PUBG AK-47. Its high fire rate and high recoil make it a deadly but tough weapon to use and its quick trigger finger is also hard to handle but once you get used to it there is no stopping you. Here is a list of stats for the AKM:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 47 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 115.1 |
Magazine Size | 30 |
Range | 290 m |

This weapon is admittedly rather poor from long range and doesn’t have the fastest rate of fire either. However, it more than makes up for this with an impact that will take out a fully armored enemy with just five body shots. This one is all about engaging the enemy in enclosed spaces and making each bullet count.

The Pan
Not a part of the pubg guns but the best close-range weapon in the game. This melee weapon can save your life from sniper rifles, submachine guns designated marksman rifles, or name any weapon, and if it hits it no damage. If there are no guns around, pick this one up and it just might save you from early death and it got quite the punch. Here are the stats for this cast iron assassin:
Spec | Value |
Pick-up delay | 150 ms |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 80 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 200 |
Range | 0m |
Weapon Class | Melee |
These stats clarify the fact that this is amongst the best weapons in public and a must-have if you don't have a secondary weapon.

Vector
The Vector is rather similar to the UMP9 but has a much more favorable rate of fire and less recoil to boot. However, you will find this one lacking in damage when making this comparison. Here are the stats for the vector:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 31 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 55.8 |
Magazine Size | 19 |
Range | 150 m |
Fire Rate | 0.055 ms |
Weapon Class | Submachine Gun |
This gun isn’t as much of a hard hitter as the UMP9 and also doesn’t have the same abilities as medium ranges. However, when up and close with the enemy, this gun will spurt bullets out with amazing speed, meaning that you’ll have your opponent dealt with before they can even blink. One thing to take into account is the magazine size which can be quite limiting, so make every bullet count. So, if you’re looking for something fast and accurate, the Vector is a great choice.

Mini 14
The mini 14 one deals a reasonable level of damage, has great bullet speed which translates to a gun that is competent from range,d has a decent magazine size which can come in handy if luck isn’t on your side when searching for loot. Here is a look at the stats for the mini-14:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 48.30 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 108.1 |
Magazine Size | 20 |
Range | 400 m |
Fire Rate | 0.13333 seconds |
Weapon Class | Designated Marksman Rifle |
For its classification, this gun also has a rather favorable rate of fire, making it great for picking off targets with multiple accurate ranged shots. This helps to account for the slightly underwhelming damage but overall, this I gun has a lot to offer to players who like the option of playing pensively and from all ranges.

UMP9
This spiritual successor to the MP5 is one of the most powerful SMGs in the whole game and has a surprisingly low recoil rating considering its classification. Here is a list of stats for the UMP9
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 39 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 70.2 |
Magazine Size | 25 |
Range | 200 m |
Fire Rate | 0.085 ms |
Weapon Class | Submachine Gun |
This one is perfect for close-range encounters and can handle itself at medium range due to the high accuracy and bullet speed of this gun. Plus, as you would expect, the rate of fire is lightning quick, so expect to rattle off multiple shots with ease. It’ll take six shots to the body to take down a fully armored enemy but with accuracy and rate of fire like this, that’s not too hard to manage. Be sure to give this one a try.

AWM
The AWM is the most powerful gun in the entire game, This deadly sniper rifle is able to one-shot any player with any level of armor from up to 100 meters away. It has a ridiculous amount of damage that makes it ideal forend-game battles. Here is a rundown of the AWM stats:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 136.5 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 262.50 |
Magazine Size | 5 |
Range | 650 m |
Fire Rate | 1.85 |
Weapon Class | Sniper Rifle |
The range of this weapon is sublime, the power of the impact doesn’t drop with distance and the damage is insanely high. However, you can only receive this one in airdrops so don’t expect to find this in the first house you ransack for loot however it is not quick and it shouldn't be as it might be too OP for the game. Overall, if you’re a fan of sniping in PUBG, there is no substitute for the quality of the AWM.

S686
Our first shotgun entry is the S686. This gun is best known for its burst damage at close range and its ability to fire two shots one after the other rapidly. Here is a rundown of the S686 stats:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 23.1x9 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 34.7x9 |
Magazine Size | 2 |
Range | 80 m |
Fire Rate | 0.2 seconds |
Weapon Class | Shotgun |
The S686 does have its drawbacks in the form of its double-barrel magazine size and its woeful accuracy from range which is only aided slightly with a choke equipped. However, this is all irrelevant from close range when you can land extremely powerful hits which will take out pretty much any opponent you come across from point-blank range. So if you like getting up close and personal, the S686 is your ideal companion.

SKS
The SKS acts sort of like a hybrid between an assault rifle and a sniper rifle. It lacks the same abilities from long-range as fully-fledged snipers. However, from medium ranges, you can be quite a nuisance with this in your hands. Here are the stats for the SKS:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 55.6 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 124.5 |
Magazine Size | 10 |
Range | 400 m |
Fire Rate | 0.09 seconds |
Weapon Class | Designated Marksman Rifle |
Very few guns within PUBG can offer a high rate of fire, long-range capabilities, and high damage capacity, so this makes the SKS one hell of an option. The downsides include a high level of recoil and a quite small magazine size but as a whole, this gun offers one of the best options to players you love going about their business from medium ranges. If this is you, be sure to try this one out.

M249
The M249 excels in clearing a packed room with a large magazine size, damage output that rivals most assault rifles, and a rate of fire so fast that you’ll rip through enemy squads before they even know what hit them. Here are the stats belonging to the M249:
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 45 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 103.4 |
Magazine Size | 100 |
Range | 450 m |
Fire Rate | 0.075 ms |
Weapon Class | Light Machine Gun |
Admittedly, this gun does have some downsides. It has a very long reload time when you finally exhaust the large magazine. It’s the longest of any gun in the game. Plus, this one does have low recoil but with the excessive bullets you’ll be firing, it can be hard to keep this gun’s fire accurate. Overall, it’s a very situational weapon but one that is unparalleled when the situation arises.

Beryl M762
The beryl m762 is a pro weapon choice its amazing fire rate chaotic damage amazing style and three attachment slots make it amongst the most deadly and hard-to-use weapons on his list. These days, Beryl M762 has higher Damage Per Second than AK47 and competes with some of the best high fire rate weapons, including Groza. Here are all the specs about the beryl m762.
Spec | Value |
Body Damage (No Armor) | 44 |
Headshot Damage (No Armor) | 100.5 |
Magazine Size | 30 |
Range | 100-200 m |
Fire Rate | 0.7 ms |
Weapon Class | Assault Rifle |
This says a lot about this gun, but to further validate, Beryl M762 also has three attachment slots that can further enhance its stats. A good player in PUBG would always prefer this, and I’ve seen numerous individuals using it with 4X on FaceIt.
