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.

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.

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:

Headshot Damage (No Armor)
115.1

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:

SpecValue

Body Damage (No Armor)

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:

SpecValue
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:

SpecValue
Body Damage (No Armor)48.30
Headshot Damage (No Armor)
108.1
Magazine Size
20
Range

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

SpecValue
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:

SpecValue
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:

SpecValue
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:

SpecValue
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:

SpecValue
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.

SpecValue
Body Damage (No Armor)44
Headshot Damage (No Armor)
100.5
Magazine Size

100-200 m
Fire Rate

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.
