HOW TO USE AKM?
- The AKM in PUBG Mobile is one of the best Assault rifles available, albeit with certain drawbacks.
- In this article, we will look at the ways in which the AKM can be effectively used in the game.
AKM ATTACHMENT AND RECOIL GUIDE
The AKM is one of the best Assault rifles available in PUBG Mobile, albeit with certain drawbacks. The gun uses 7.62 mm bullets and has an impressive base damage of 49. It is great for short to mid-range shooting, and has a decent fire rate of 68, with a standard magazine capacity of 30 bullets. But masterting it is another challenge entirely for PUBG Mobile enthusiasts.
In this article, we will look at ways in which the AKM can be effectively used in PUBG Mobile:
1. Attachments: First and foremost, there are various drawbacks to the gun, such as the heavy recoil and low accuracy and range. To counter these, using all the available attachments is recommended.
The AKM has 3 attachment slots, and in our opinion, they must be used for a compensator, an extended magazine and a scope. Due to the low range, a 4X or 6X tactical scope is recommended. However, in case you plan on combining the AR with another gun with better range and accuracy, a red-dot sight will do the job, as far as short to mid-range shooting is concerned.
2. Firing technique: Secondly, due to the AR's high recoil and low accuracy, the firing technique might need some adjustment, especially for seasoned PUBG Mobile gamers who are used to better weapons. In order to further ease its usage, gamers can consider using it on burst mode, with a good tactical scope for mid to long-range shooting.
AKM NO RECOIL
AKM BEST SCOPE
AKM BEST SPRAY
Firing in short bursts in order to gain time to adjust the reticule is another effective strategy. As the AKM is a high-damage gun with below average stats, using it requires practice and decisiveness when shooting.
Weapon Characteristics
Excellent Stopping Power
The AKM will hit enemies like a truck - stopping them in their tracks & allowing you to eliminate them instantly.
Versatile In Any Range
This weapon is versatile in that it can be used in close, mid, & long range gun fights. However, damage drop off is still higher in long range battles.
Large Amount Of Recoil
The AKM's recoil is pretty insane, therefore, this weapon should be handled by players who know how to control recoil.
Weapon Tips
Fire In Bursts To Control Recoil
The AKM's recoil is intense so it's recommended to attach a Compensator and fire in bursts to control shots.
Best To Use In Close-Mid Range Combat
This weapon is most effective in close to middle distance fights as it can take down enemies quickly with its high stopping power.
Summary
A powerful assault rifle that uses 7.62mm ammunition, this rifle does more damage than the 5.56mm assault rifles and comes with a kick to match. In regards to attachments, the AKM is identical to the M16A4 in that it can only accept a muzzle, magazine, and sight attachment. It is best used in single-shot mode except when attempting to breach buildings with it.
At close to medium ranges, it is notable in that even if a target is wearing a military vest and/or Spetsnaz helmet, it only takes a maximum of five shots to kill. It is also capable of killing a Spetsnaz helmet wearer in two shots by landing a shot on the head, then finishing them off with another shot to any other part of their body.
The AKM will deal maximum damage within 50 meters, beyond that distance damage will continually decrease out to 290 meters. Thus, it is not recommended to engage sufficiently armored players at longer ranges as the recoil and lower bullet velocity compared to other rifles will prove landing consistent hits difficult.
