There are multiple guns in PUBG Mobile. It is a combat-based game and guns play a major role in the game. The guns range in genre, availability, and in damage. This does not mean that some guns are better than others. Some guns just make more sense than others in certain situations. For instance, some players might argue that a shotgun is a better alternative at close range than SMGs or even assault rifles. This can have multiple reasons, firstly the damage of the shotgun along with the recoil of the gun. A similar thing can be said about DMRs and Snipes in the game. The distinguishing factor can be the magazine and the rate of fire. These are the arguments and reasoning that can be presented by players about certain guns and categories. 

However, on playing the game on the BlueStacks Emulator, we figured out that among the many guns in PUBG Mobile, there are some guns that have a higher recoil than other guns. This happens because the developers have tried to make the game as realistic as possible, this makes certain guns harder to control and spray with. In this guide, you will know all about the guns with the highest recoil in PUBG Mobile. 

What is Recoil and How to Control It? 

Recoil is the aftereffect of shooting from a gun that makes the gun shaky and unstable. The recoil also increases as you increase the intensity of the scope used on the gun. For instance, a player using a red dot sight or a holographic sight on a gun will experience less recoil than the player using 4x or 6x on a gun. Attachments of the gun also play a major role in reducing the recoil. A complete attachment-equipped gun will experience lesser recoil than a gun that has no attachments. The recoil can be horizontal as well as vertical. 

The vertical recoil makes the gun move upwards while shooting, and the horizontal recoil makes the gun move sideways while shooting. Both of these can be controlled by players by adding attachments to the gun. Attachments not only help in controlling the recoil but also the accuracy, range, and precision of the gun. This can help players in close range as well as long-range fights against the enemy. Therefore, attachments should be a key focus to reduce the recoil of the guns. 

Guns with High Recoil

There are multiple guns in the game, but these guns are harder to control than the other guns in the game:

• AKM 

One of the most wanted and sought-after guns in PUBG Mobile, the AKM is an assault rifle that is very easily available on any map of the game. The gun fires 7.62 mm bullets and is a very good option for close-range fights. However, it is also a gun with high recoil and high power. The stability of the gun is 33, which is very low. This has a lot to do with the fire rate of the gun, which is 61 with hit damage of 49. 

The recoil of the gun can only be controlled by the muzzle attachment. The noise made by the gun is also very loud, therefore it can alert the enemies who are nearby as well as the enemies who might be a little far. However, the recoil is easier to control if the gun is fired with the help of the default iron sight of the gun. The difference isn’t very stark, and it remains difficult to control. 

• MK14

Considered to be one of the most powerful guns in the game, MK14 is a DMR that can also fire in full-auto mode. It is the only Designated Marksman Rifle in the game that can work in the auto-mode. Since it is one of the most powerful guns in the game, the availability and control are very tough for players. This gun can only be acquired from the airdrop or the flare drop. The gun fires 7.62 mm bullets and is an excellent option for close-range combats. The gun is also a very good option for long-range action as it is a DMR and is compatible with the 8x scope. The recoil of the gun in the auto-fire mode is 57, which is on the higher side. 

However, this compensates for the high damage that the gun can do. One thing that players need to keep in mind is that the recoil is significantly less in the single fire mode. Attachments are the best friend of the players when using this gun. Attachments like the muzzle or the cheek pad can be used to reduce the recoil of the gun in auto mode. 

• Groza

Another drop exclusive weapon, Groza is considered to be a god-level weapon in PUBG Mobile. The assault rifle uses 7.62 mm bullets and can do a lot of damage. It is also among the guns that have a very high rate of fire. The gun is small, and it does not affect the mobility of the players. 

The recoil of the gun is 32 in close range, but as you try to down enemies at a distance, the recoil might start troubling you. Close range attachments are the best for this gun. The muzzle and red dot sight make the most sense for this gun. Try using this gun for close-range combats. It is also a good option for mid-range combats. Long-range fights should not be taken with this weapon, as the recoil increases with bigger scopes. 

• M16A4

This might be a surprise for a number of players. The M16A4 is not an automatic assault rifle. It fires 5.56 mm bullets in rounds of 3. The recoil of the gun is 34 and this is in close combat situations. Since it only has a burst fire mode and no automatic fire mode, using it in close range can prove to be a mistake for a lot of players. This is a good weapon for mid-range however, using it in the long-range with bigger scopes increases the recoil.

No grips can be attached to the gun to reduce the recoil, players can only rely on the muzzle. It is best to use it if you are completely confident, else the decision can backfire. 

• M249

This is the only gun on this list that is not an assault rifle. This is an LMG and again, a drop exclusive gun. It is an extremely powerful gun, but at the same time very loud. It is advisable to use this gun only when the enemy is really close. The gun has a recoil of 34 but still can get hard to handle for players. The attachment options are also very limited as players can only add a scope to the gun. It is, however, very effective in destroying moving vehicles. Since it has 100 bullets in one magazine, it is very advantageous for players. 

There are multiple other guns in the game that has high recoil. Beryl M762 did not make the list, as it shares a lot of its attributes with the AKM. To ensure good control over these guns, players can practice with these guns on the training ground. If players are able to control the recoil of these guns, controlling other guns would become much easier. Since these guns are also the highest damage dealing guns, it is best to have good control over them to have more kills and faster progression in the game. 

Not all of these guns will be easy to find in a normal match, as some of these are drop-exclusive weapons. However, all of these guns are available in the training mode. One should practice with and without attachments to enhance the control and precision of the guns. Another thing to keep in mind is that these weapons are not a very bad idea for long-range. If players are able to control the recoil, then these can be very rewarding in long-range fights as well. Practicing for all scenarios is always a good idea in PUBG Mobile.
