Weapon Comparison Tool

Put any two PUBG Mobile weapons head to head. Not just base damage — damage per second, shots needed through Level 2 armour, and how hard each one is to actually hold on target.


M416
VS
AKM

Shots to down a full-health target

The default answer. Takes every attachment slot in the game, and with a compensator, vertical grip and tactical stock it becomes the flattest-shooting rifle available.

Highest damage per bullet of any common AR, but no grip slot and a violent first-shot kick. Rewards short taps, punishes spray.

Reading the comparison

Damage per shot is the headline number everyone quotes, and on its own it is close to meaningless. Damage per second combines it with fire rate, which is what actually decides a close-range trade — assuming every bullet lands.

Controllability is our own 0–100 rating of how hard a weapon is to hold on target, where lower is easier. It is a judgement, not a measurement, and it is the reason the highest-DPS gun is not automatically the best gun. A Beryl M762 out-damages an M416 on paper and loses to it constantly in the hands of an average player, because half its magazine goes over the target’s shoulder.

Shots to down uses Level 2 armour because that is what most players are wearing by the third circle. For any other combination, use the time-to-kill calculator.

Every weapon, side by side

The full stat table. Tier ratings weigh damage, controllability and how often you can realistically expect to find the weapon — an airdrop-only gun has to be exceptional to earn an S.

Community-measured values for patch 4.5. Damage figures for shotguns are per pellet, with 9 pellets per shell. DPS assumes every round lands.
