The Kar 98K is an acronym for Karabiner 98 Kurz and is one of the best sniper rifles in PUBG Mobile. The gun is capable of yielding damage up to about 150 with a properly aimed headshot under ideal circumstances. Many skilled players opt for this gun because of its ability to cause enough damage to kill with just one shot even over long distances. The gun can host sights up to 8X, stocks and muzzle.

#4. M249

M249 is a rare Light Machine Gun (LMG) in PUBG Mobile that fires 5.56 mm ammo. Although the gun takes around seven seconds to reload, its rounds' magazine capacity compensates for it. The gun is capable of hosting sights up to 6x. Major drawbacks of M249 is that it's not compatible with any other attachments and buns out bullets quickly. The recoil rate of M249 could be controlled by going prone and can yield damage up to 86 to the enemy.

#3. Groza

Groza is an assault rifle in PUBG Mobile that is exclusively found only from airdrop crates. The gun fires 7.62 mm ammo that is commonly found across maps at an initial bullet speed of 715 meters per second. Except for its three second long reload time, the gun could be tagged overpowered since that could be corrected using a quickdraw mag. Groza has a firing rate of 0.079 and this, paired with its impeccable firing speed, is capable of yielding damage of more than 90, mostly with just a single shot.

#2 AWM

Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum, commonly referred to as AWM in PUBG Mobile, is a sniper rifle that fires .300 magnum at an initial speed of 945 m/s. The gun and its cartridge can be found in airdrop crates only.

The rarity of bullets and a long reload time prove to be major drawbacks of the gun. However, this gun is clearly one of the best in the game as it's capable of yielding damage of 264 under ideal circumstances which is the highest ever and is thus capable of killing an enemy in a single shot.

#1 MK14

Although a limited mag capacity and a long reload time are drawbacks, the gun's impeccable stability of aim and the ability to yield damage of 120 even from a long distance compensate for it all, making it the best gun in PUBG Mobile.
