Top 10 Best Assault Rifles in BGMI
10. MK47 Mutant

It is known for high damage but tricky recoil. The MK47 Mutant inflicts heavy damage and has a burst firing mode. But precision aiming and recoil control will be a must for you to be effective with it in mid-range. You can attach the Full-Auto Mod, but still, it doesn't stand a chance near other 7.62-based assault rifles in the game.
Bullet Velocity | 780 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 20 (30 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, 2-Round Burst |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, Red Dot/Holo |
9. M16A4

A burst-fire rifle is effective at medium to long ranges. The M16A4’s burst mode requires good timing, but with rewards of accurate, powerful shots. However, if you attach the Full-Auto Mod from the Weapon Shops, it's a beast in long-range fights for sure.
Bullet Velocity | 900 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, 3-Round Burst |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, 3x/4x Scope |
8. Honey Badger

Small and strong for a distance of close to mid-range. The best part is the balance between power and control, which makes it perfect for aggressive gameplay. Honey Badger is a close-range giant, with decent hip-fire ability and less bullet spread.
Bullet Velocity | 715 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, Red Dot/Holo |
7. G36C

Steady and consistent while staying under control when taking shots with manageable recoil. The G36C is easy to use, with always-stable recoil that makes it great for medium-range shooting. However, this gun is generally only available in Vikendi.
Bullet Velocity | 715 m/s |

Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, Red Dot/Holo |
6. AUG A3

A high bullet speed and low recoil make a rare bird. This gun is a bit underrated, but a lower fire rate than the M416 and Scar-L might leaves it behind the rest. The AUG boasts extreme controllability and it is effective at longer ranges.
Bullet Velocity | 940 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Tactical Stock, Extended Magazine |
5. Beryl M762

Fast firing, high damage AR, high recoil. But if you can learn to control the Beryl's recoil, it is a close-range monster due to its fast firing rate. Despite being a 7.62-based gun, you can easily control its spray in mid-range fights.
Bullet Velocity | 740 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, Extended Magazine |

4. AKM

This gun is cosnidered to be one of the close range Gods of the game. Massive damage output paired with high amount of recoil means it requires skill to use effectively. The AKM is powerful, but needs patience and control to be effective. One downside of this gun it's ability to control long-range sprays.
Bullet Velocity | 715 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Grip, Extended Magazine |
3. Groza

Highest damage AR with aggressive recoil, but not as like AKM. Groza is an airdrop-exclusive but can shred enemies quickly when mastered. Groza fires at a higher rate than both the AKM, but at a lower recoil, which makes this gun a top-tier.
Bullet Velocity | 715 m/s |

2. Scar-L

Stable, easy to control, and great across all ranges. SCAR-L handles mid-range well with manageable recoil and good damage. This gun is said to have better close-range capabilities than the M416, and even better in terms of hip-fire.
Bullet Velocity | 715 m/s |
---|---|
Magazine Size | 30 (40 with Extended Mag) |
Firing Modes | Single, Auto |
Best Attachments | Compensator, Vertical Foregrip, Red Dot/Holo |
1. M416

Hands down the best AR of the game. Easy to control and balanced stats make the M416 the most used assault rifle in BGMI. The most significant aspect of this gun is its long-range sprays, even with scopes like 3x, 4x, and 6x, and every time it will be stable. But that needs sheer practice and proper sensitivity settings. However, do you want to know how Jonathan sprays down enemies even in a car, then you must checkout this guide to know his sensitivities.
