AKM Strengths & Weaknesses
Before you know how to use AKM properly, you need to know the statistics, weaknesses and strengths in this game first.
- Reload Duration: 2.90s
- Rate of fire: 0.1s
- Ammo: 7.62mm
- Damage: 47
AKM is one of the most popular AR although not the best in PUBG. This AR uses 7.62 mm ammunition and can be found in all maps in the game.
Overall, it is considered one of the more difficult weapons to wield and master, mainly due to its challenging recoil pattern.
The AKM has top tier damage and a good headshot modifier, along with a large 30 round magazine. This AR is best used in short to medium range combat.
The weaknesses of the AKM are the slow fire rate, slightly shorter range and high recoil. While you may be able to do short bursts at close to medium range, it's best to tap-fire in long snipes.
With the right attachments, this weapon can become a makeshift sniper rifle, as its headshot damage is the highest of all ARs.
What Attachments Should Be Installed on AKM?
AKM only has 3 attachment slots: magazine, sight, and muzzle. The most important attachment you should get for this weapon is probably the compensator. This attachment reduces recoil and increases stability, making the shot more stable, the weapon more controlled, especially when continuously fired.
About the scope, it's best to get the longest scope you can, because the AKM's sniping ability is quite good. Quickdraw is probably the best magazine for this weapon, because you need reload speed.
It is important to choose the right attachments to reduce the recoil of this AR. You have to use the AR compensator which will significantly reduce the recoil rate.
At the same time, you can equip red dot or holo for the scope of your choice. An extended quickdraw magazine is the best choice as it will reduce the time to reload bullets as well as increase the ammunition capacity.
How to Control AKM Recoil
This AR's vertical recoil becomes a major problem when you learn how to use the AKM. You can overcome this using the drag-down method, dragging a finger that looks free down a little when shooting. However, you can also shoot in short bursts and improve your aim between shots.
Set proper sensitivity settings and get 4x and 6x scopes for mid/long range and Red Dot for close combat.
Sensitivity settings;
- No Scope: 80 percent
- Red Dot/Holo/Aim Assist/2x: 60 percent
- 3x: 36 percent, 4x: 20 percent, 6x: 18 percent, 8x: 8 percent.
