The M416 is one of the most popular assault rifles in PUBG Mobile and BGMI due to its versatility and effectiveness in various combat scenarios. Below is detailed information about the M416 with different grips and scopes, including damage, recoil, and control techniques.
M416 Overview
- Base Damage: 41 per shot
- Rate of Fire: 0.086 seconds per shot
- Ammunition Type: 5.56mm
- Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds (40 with an extended mag)
- Fire Modes: Single, Auto
Recoil Patterns
The M416 has both vertical and horizontal recoil. The recoil pattern can be controlled by using attachments like grips, compensators, and different scopes.
Grips and Their Effects
- Vertical Foregrip
- Reduces: Vertical recoil
- Recoil Control: Helps control vertical recoil, making it easier to maintain accuracy in long sprays.
- Best For: Beginners and mid-range combat.
- Angled Foregrip
- Reduces: Horizontal recoil and slightly reduces vertical recoil
- Recoil Control: Balances both vertical and horizontal recoil, allowing for better control during quick sprays.
- Best For: Close to mid-range combat, where quick horizontal adjustments are needed.
- Half Grip
- Reduces: Both vertical and horizontal recoil, but slightly increases weapon sway
- Recoil Control: Provides a balanced reduction in recoil but increases weapon sway, requiring better handling skills.
- Best For: Players who can manage the sway and want balanced recoil control.
- Thumb Grip
- Reduces: Scope opening time and slight reduction in vertical recoil
- Recoil Control: Minimal recoil control, but faster ADS (Aim Down Sight) makes it ideal for aggressive players.
- Best For: Close-range combat where quick ADS is crucial.
- Light Grip
- Reduces: Weapon sway after shooting
- Recoil Control: No reduction in recoil, but it helps stabilize the gun quickly after each shot.
- Best For: Single-tap firing modes, such as when using the M416 in single-fire mode for long-range engagements.
- Laser Sight
- Reduces: Hip-fire spread
- Recoil Control: No direct impact on recoil, but improves hip-fire accuracy.
- Best For: Close-range, hip-fire situations.
Scopes and Their Usage
- Red Dot Sight
- Best Range: Close to mid-range
- Recoil Control: Ideal for close-range combat as it allows quick target acquisition with minimal recoil impact.
- Usage Tip: Pair with grips like the Vertical or Angled Foregrip for better control in quick fights.
- 3x Scope
- Best Range: Mid-range
- Recoil Control: Recoil is noticeable but manageable with practice, especially with a grip that reduces horizontal recoil.
- Usage Tip: Pair with Angled or Half Grip to maintain control during extended sprays.
- 4x Scope
- Best Range: Mid to long-range
- Recoil Control: Recoil is more significant at this zoom level. A compensator and a Vertical Foregrip are recommended.
- Usage Tip: Burst or tap fire is preferable with a 4x scope to maintain accuracy.
- 6x Scope
- Best Range: Long-range
- Recoil Control: High recoil makes it challenging to use in full-auto mode; better suited for single-tap or burst firing.
- Usage Tip: Adjust the 6x scope to 3x for more manageable recoil during sprays, and use a grip that best suits your firing mode.
Recoil Control Tips
- Burst Fire: When using higher magnification scopes, use burst fire instead of full auto to control recoil better.
- Drag Down: Dragging your finger or mouse down during a spray can help control vertical recoil.
- Compensator: Always use a compensator to reduce both vertical and horizontal recoil, especially when using higher magnification scopes.
- Training Mode: Practice in training mode to get a feel for how each grip and scope affects recoil and accuracy.
Optimal Loadout Recommendations
- Close Range (Red Dot): Vertical Foregrip or Thumb Grip + Compensator
- Mid Range (3x): Angled Foregrip + Compensator
- Long Range (4x/6x): Vertical Foregrip + Compensator + Burst Fire Mode
Mastering the M416 with different grips and scopes requires practice, but understanding how each attachment affects recoil and control will significantly improve your effectiveness in combat.
