The moment I come across an AR compensator I'm looking for an AKM...hard to ignore that damage output even with the slow rate of fire, it is more controllable than one'd think with that comp on and I find AK has a bit better range than ACE or Beryl. A 3x on AK with comp = surprisingly very manageable recoil.

[@RJinks87]

I do like the AKM and instead of always going for my normal load out (M416) I sometimes am tempted to rock an AK just for fun. If you have it decked out (comp, ext quick, red dot) it can be lethal but I always find unless I am rocking a 5.56 DMR I can be screwed near end game at mid range.

[@kevind7873]

AKM was my favorite AR from the beginning (M4 suppressed was my second). Now with all the changes, I still pick it up over any 5.56 rifle. I use the AKM and Beryl the most now. They both just feel so good after using them so much.

[@kernowed]

Likewise 👍

[@valarya]

I've long said that weapons (and what attachments you use) feel different to different people. I live in a world of sound, therefore the suppressor on the AK is the only way I can use it 😅😅-- it does something to the sound that helps me control it & it becomes a much better laser for me. I know that makes no mathematical sense, but it's like 'hearing blue' or 'tasting purple' if you know what I mean.

[@FADE623]

I really like this style of video! You should make a lot more for all the different guns!

[@richardfoxdf6098]

The AKM has a very linear spray. Assuming fully kitted on both, an M416 will veer off and have to be realigned, while an AKM spray will generally be quite narrow veer of much less. Because of the low rate of fire it is also much easier to keep track of the spray, so for anyone who struggles to realign sprays (like my cursed reaction time...), the AKM is arguably a better weapon. Fire rate and damage don't mean anything if you can't hit your target dead centre. Furthermore, the AKM has a magazine empty time that is much higher than other assault rifles while doing far more damage per bullet meaning you have a 'larger' magazine for making mistakes (missing) and for shooting cars. Thanks for sharing the damage stats, I didn't look at it like that but always felt it did rather good damage despite the comparisons to other weapons.

[@CurtisH116]

It is my go to weapon any time. Comp, canted sight and a mag, awesome loadout. It's actually not bad semi-firing with a scope mid-range in a pinch

[@RoffelMonster]

Since the release of PUBG the AK has always been my favourite AR, closely followed by the SCAR. 3scope AK and 3scope SCAR is the bomb :D

[@andresk4694]

Tbh I was shocked at how good 2x scar is, will give 3x a try

[@saladino8882]

For me is 2x

[@IndianGamer001]

Scar with 3x or 4X scope is too powerful to deal with and with half grip or vertical attachment you can rule the lobby.

[@LargeLatLad]

Scar is my number 1

[@HeyGeesh]

Finally more love to this gun. I'm an AKM fanatic, often dropping even a Beryl for the gun. I feel like when you master the gun, its the easiest AR to control in the game. I've sprayed people from over 200 meters with the gun, and surprisingly, hit almost all the shots. Love this gun and I feel as if its just a perfect do-it-all AR.

[@charlehpock]

Early game yes, AKM just deletes people - some of the 7.62 weapons kill faster but that iron sight and sledgehammer sound just makes it feel powerful, and the Beryl can be a bit harder to manage unless you are pretty close.

[@kfitzp88]

Jacky the mutant is the most underrated, hidden gem of PUBG. Highest damage of any AR.. there is a reason they limit the mag to 20+10(or 12)

[@Verlisify]

This video was more of an explanation than a guide. I was hoping Jacky would say the best way to hit the 100ms TTK. Do you want to aim chest and have the recoil bounce to head or aim head and yank down for a body shot. When using the M16A4 I found success starting low and having the burst climb to the dome

[@noriceformeplz]

Since I have gotten the recoil down on the AKM I prefer it over any other AR. Other guns are easily manageable but the AK is so much more of a reward when you kill cause you have to work for it, and the time to kill plus the highest AR damage makes it a no brainer for me. Also I really love the AK iron sight its either a red dot or nothing ill rock the iron sight over any other scope on the AK.

[@tech-daddy]

Yep, always liked it.

AKM was my favorite AR before the sweeping recoil changes long ago. Even though it seemed to get hit harder by the recoil changes it remained my favorite until they nerfed the damage. I really miss being able to do 100 damage with a headshot + chest shot and I haven't used it much since :(

[@meoKve69]

from the first day of pubg to present, i still love using this gun

[@KhalifaDawg]

Ive been using the AKM alot lately, its actually my most used weapon in pubg history, checked via stats. Great gun. However i disagree with 2 points. AKM has the literal worst ironsight of any gun in this game in my opinion. Its just a long flat rail that restricts vision, i find it easy to lose target when the recoil kicks and the whole gun covers the view of the enemy. And 6X spray when zoomed out to a 3x is god mode. Love spraying that way. At least on console. AKM has always been a solid choice of weapon for sure

[@garcex1382]

[@DrBrian0450]

I've been liking it lately as well...couldn't quite put my finger on why, but now I see...

[@stroggwars]

I use suppressed AKM I feel it more control, Wacky shooting a gun with crouch + lean will reduce recoil a lot but u have to crouch lean with the direction of the moving target so if the target is moving left u crouch lean to left

[@namachuck]

Imagine thinking you're giving a tip to WackyJaxky who's already known this before you could tie your shoelaces incorrectly.

[@pubg_boysinaction3377]

I think it was my first gun to reach weapon mastery level 100. Nowadays it's used mainly in early game due the "easy max" but it changes quickly to Ace / M416 or Beryl depending on which attachments I have gathered and availability of ammo. 2x /3x scope is ok, 4x is indeed horrible. 6x has also a bit.. rough feeling.. when using it due recoil... I think that nowadays vector has surpassed it in kill count... Perhaps next video is why to use Vector? 😆

[@HP-oz8to]

Thanks Wacky for bringing one of the most underrated ARs in the game under the spot light

[@Sandeee]

love the akm with 2x for close range and 3x for slightly far away. only recently I have made the switch to ACE

[@robertorinaldi882]

when you have to choose a single weapon because you want to use bluechip detector or drone, the akm is a good choise. it's beetwenn a dmr and an ar. if you can't find an mk14.

[@BoogBoiKY]

Akm with a comp and a holo is my go to and an mk12 with a 4x and comp or suppressor is my favorite setup I run it every game usually

[@TheAllansee]

AKM and Mk12 are my go to

[@smob6969]

[@maartenregterschot8423]

People hate about the AKM because of the slow ratio of fire. I love the AKM, the recoil is very very predictable. And thst recoil pattern is design so genius

[@JamesonHuddle]

I usually doesn't feel bad early game, but I am not a fan later, I prefer ARs I can attach a 6x to and do easy scoped sprays like the M4 and Ace32. I love looting so the attachments required are usually not an issue.

[@cod4volume]

Wacky always delivering the goods.

[@NickMemphis136]

[@lsimorn]

AK is underrated for sure.

[@rocke907]

i love to use akm with red dot and 3x sometimes :D

[@HSPLP]

I like also playing the ACE and M416 ♥ Good weapons

[@Viktor_VVT-I]

Firstly, AKM has just crazy horizontal recoil, the sight runs back and forth Secondly, it’s still uncomfortable for me to shoot from the front sight Thirdly, low rate of fire But I agree, if the enemy is close, then he kills well, but in PUBG all firefights are at a distance of 20-50 meters. My choice is ACE 32 + Angled Foregrip

[@lildirtnap1198]

i knew i liked the akm for a good reason :)

[@alan138]

Not sure if anyone will ever read this. But being the compensator the only requiered attachment to get the most out of the AKM is at te same time both a good thing and a bad thing. So lets say you didnt find any compensator, then you are screw up. But with an ACE or an M4 it can be manageable with just a vert grip and tactical or heay stock. So if i personaly only use full game the AKM if i found the compensator easly. Otherwise i prefer to go with an M4 or Ace with grip and stock.

[@abdulabdanahib9617]

so in TDM mode you prefer AKM?

[@alan138]

@@abdulabdanahib9617 Mostly i do yes. But even if i have the AKM as prefered. I have to admit that i still switch to other weapons if i feel like in that particular game. For exapmple depending on wich SR or DMR i decide to use. If i go for mini then i probably will switch to an M4. And if i go SLR or K9 then i use to pick AKM or ACE.

[@adamcarlton3312]

I've had some of my best games when I used the ak but for some reason I always opt for an m4, beryl or ace. I think in my mind an AR with all the attachments on is by default better than something like the ak even though that isn't necessarily true.
