PUBG Weapon Damage Stats

PUBG weapon damage stats become increasingly important as you begin to think more competitively about how you play the game.

Different weapon stats are important at different times; DPS isn't very important for sniper rifles, but it's one of the most important stats for SMGs.

Weapon damage stats and charts

A few things to bear in mind:

• First, these stats are sourced from datamines of the main game - sources include datamined stats, as well as data from PUBG redditor. Updated 01. July 2018.
  
  
• The tables below are ordered by Shots to Kill, with the fewest shots to kill ranked highest. That doesn't mean that's always the best way to evaluate the weapons though. For a sniper rifle it's essential, as you're trying to kill players with as few shots as possible. For others like ARs and SMGs, the Time to Kill is much more important, with the lower the time the better.
  
  
• Time to Kill is when the weapon is firing at the chest of an opponent who is wearing Level 2 Chest Armour, which is the most likely standard for when you're playing decent-level games from the mid-game onwards. Likewise Shots to Kill for Chest and Head are both for Level 2 Chest Armour and Level 2 Helmets.
  
  
• Times are in seconds.
  
  
• Weapons marked with an asterisk * are only available in air drop crates, so don't plan to play around these being available in every game!

I never see anyone using shot guns or pistols, are they only for the very beginning of the game, or are they not used for certain reasons? I only see everyone using AR's and Sniper Rifles.

[Speeeeeed]

Nice, Thanks.

[GoCryWolf]

Could you do an update for the new pistol and the Sanhok weapons. The Beryl-972, Mutant-48, Skorpion and the QBU.
