- 1. M416
The HK416, (referred to as the M416 in-game) is
an assault rifle/carbine type weapon in BATTLEGROUND. A tactical rifle based on the discontinued XM8-project
as an improvement of both the M16/AR-15 and the M4 Carbine, it integrates the
short-stroke gas piston system from the G36 rifle for less recoil and increased
reliability. Adopted by the militaries of several countries across the world,
in BATTLEGROUNDS it proves very popular due to the number of attachments it can
accept, allowing a great amount of flexibility.

- 2. GROZA
The
OTs-14 Groza (simply called Groza in-game) is an assault rifle type weapon in BATTLEGROUNDS. It can only be found in Air Drops. Essentially a bullpup AKM, its name translates to Thunderstorm or Terror and for good reason - combining the raw stopping power
of 7.62mm ammo with a blistering rate of fire only found in the smaller caliber
assault rifles.
- 3. AUG A3
The AUG A3 (Armee-Universal-Gewehr—A3), an air drop-only weapon,
and for good reason - its exceptional handling and high muzzle velocity make it
a highly sought after weapon for anyone fortunate enough to come across a crate
and get away with its contents alive. The AUG utilizes the same attachment
points and even has the same ballistics as the SCAR-L, albeit with a
higher muzzle velocity and slightly increased drag coefficient meaning that
bullets fired from this gun will have a slightly more curved trajectory,
canceled out by the fact that the bullets travel much faster compared to the
SCAR-L. A major drawback of the AUG however is its relatively slow reload time,
with a tactical reload alone having a duration of 3 seconds, thus a quickdraw
magazine will be vital. Its rate of fire is also relatively slow, which allows
for better stability but somewhat reduces its capability in close quarters
combat.
When
equipped with a compensator and foregrip, the AUG has slightly more overall
stability compared to an equally equipped M416.
The
AUG will deal maximum damage out to 70 meters. Damage starts to decrease past
that point, with the maximum damage falloff at 482 meter.
4.
AKM
The AKM is an assault rifle type weapon in BATTLEGROUNDS. The AKM (Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanny, lit. Modernized Kalashnikov
Automatic Rifle) is an improved version of the original AK-47, featuring
improvements and refinements in manufacturing and materials to create a
modernized version of one of the most recognizable firearms in the world.
Especially popular with freedom fighters, insurgents and guerrilla forces, in
BATTLEGROUNDS its stopping power makes it popular for close-quarters combat.
A powerful assault rifle that uses 7.62mm
ammunition, this rifle does more damage than the 5.56mm assault rifles and
comes with a kick to match. In regards to attachments, the AKM is identical to
the M16A4 in that it can only accept a muzzle, magazine and sight attachment.
It is best used in single-shot mode except when attempting to breach buildings
with it.
- 5. SCAR-L
The SCAR-L is an assault
rifle weapon type in
BATTLEGROUNDS.
The
SCAR-L is the light variant of the FN SCAR (Special Operations
Forces Combat Assault Rifle), a
gas-operated short-stroke gas piston automated rifle chambered to a variety of
cartridges. It was originally developed by FN Herstal for the United States
Special Operations Command (SOCOM) as an entry to the SCAR Competition, a
competition to find the new service rifle for SOCOM. As of 2015, the SCAR
family of rifles is in service in over 20 countries.[1] In
BATTLEGROUNDS, it proves to be a well rounded rifle with a quieter muzzle
report and good stability.
