Tips To Use Semi-ARs In PUBG Mobile

You should only use these Semi-AR when you can't loot any full-auto AR in your area after landing. If you find both Mk47 and M16A4, pick up Mk47 and try to control the gun recoil. This 7.62 semi-AR MK47 is more powerful than M16A4 in close combat. The 4-finger claw setting is the key to tap faster and increase the rate of fire when you use a semi-AR.

If you are not good at recoil control, you should use the weaker but more stable one - M16A4. It's better to use a compensator for a semi-AR because it makes the crosshair not move too far between two fires. Moreover, M16A4 is better for mid-range combat. You can use it as a DMR because of its stability.
