Moreover, AKM uses 7.62 ammo which has a greater armor penetration rate than 5.56 ammo that SCAR-L uses. So, AKM is a little more powerful than SCAR-L.
The firing rate of SCAR-L is 0.096. AKM has a lower rate of fire which is 0.1s. It means the number of bullet SCAR-L releases per second is higher. Therefore, SCAR-L wins in terms of firing rate although the gap is not noticeable.
SCAR-L Vs. AKM: Recoil & Reloading Time
One of the greatest problems of AKM is great recoil. This beast AR is one of the top hard-to-control weapon in PUBG Mobile due to its huge recoil rate. In contrast, SCAR-L is one of the most balanced and stable guns in this game. It has such a low recoil rate that you can attach a compensator to shoot without gun recoil.
Besides, SCAR-L also has a lower reload duration. It takes you only 2.2s to reload the SCAR-L without quickdraw mag. Meanwhile, you waste 2.9s to reload a default mag of AKM.
AKM Vs. SCAR-L: Popularity
SCAR-L is only spawned in three out of five maps in PUBG Mobile. It's replaced by QBZ in Sanhok and G36C in Vikendi. AKM is more popular. It appears in all five maps of this game.
In short, AKM is a very popular and powerful weapon. It's also a favorite weapon of pro players. Meanwhile, SCAR-L is more suitable for beginners who have to deal with gun recoil.
