In shooters - battle royales like Free Fire, movement speed is one of the most crucial stats that's often underestimated by gamers. By moving fast, you would be able to get to your current objective before your enemy, be it a flanking maneuver, escaping the danger zone, or even getting to a loot spot. That's why people consider Kelly's skill useful, despite it being a measly 6% boost.
In this article, we would list out the weapons with the lowest movement stat (which is an indication of their weight, obviously, as you would move slower carrying a heavier weapon).
5 - M249, M60 and Groza
Movement: 58
These 3 weapons tie on the 5th spot of this list - they all slow the player down slightly comparing to the average... but still manageable. While the M60 and M249 are really that heavy in real life, the Groza's low movement stat is probably for balance purposes, as all other stats of the gun are pretty high.
4 - M82B
Movement: 55
The newest sniper rifle added to Free Fire - the M82B definitely packs a lot of punch and is very versatile due to its numerous special abilities (in exchange for the lower movement speed). It deals the same base damage as other sniper rifles with extra bonus damage to Vehicles and Gloo walls.
Using this gun, you can easily snipe enemies behind Gloo covers, an important ability in the mid to late game. The armor-piercing ability would ensure the M82B remains a strong option at the end of the game.

3 - Grenade
Movement: 50
Despite being next to nothing in weight, the Grenade slows you down a lot while holding. This is probably for balance reasons, as holding out a grenade to aim while moving would definitely slow you down.
2 - AUG
Movement: 50
The runner-up is actually pretty surprising - the new weapon AUG is the second most heavy weapon in Free Fire, cutting down your movement speed in half when holding. Overall, this weapon is probably weak, with low movement speed and super low accuracy.
1 - Gatling Gun
Movement: 32
The Gatling pretty much tops this list with an overwhelming difference in weight, reducing players' movement speed to a measly 32. This means you can only move at 1/3 the normal speed while holding this gun.
The fact that the Gatling Gun is the heaviest weapon is pretty obvious - this gun was not actually intended for carrying around. Usually, the Gatling gun would be mounted on a vehicle or on the stationary high ground. Moving it around, dragging the magazine along and aiming it is a feat only the strongest human would be able to accomplish.
