Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), the official Indian version of PUBG Mobile developed by Krafton, launched on July 2, 2021, after an Early Access period starting June 17. With its familiar mechanics and vast weapon arsenal, BGMI demands smart loadouts for victory. In close-quarters battles, where precision meets firepower, the right gun can turn the tide. Drawing from pro player insights and extensive gameplay experience, here are the top 5 BGMI weapons for dominating short-range fights.
The UZI is a standout SMG, a favorite in Team Deathmatch (TDM) modes for its rapid fire rate that empties a standard 25-round magazine—or 35 with an extended one—in seconds. Tournament pros, especially from China, rely on it for close-range supremacy, though the UMP45 has recently edged in for mid-range too.
Often underrated, the AKM delivers devastating damage as an assault rifle (AR). While high recoil challenges control, mastering it with attachments enables 2-3 headshots to down foes. Pros like Jonathan Gaming favor it, making it a powerhouse for close to mid-range if you tame the kick.

Similar to the AKM, the M762 packs high damage but demands recoil management. Pair it with a Vertical Foregrip and laser sight for laser-like close-range accuracy. Top players recommend this setup to shred enemies in tight spaces.
An airdrop-exclusive AR, the Groza comes suppressed and high-capacity, boasting unmatched close-range lethality. A few well-placed bursts down opponents effortlessly, cementing its status as a drop-hunt priority for its proven damage output.
The ultimate close-range king and another airdrop gem, the MK14's 10-round mag belies its power. With full-auto and single-fire modes, plus 8x scope compatibility, it excels up close and doubles as a superior DMR for long range—versatility trusted by elite squads.
