๐ TTK by Range
๐ฏ Who Wins in Each Scenario?
Ranked & Competitive Play

๐ Time-to-Kill (TTK) & DPS Analysis
When analyzing raw combat efficiency, Time-to-Kill (TTK) is the most critical metric. In the 0-10m range, the AKM delivers a TTK of 0.31s, while the SCAR-L clocks in at 0.36s.
This gives the AKM a clear mathematical advantage in face-to-face duels. A difference of 0.050s might seem small, but in PUBG's fast-paced server tick rate, it often determines who survives a trade.
In terms of Damage Per Second (DPS), the AKM outputs 571 damage, compared to the SCAR-L's 459.
๐ Recoil Control & Effective Range
Controlling your weapon is just as important as its raw damage. The AKM features a challenging recoil pattern.
At medium range (20m+), damage drop-off begins to impact performance. The AKM retains 85% of its damage, resulting in a mediocre TTK of 0.39s.
๐ Handling & Tactical Mobility
In competitive situations, handling speeds often dictate the winner of a surprise engagement. The AKM features an ADS speed of 240ms, while the SCAR-L transition takes 240ms.
