The AWM is the PUBG weapon that fires .300 Magnum ammunition.
AWM stands for Arctic Warfare Magnum and is an extremely powerful bolt-action sniper rifle. In PUBG, it uses .300 Magnum cartridges, which give it exceptional damage and armor-penetration performance compared with most other sniper ammunition. Its ammunition is rare because both the rifle and its specialized rounds are generally associated with care packages.
The AWM’s power comes with trade-offs. It has a slow bolt-action firing cycle, limited ammunition availability, and demands accurate shot placement. Its distinctive report and ability to defeat heavily armored targets make it one of PUBG’s most coveted weapons.
The other listed rifles use different cartridges. The Kar98k and MK14 use 7.62mm ammunition, while the M24 uses 7.62mm in standard PUBG configurations. “Magnum” can be confusing because it describes a powerful cartridge class, but the exact ammunition associated with PUBG’s AWM is .300 Magnum.
