List of 5 best Light machine guns (LMGs) in PUBG Mobile and BGMI
1. MG3
MG3 is very famous among the players due to its high rate of fire and magazine capacity. It has two firing rate options. Those are 660 RPM and 990 RPM. It is one of the best close-combat weapons in the game due to its low horizontal and vertical recoil.

5. Tank Light Machinegun
The Light Machinegun which is placed on the roof of the tank is also one of the top contenders of the best LMG list. This weapon is best for providing constant cover fire to teammates while they charge with the tank.
