3. 🔮 M1 Garand's Current Standing and Future Outlook
· Many players compare the M1 Garand to sniper rifles like the AMR due to its appearance, but it is actually a DMR weapon like the Mini 14.

· Since the M1 Garand is in its early release stage, the BGMI development team is expected to monitor its usage rate.
· If its usage rate is low, there's a possibility of a damage buff in future updates.
· If the damage is buffed, it could find a place in competitive play, which could then lead to increased usage in regular classic matches.
· However, considering the aggressive playstyle and preference for close-quarters combat among current BGMI players, the overall future of DMR/sniper rifles remains uncertain.
