The BGMI 4.3 update is bringing exciting new content for players, and one of the biggest highlights is the arrival of the M1 Garand. According to reports and beta gameplay leaks, this iconic rifle will soon be added to Battlegrounds Mobile India. The weapon is already being tested, and players are excited to try it in the live game.
The M1 Garand in BGMI 4.3 update is expected to be a powerful addition, especially for players who love using DMR weapons. Here is everything we know so far about the gun.
M1 Garand in BGMI 4.3 Update: Weapon Class and Ammo Type
According to reports:
- Weapon Class: Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR)
- Ammo Type: Uses 7.62mm ammunition
- Magazine Capacity: 8-round clip
- Firing Speed: Very fast firing for a DMR
The M1 Garand is a semi-automatic rifle known for its historical importance and its famous “ping” sound when the clip gets ejected. This unique sound effect is also included in the BGMI version, which makes the weapon even more interesting.
M1 Garand Damage and Performance (Beta Stats)
As per reports from the beta testing, the gun currently has very high damage. However, these numbers may change before the final release.
Here are the expected stats:
- Body Damage: Around 68.25
- Headshot Damage: Around 149 to 150 base damage
- Helmet Damage: Can break a Level 1 helmet in one shot
Reports suggest that the M1 Garand “punches very hard” and currently deals more damage than the Mark 14 in the beta version. If these stats remain similar in the live update, it could become one of the strongest DMRs in BGMI.

What Makes M1 Garand Special in BGMI?
The biggest highlight of the M1 Garand is:
- High damage output
- Fast firing speed
- Classic 8-bullet clip system
- Signature “ping” sound after emptying the clip
This weapon can be very useful in mid-range fights and quick knock situations. However, since it only holds 8 bullets per clip, players will need to aim carefully.
BGMI 4.3 Update Release Date
According to reports and the current update cycle, the expected BGMI 4.3 update release date is 16 March 2026. The M1 Garand is expected to arrive in the live game after the completion of the testing.
