Playerunknown's Battlegrounds is a survival shooter designed by Brendan "Playerunknown" Greene, the same person who created the Battle Royale mod for Arma 3 and was consulted in the creation of H1Z1: King of the Kill. In Battlegrounds, up to 100 players are airdropped onto a fictional locale, and fight until only one remains, with a blue wall of electricity chasing players into one final confrontation. Weapons are customizable with various parts that can be found in the field. Some attachments have a weapon specific variant of them. For example, the flash hider has a version for SMGs and assault rifles. These attachments include:
Vertical foregrip
Angled foregrip
Thumb Grip
Light Grip
Half Grip
Flash hider (SMG/Sniper rifle/DMR/AR, S12K): Hides the weapons muzzle flash
Suppressor (Pistol/SMG/Sniper rifle/DMR/AR, S12K): Suppresses the weapons firing report, but does not completely silence it, being somewhat realistic in its function.
Compensator (SMG/Sniper rifle/DMR/AR, S12K): Reduces muzzle climb during automatic fire.
Choke: tightens the pellet spread of the shotguns.
Duckbill: horizontally flattens the pellet spread of the shotguns.
Bullet loops: enhances reload speed by adding a shell/cartridge holder on the buttstock of the weapon.
Ext. Quickdraw magazine (Pistol/SMG/Sniper rifle/DMR/AR, S12K): combination of the two above
Cheek pad: reduces scope sway while aiming
Tactical stock
Extended Stock for Micro Uzi
Sights include:
Red dot sight
Holographic sight
2x scope (Aimpoint)
3x scope
4x scope (ACOG)
6x scope
8x scope
15x scope
As similarly seen in the game State of Decay, ammunition calibers in PUBG are simplified for the sake of gameplay. For instance, the SKS, AKM, M24, Kar98k, DP-28 and the Nagant revolver all fire the same "7.62MM" ammunition, and the 9x39mm VSS Vintorez uses the same "9MM" ammo as the 9x19mm handguns and submachine guns.
Handguns
Beretta 92F
The Beretta 92F appears in the game as the "P92", and can be found in random buildings. It can be fitted with a suppressor, a red dot sight and all three magazine variations. It uses general "9MM" ammunition. Extended magazines raise the magazine size to 20 cartridges from its original 15.
The Chiappa Rhino 60DS appears in the release version of the game as the "R45", and will be found in random locations exclusive to the map, Miramar. It can only be fitted with a red dot sight and is apparently chambered in ".45ACP" ammo with speedloaders.

Glock 18C
The Glock 18C was added in the June 2017 monthly update, as the "P18C". It can be fitted with suppressor, a red dot sight and all three magazine variations, as well as being able to switch between semi and full-auto fire modes. It uses general "9MM" ammunition. Extended magazines raise the magazine size to 25 cartridges from its original 17. Like most of the guns in the game, the fire selector is animated.

Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 appears as the "R1895", and can be found in random areas exclusive to the map, Erangel. It can be fitted with a suppressor, which is possible and viable with the real gun as well due to its ammunition and firing mechanism. It uses general "7.62MM" ammunition, which curiously can be used in rifles as well.

Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch UMP9
The Heckler & Koch UMP appears in the game as "UMP-9", and therefore is chambered for "9mm" ammunition. It can be identified as a 9mm variant by its curved magazine. It can be fitted with foregrips, all muzzle devices and magazine variants, as well as all sights up to the 4x scope. Extended magazines raise the magazine size to 40 cartridges from its original 30.
The Micro Uzi appears in the game under its proper name, and is chambered for "9mm" ammunition. It can be fitted with all muzzle devices, magazine variants and a stock, which is a unique attachment for the Uzi. Extended magazines raise the magazine size to 35 cartridges from its original 25.
The TDI Vector appears in the game simply as the "Vector", and is chambered for ".45ACP" ammunition. It can be fitted with vertical foregrips, all muzzle devices, magazine variants, sights up to the 4x scope and a tactical stock.

M1928/A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson appears in the game as the Tommy Gun, and is chambered for ".45ACP" ammunition. After the September 2017 update, the Tommy Gun was moved from a supply drop-exclusive weapon to an uncommon spawn all over the map. It can be fitted with a suppressor, a vertical foregrip and all magazine attachments. The vertical foregrip will essentially convert the appearance of the Tommy Gun to that of the earlier M1928 version, while the extended magazine attachments will increase its initial capacity of 30 rounds (in box magazines) to 50 rounds (in drum magazines).

Shotguns
Beretta 686
The Beretta 686 appears in the game as the "S686", and can be found in random buildings. Note that unlike the picture below, it's completely blued and has golden bird engravings on the side of the receiver ingame. It can be fitted with a choke for a tighter pellet spread, as well as "bullet loops" for the stock for faster reloading. It has the longest effective range of all shotguns, especially with the choke. The reload animation shows that the gun has ejectors, and ejects two spent cases even if it's fired only once.
The Winchester Model 1897 appears in the game as the "S1897", and can be found in random buildings. It can be fitted with a choke or duckbill for a tighter pellet spread, as well as "bullet loops" for the stock for faster reloading.

Note: As of the May 2018 update, the now officially classed Designated Marksman Rifles (i.e. Mini-14, Mk14, SKS and SLR) can now utilize both Assault Rifle and/or Sniper Rifle attachments interchangably. Assault rifles no longer have the capability of using the 8X and 15X scopes for balance reasons.
AKM
The AKM appears in the game under its actual name, and fires the game's mysterious "7.62mm" ammunition. It can be found in random buildings, and can be equipped with all magazine variants, sights sights up to 6x scope (as it has a picatinny rail on the receiver cover plate), and muzzle devices.

Kbs wz.96 Beryl M762
The M762 version of the Polish Kbs wz.96 Beryl is an upcoming assault rifle that will appear in the game simply as the "Beryl M762" and fires "7.62mm" ammunition. It can be found in random spawns locations and can also be equipped with all magazine variants, foregrips, muzzle devices and sights up to 6X. It features semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto firing modes.
The L1A1 with picatinny rail on the upper receiver was added in the May 2018 update and appears in the game under the British Army designation of "SLR" and fires "7.62mm" ammunition. It can be found randomly in buildings and can be equipped with all the muzzle devices, sights, and scopes, a cheek pad, as well as an extended magazine increasing its capacity from 10 rounds to 20 rounds.
The M16A4 appears under its actual name in-game and fires the "5.56mm" ammunition. It is fitted with a standard, non-railed handguard (as seen in the image below), and therefore cannot accept any foregrips. It can be found in random buildings, and can be equipped with all magazine variants, muzzle devices and sights up to the 6X.
The Mk 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle was added in the August 2017 update as the "Mk14" and is only found in crates that are parachuted in, known as "Care Packages".

Norinco QBU-88/KBU-97A
The Norinco QBU-88 is a designated marksman rifle added in the July 2018 update and appears in the game simply as the "QBU" and fires "5.56mm" ammunition, probably standing-in for its native 5.8x42mm ammunition (although its exported cousin, the KBU-97A is chambered in NATO 5.56x45mm). It is an exclusive world spawn to the Sanhok map (replacing the Ruger Mini-14 there) and comes with an attached bipod by default which promotes higher stability when prone. It can also be equipped with all the muzzle devices, sights as well as an extended magazine increasing its capacity from 10 rounds to 20 rounds.

Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k appears in the game as the "Kar98k", and can be found in random buildings. It can mount all of the sights, as it has a picatinny rail in place of its original rear sight. It also accepts all muzzle devices, and can be fitted with a cheek pad for reduced scope sway or rifle bullet loops for quicker reloads. It fires the "7.62mm" ammunition; while Wehrmacht-manufactured rifles were historically chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser, many post-war Karabiner 98ks were indeed rechambered in 7.62x51mm NATO by the militaries of countries such as Israel and Norway. The player will reload the rifle with individual cartridges when there are rounds left in the magazine, but use stripper clips if all rounds are expended from the weapon.

M24A2 SWS
The M24A2 appears in the game as the "M24", and as of the May 2018 update, can now be found as a rare world loot spawn instead of "Care Packages". It can be equipped with a sniper rifle suppressor or a flash hider and all the sights and scopes, as well as magazines and a cheek pad. Extended magazines increases its capacity of 5 rounds to 7 rounds. It fires the "7.62mm" ammunition.
The VSS Vintorez appears in the game as itself and as of the July 2017 update, can only be found as a rare loot spawn instead of "Care Packages". It can only be equipped with a cheek pad and magazine attachments, as it comes with its integrated suppressor and a fixed PSO-1 scope. Extended magazines increases its capacity of 10 rounds to 20 rounds. It fires the same "9MM" ammunition as the Beretta or the UMP-9, even though it uses 9x39mm ammunition in real life.
The Winchester 1894 appears in the release version of the game as the "Win94" exclusive to the map, Miramar. It is apparently chambered in ".45ACP" (presumably standing-in for .45 Long Colt) and can only equip a rifle bullet loop for quicker reloads. It has a capacity of 8 rounds.
The Degtyaryov DP-28 machine gun appears in the 1.0 release version of the game and can be found as a uncommon loot spawn exclusive to the map, Erangel. It is chambered in "7.62mm" ammunition in a 47-round pan magazine, and can only accept scopes up to a 6X magnification.
