Rust Weapons Table 2026
Every gun in one place: damage per shot, fire rate, effective range, recoil level and time needed to learn the spray pattern. Sort by any column, filter by category — assault rifles, SMGs, shotguns, snipers.
The "Spray" column shows how many hours of practice it takes to control recoil by hand. AK-47 — over 200 hours, MP5 — about 30, SAR — 10. Or you can skip the grind: Rust macros compensate the pattern automatically, and cheats with no recoil remove recoil at the software level.

Weapon Recoil in Rust — Why It Matters
Every automatic weapon in Rust has a fixed spray pattern. The first bullet goes where you aim, then the crosshair drifts along a set trajectory. AK-47 pulls up and left, then snaps right. LR-300 climbs straight up. MP5 kicks vertically with slight horizontal drift.
Pro players spend hundreds of hours on AimTrain servers mastering these patterns. Most people use either mouse macros that move the cursor along a mirrored trajectory, or software with a no recoil feature that strips recoil at the game level.
FAQ
Which weapon deals the most damage in Rust?
For single-shot damage — shotguns (Pump and Spas-12 at 210). For DPS — AK-47 and LR-300: 40 damage at 450-500 RPM. Bolt hits for 80 per shot but has a slow fire rate.
Which weapon has the hardest recoil?
AK-47 has the toughest spray in Rust. The barrel pulls up and left, then right, with random deviations. Learning the pattern takes 200+ hours of practice. LR-300 is easier — the recoil is more consistent.
How to remove recoil in Rust?
Three options: learn spray patterns manually on UKN/Aim Train servers, use mouse macros that compensate the pattern automatically, or use cheats with a no recoil feature that removes recoil at the software level.
No Recoil — spray on target without training
Macros compensate recoil automatically. AK, LR-300, MP5 — all weapons on point.
