M249

M249 SAW or FN Minimi is the name of a LMG type. It is designed by FN Herstal at Belgium (again, the company whose designed P90) and it's the official LMG of the US army. It's great to be maneuvered by a squad in real life (due to it's weight), hence the "surname" "Squad Automatic Weapon". It's a mixture of brilliant clip size, extremely high damage, high muzzle flash, extremely loud fire sound and long reload. It will turn you to a turret when you're shooting because you're freeze. Currently, M249s can only spawn by "hacking" or spawning as a Nu-7  operative.

Tactics
It's convinced to bring a guard or another MTF agent from other teams (whose is armed with Honey Badger s) to help you. It may kill your targets in just a second, but its loud, heavy and high-recoily. It's best to use this gun if you're skilled in firing it and have your tails, or you're a living turret and you'll dead soon. You must kill your enemy loudly, there are no way to stealth it.
