"An adapted version of the Belgian original, the M249 was modified to conform to the United States design requirements. Since Dec 1st, 2011 update, M249 SAW features black paint scheme, with a special desert camo skin available through "Desert supply drop" only. Although considered an Elite weapon, the M249 SAW - like the UMP45 - features an all-black paint scheme, compared to the usual tan and black paint scheme of the other Elite weapons. In close quarters, the weapon's high fire rate and damage will trump even some submachine guns, although its spread is very high, making best for medium ranges and suppressing fire. This means the user should try to fire in medium length bursts of 5-10 rounds per burst to stay accurate. It can easily keep its sights on a target with minimal adjustment, but it will start to become inaccurate after many rounds have been fired. The weapon itself performs very well in combat. When the weapon was first released, it was said to fire the 7.62x51mm round, as well as having a recoil reducing muzzle brake, giving reason for its high damage and low recoil. It features a 80-round magazine, low recoil, and a decent fire rate for the amount of damage it puts out.

Additionally, it is mounted on the AIL Raider. In the Special Forces expansion pack, it is also used by the Navy SEALs (both handheld and stationary), while only the stationary version is also used by the British SAS. The M249 also appears as a turret, called M249 LMG, that will spawn near certain control points that are held by the USMC and the EU, although without usable iron sights and infinite ammo. The M249 SAW is a weapon featured in Battlefield 2 and is the first weapon unlocked in the Support kit for the United States Marine Corps.
