The M249 is the U.S. military designation for the FN MINIMI light machine gun (LMG). The M249 provides infantry squads with the heavy volume of fire of a machine gun combined with accuracy and portability approaching that of a rifle.
It is advisable to fire the M249 in short bursts of 3-5 shots to reduce muzzle climb and conserve ammunition. Prolonged fire leads to lessened accuracy and uncontrollable sway.
