Bonehead3535 105 Posted August 21, 2012 I prefer mk48 mod 0, since it has a red dot scope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenbreakfast 231 Posted August 21, 2012 See how long you can survive, while doing things which involve enough risk to keep the game interesting.Gear isn't a goal, gear is tools. You do the same thing with a mak as you do with an M249 just one works a little better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Gunslinger_ 46 Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) M249 is a great gun, but be aware of a few things:-Spray-tastic. Even in 3-5 round bursts, your aim gets knocked back quite a bit, and at longer ranges you'll see horizontal drift.-Short range: Effective range is 300m, 350m if you can walk your shots. Be aware you'll be out-ranged by pretty much everyone with military-grade weapons, but you'll saw them in half at short range.-Work that spray to your advantage. This thing is savage when you have the high ground shooting at prone targets. One decent burst will put a line of bullets right along their body, and will cripple if not kill them outright.-LOUD: 'nuff said. Don't use it for zombie slaying (as tempting as it is) because you'll end up fighting a never-ending tide until you run that massive 200rd box dry.If you can, search for some military choppers (find a sniper to cover you) and look for a Mk48. Range is 400-500m, the 7.62mm round flies straighter, faster and hits harder, and the red dot sight is a beautiful thing to use. The M240 has the same power and range improvements because it also uses 7.62, but has lousy iron sights and is an absolute pig to lug around. Keep the M249 if there's any dillema. I used the M249 for quite a while and learned it's quirks, liked it a lot, and pretty much creamed myself when I found a Mk48. If you've gotten the hang of the M249, you really notice how much nicer the Mk48 is to use. Edited August 21, 2012 by _Gunslinger_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
