Strategy
The M249 is capable of holding a hundred rounds of ammo per magazine similar to that of the Tommy Gun but it has greater combat power and firing rate.
However, since the firing mode is only full auto, the M429 suffers from high recoil, making it very unstable when aiming.. It’s best to shoot it in short bursts to achieve higher accuracy from longer distances.
A bipod is usally (a two-legged gun suspension that supports the barrel) is recommended to be attached to the weapon that it would be much more stable when firing.
Using the weapon under the cover of thick and tall grass or on the UAZ can help you have higher rates of accuracy.
It uses 5.56 not 7.62
