The M249-SAW is a very expensive weapon, with a high rate of fire and a 100-round belt. Each round does not inflict a particularly high amount of damage, and it isn't particularly accurate unless fired in single shots or short bursts, but the spray power from an M249 is almost unbeatable. Due to the fact it carries a large ammunition bin, the advised way of using an M249 is to shoot anything that is vaguely out of the ordinary. Shoot round corners as you jump round them. Shoot at anything that moves.

You can use this in a closed space, like [[../cs_office/]], or a large place, like [[../de_aztec/]]. For close spaces, shoot at every corner, and for large spaces, when you are being shot at, keep your finger on the trigger and search for the enemy. When you see some red blood, keep it there and either: spray (if it is close-range) or burst (in either situation, preferably long-range). Also, for both situations, use it for covering fire when facing the group (or person, please do it in group-vs-group), aka shooting at the group without bursting. The new players would retreat, and the pros would stay, leaving your team to kill the pros, unless they are smart enough to retreat once their whole team retreats or everyone besides the pro died.
Although the M249 is not as good for personal defense as an SMG, a shotgun, or an AR, you can still use it to fend for yourself. The recoil prevents you from taking precision shots, so aim center mass, and hopefully the recoil will lift your bullet hose to their head and take them down quickly. Keep in mind that SMGs and Rifles are more accurate and deadly, however they also have lower capacity. You can take down as many as 7 people without reloading your M249, so it is best used for flanking because it isn't as deadly head on as the other weapons.

When you see some red blood, keep it there and either: spray (if it is close-range) or burst (in either situation, preferably long-range). Also, for both situations, use it for covering or supressing fire when facing the group (or person, please do it in group-vs-group), aka shooting at the group without bursting. The new players would retreat, and the pros would stay, leaving your team to kill the pros, unless they are smart enough to retreat once their whole team retreats or everyone besides the pro died.
This weapon is somewhat like the AWP with the scout; it is expensive, and it is sort of hard to use effectively. People also say this weapon is a stupid person's weapon, and pros don't use this, but that is false. If you can kill three people using this with a expert level (bots), then you are a pro. Otherwise, keep practicing.
