The SAW is meant to be a support weapon, although it can be used to good effect in CBQ maps due purely to a high rate of fire and tons of ammo. On outdoor maps, however, this gun is better used to supress rushes or guard and an area. The best example of this is bridge, where the saw can be intermitenly fired right down the center of the bridge to blunt an agressive team. Tracers wizzing past you usually make you duck for cover. When prone with the bipod down (press h), the SAW is more accurate then even the M16. This makes it highly effective in defending large open areas. It becomes even more accurate when near a Fire Team Leader or Squad Leader.

When engaging a target over a long distance with the M-249 SAW the key is to fire in short, controlled bursts of 3 to 5 shots at a time. Firing more than that at a time will cause sever muzzle climb and lead to greatly reduced accuracy while leaving a continuous steam of tracers pointing back at your position.
