The SAW (Sqaud Automatic Weapon) is probably one of the least effective weapons in the game unless used properly. Many people do not use it properly and this is why this next tactic works much of the time. | |||
People are afraid of SAWs in CQB because it has almost 7 times the amount of ammo per magazine than the M4 or M16 and because it has a higher rate of fire. However, given the rate of fire of the SAW and the 5.56 bullets it is shooting this makes for some pretty bad kickback. Unlike the M-16/M-4's kickback system, the M-249 has a vertical rise to it. Even then, most people usually get their [buttocks] handed to them in a fight with a SAW. Really it is a lot easier to take a SAW out than it is to take out an M-4. | People are afraid of SAWs in CQB because it has almost 7 times the amount of ammo per magazine than the M4 or M16 and because it has a higher rate of fire.

All you have to do when fighting a SAW is crouch and shoot in bursts or auto at the OPFOR's stomach. Unless he can jerk it down pretty fast and keep it there, he is not going to kill you. In fact, if you drop down soon enough and start shooting at the right time you can kill the [TOS Violation] and never get a scratch all because he'll shoot right over your head. | All you have to do when fighting a SAW is crouch and shoot in bursts or auto at the OPFOR's stomach.
