The M249 squad automatic weapon (SAW), formally Squad Automatic Weapon, 5.56mm, M249 is an American version of the FN Minimi manufactured in the United States and used by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The gun was introduced in 1984, judged the most effective weapon to address the lack of automatic firepower in small units. It was the only one of a number of candidate designs to successfully pass tests. Tactically, it is employed at squad level and is operated by a designated automatic rifleman. The gun provides the heavy volume of fire of a machine gun with accuracy approaching that of a rifle.

Originally modelled in 3ds max 8. Final images rendered with Vray.
