|quotetext=The M249, or Minimi, is a staple belt-fed light machine gun, among the most popular of its kind in the Mazes. 5.56mm, full-auto only, this weapon comes standard with a bipod and a 200-round belt box, is light enough to fit in a (sufficiently large) bag if needed, yet it is capable of filling the air with bullets at a moment's notice. Though there is no semi-automatic mode, do you sincerely feel like you need it when you have two hundred rounds on tap?
