Stalcraft Wiki: M249 SAW
STALCRAFT Meta note
The M249 SAW is a 5.56 machine gun with the largest magazine in its class and the tightest hip-fire spread. It has a quick rate of fire and low recoil. The costs are low damage per shot, a short maximum distance and the slowest reload of any machine gun.

Damage Profile
How these values are calculated
STALCRAFT Meta draws the damage chart for the selected upgrade level: full damage up to the falloff start, then a straight-line drop to minimum damage at the falloff end. The TTK Calculator and DPS Table use the same falloff model.
It shows damage per hit only, without ammo, armor or body-part multipliers.
Values at each upgrade level come from EXBO's per-level data.
