M249 | Nebula Crusader (Field-Tested)

A strong open-area LMG, the M249 is the perfect choice for players willing to trade a slow fire rate for increased accuracy and a high ammo capacity. It has been custom painted to look like a classic arcade cabinet. You can use it, but you better put up a quarter first
