Trivia

 * The Belgian made M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) was adopted widely in the late 20th Century as a squad level machine gun, vastly increasing the firepower available to individual squads.


 * The real life M249 SAW uses the 5.56mm round, rather than the 7.62mm it is chambered for in Fallout Tactics.


 * This weapon is still in use in the United States Armed Forces, most notably the Marine Corps and the U.S. Army.
