Default Re: M-249/Minimi SAW question

I did some checking and if we ignore any gun of this type that is listed as a [2] ALL of the M249 variants in the game ( 7 nations ) are HEK 6 and accuracy 24 and all of the nations that use the "FN" varient ( 12 nations-- C9 in Canada, F-89 in Australia, "FN-Minimi" in some and "5.56 Minimi" in others ) with the exception of the British version are HEK 6 and Accuracy 21. A range of 8 is common to all.

Both weapons come from the same design but the Minimi and the M249 are not exactly the same weapon. The weight is different and there are different configuations. It would appear that the cartridge used in the Minimi/M249 (SS109 (U.S. M855) is common to both. I have only done a bit of research into this and cannot explain why there are two different accuracies for these weapons. Perhaps someone else on the forum there might know if there is any long range accuracy differences between the two guns ???

However, the one oddball is the Brit version and that should have the same stats as the other "FN" versions
