I can never remember which is which.

A full auto saw would be my weapon of choice for SHTF fun. A semi auto one is just a heavy AR.
Even in full auto, I'd only want it if someone else was paying for the ammo. 850 RPM gets expensive

$5000 is the rumored price. That kind of money buys a lot of fun toys.
Take away the full auto and it's really just a 20" barrel AR with a 200 round magazine. Cheaper to buy three D60 mags.

So instead of Squad Automatic Weapon it becomes a Semi-Automatic Weapon?
Bringing this back to life..
Got a survey from FN America about the M249S.
Told them I'd consider buying at the $3k mark (through questions throughout the survey).
If anyone else got it, start filling it out - it's the only way they'll know how much people will spend on it.

I know lol. I'm just cheap.
Is that the production cost or the .MIL cost?
6K? oof. too rich for my blood.
That was also one of the various questions - at what price would you question the quality (I think I said like 2K).
The other was how much do you think the FA variant would cost more than the Semi. I read it literally at "cost more", not the total cost of the FA model. So I just said $500 more, guess I could've said $1K. I figured that majority of the components were similar.
If you are going to buy a semi version of a squad weapon, why not an M27 clone?
Which I guess, would basically be a HK416 clone.

Lol transport as ten rounds then link them at the range 
I am left eye dominant and when I used to shoot these standing from the shoulder it would fling brass into my right forearm and after a couple bursts I would bruise like a peach. When ever I see a 249 I am always reminded of that
