Also, just because it's a "high rank" weapon doesn't mean it should be nerfed. The FAMAS was a high ranking weapon but ruined R2D. Also, balacing it in FFA and TDM is not real balancing. Barret was only OP in TDM and received a debuff for that mode. I think that should be possible for the M249 too.

Further speed debuff would perhaps be the most fitting.
