If it was nerfed to 45, it would be inferior to the minigun in any way except range and accuracy. Stop trying to nerf it, its childish. The minigun is a medium rank gun while the m249 is a prestige weapon. M249 would also beat minigun in walkspeed reduction

My point is that the '''M249 shouldn't 2-shot. '''Yeah the minigun already beats the M249 in RPM and (if the M249 gets the TDM nerf) damage, but the M249 is superior in range and accuracy.

M249 has way more accuracy than the minigun, With the minigun, you're held back with a long rev-up time, -8 walkspeed, and low accuracy.

The only drawbacks of using the M249 over the minigun are the longer reload time, lower RPM, and lower ammo.

The M249 doesn't need cover in the middle of a fight. The minigun does. And the minigun will miss most of its shots. Cough cough reloading cough cough.
