Right now, the M249 is OP, but not for the reasons you would expect. The walkspeed weakness is easily mitigated, but the reload speed is dreaful. My suggestions:

- 1.5x switch to speed (this nerf would slow down the walkspeed mitigation)

- 3x switch from speed (this nerf would slow down the walkspeed mitigation)

-  -1.5 reload speed (this nerf would rebalance with the new stats)

-  After four seconds of firing, the damage would be decreased by one for each second, and every second while the gun is unholstered or reloading, one damage would return per second. (there'd be a "resource bar" on the guns icon)

- 1 walkspeed on wearer. (even when the gun is de-equiped, and this would stack with the decreased walkspeed while holding the gun)

I really like this weapon, but it shouldn't be neutered, instead let's rework the stats to make it more fair for both survivors and zombies.
