The SWORD M249 is a lightweight, reliable, and durable Squad Automatic Weapon System that was designed to provide large volumes of suppressive fire for sustained periods. It is a variation of the venerable M-249 SAW that has been in use with the U.S. military since 1986. The M249 project was headed by a team of former United States Army Rangers, Navy Seals, and Special Missions Unit team members who had deployed and trained extensively with the M-249 SAW and variants. Their experience provided valuable input to our world-class engineering and manufacturing team to ensure mission success developing a Squad Automatic Weapon we would be proud to put the SWORD name on.
The M249 is capable of accepting a variety of optics, night aiming devices, and a number of other combat accessories. It is a devastating and lethal weapon system that is essential to any fire-team or small unit.
