MG556 [m-249]
machine gun 556

-SWORD Internationals MG556 [M-249] is the accumulation of a 3-year project to improve, enhance, and produce a variation of the venerable M-249 SAW in use with U.S. Military since 1986. The MK-249 project was headed by a team of former United States Army Rangers, Navy Seals and Special Missions Unit team members. Each team member had deployed and trained extensively with the M-249 SAW and variants, and this 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 International name on.
The MG556 [M-249] was designed to provide a lightweight, reliable, and durable Squad Automatic Weapon System. Effective by design at providing large volumes of suppressive fire for sustained periods, while also being light enough and ergonomic enough to be individual operator carried during CQB and MOUT operations. The MG556 [M-249] is capable of accepting a variety of optics, night aiming devices, and a number of other combat accessories. The MK-249 SAW provides a devastating and lethal weapon system that is essential to any fire-team or small unit.
