===Vice City Stories=== | The '''M249''' is a heavy assault weapon featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] (where it replaces the [[M-60|M60]] from [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] to better suit the game's chronology) and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. It is based on the real life [[wp:M249 Squad Automatic Weapon|M249 SAW]]. | ||

[[Image:M249Hud.gif|left|HUD icon in GTA Vice City Stories.]] | |||
In GTA Vice City Stories, the weapon is a powerful, one shot kill gun that holds 100 rounds per magazine, but is slightly less effective than the [[Minigun]]. Unlike the M60 from GTA Vice City and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]], the M249 has an unique firing and reloading animation, no longer copied from the assault rifle animation. | |||
The M249 is a weapon of choice for several [[Rampages]] and is featured during "[[Farewell to Arms]]" | |||
===The Ballad Of Gay Tony=== | ===The Ballad Of Gay Tony=== | ||
The M249 in The Ballad of Gay Tony (referred to as the '''Advanced MG''') is the first machine gun to be featured in the GTA IV era. The weapon is placed in the [[Assault Rifle]] slot, unlike in the [[GTA III Era]] where the M249 would occupy the Heavy Weapons slot. It has a 200 round magazine capacity and high rate of fire but has less stopping power than the [[AK-47|Assault]] and [[AR-15|Carbine Rifles]] and is less accurate due to the weapon being fired from the hip rather than the shoulder, making headshots more difficult. Unlike GTA III era machine guns, which can destroy vehicles in just a few rounds, the Advanced MG in TBoGT requires sustained fire to destroy a vehicle. The weapon is best suited for engaging multiple enemies at close to medium ranges. It is first given to Luis in the mission [[Going Deep]] for [[Ray Bulgarin]]. Additionally, law enforcement use the Advanced MG instead of the Carbine Rifle when firing upon the player from a helicopter. | [[Image:AdvancedMG-TBOGT.png|thumb|250px|The Advanced MG in The Ballad of Gay Tony.]] | ||
