Currently trying to decide b/w the M249 SAW or the SA 80 LSW. Stats-wise, the M249 is superior but the description of the SA 80 LSW reads that it mounts a 4x scope.
Is the accuracy of the SA 80 therefore superior to that of the M249?

On sniping,yes.Range would recommand it too.But it cannot receive bipod.To tell you the truth,I always preferred SA80 LSW.The 4 round burst is indeed more accurate,when laser scope is fitted on.
My AW specialists' weapon of choice!Morgan and Ice have performed wonders with it.

Is there a difference between the SA 80 IW and the SA 80 LSW?

Bought at Shady's? I thought Shady was the one with the three hireable mercs?

You're right. :wb:
It's Tony's mech guy,in San Mona.Ugh,can't remember his name,havent played UC for a while.He has the face of Rat from regular JA2,and gives indications about all allowed modifications on Colt weapons(barrel,trigger group,scope adaptors,etc).
Isn't "Shady" written on his store walls?

It depends on your needs really.

I'm partial to the M249, as later in the game volume of fire becomes more important. I can't remember whether the LSW shoots 4 or 5 bullets in a burst, but Grey shirts will actually survive four bullets sometimes, and any enemy that survives a round will hurt you pretty good. With a good auto weapons merc in a good position and a rod and spring, you can count on 3 kills a turn, on enemies whose torsos are exposed, from an M249.

The downside is that those headshots through windows are a bit trickier. With my main merc I carried a rod/spring M249 and kept his rod/spring AK-107 from earlier in the game for a gun that can do low AP precision shots and still can fire off a decent burst without having to pay the draw to get the machinegun out in a tight situation.

The SA80 LSW is a good compromise if you just want to take one gun- more accurate, if a tad slower, for single shots than an assault rifle, and good for the bursts.

And if you're desperate of having a scoped "rifle" early in the game, the LSW in Port Kip is the best that you'll have at that point (unless you've been lucky to have all the parts for the scoped M4A1 in Calisto). I keep the LSW until I get three other scoped guns and a SAW.

I actually prefer the LSW to the russian Elcan guns, it just seems to shoot better to me. Ammo is never a real problem for me though, because I try to play more of a "finesse" type game, fewer missed shots, more headshots, and very rare occurances of burst fire.

We have the same style of play, but with one real difference...I like to rock'n roll with the SAW, PK, RPD and RPK! harharhar!
