SKULL-7

"The Key of Destiny"

- Official description


 * For the original version, see FN Minimi/M249.

The SKULL-7 or M249EX (M249 Extra Magazine) is a machine gun built by the Government in Counter-Strike Online based on the FN Minimi/M249.

Overview
SKULL-7 holds 120 rounds each round with special 5.56mm Anti-zombie. To improve its accuracy in mid-long range, it is designed based on a structure that can reduce recoil while firing. The chambered bullets deal critical damage to zombies due to its high penetration rate and firepower.

Advantages

 * High damage to both human and zombies
 * Large magazine capacity
 * High reserved ammunition
 * Equipped with a usable scope
 * Better accuracy when zoomed

 * High stun to zombies

Disadvantages

 * Expensive in match
 * Heavy weight
 * Expensive ammunition

Tactics

 * Wait for the zombies to get nearby to fire accurately. Otherwise, use the scope to engage medium to long range enemies.

 * Try to get to near the Zombie while using SKULL-7 as it has a higher chance of performing headshot.

Counters
