- Official description
 * For original version, see FN Minimi / M249.

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

Overview
Skull-7 is a belt-fed, anti-zombie machine gun that fires 120 rounds of 5.56mm Anti-zombie cartridge. To improve its accuracy in mid to long range combat, it is designed based on a structure that can reduce recoil while firing. Although the special bullets inflict critical damage to zombies with its high penetration rate, it is heavy and has low rate of fire.

 * Better accuracy when zoomed
 * Positive spray pattern
 * Short reload time for a machine gun
 * High stun to zombies

Disadvantages

Official description
An anti-zombie variant of the FN Minimi, Skull-7 is fed with 120 rounds of 5.56×45mm Anti-zombie ammunition. It does higher damage to zombies and has high stun power. However, this weapon has low rate of fire and is quite heavy to carry around in battle.

Tactics

 * Wait for the zombies to get nearby to fire accurately. Otherwise, use the scope to engage medium and/to long range enemies.
 * When you're going to reload SKULL-7, Change to Secondary Weapon and escape to other area while you're shooting the Zombie with your Secondary Weapon, work best with Dual Infinity.
 * Try to get to near the Zombie while using SKULL-7 as it has a higher chance of performing headshot.

Counters

 * Charge Skull-7 user while he/she is reloading.
 * Avoid direct combat with the user because 120 rounds of Skull-7 can inflict 2640 ~ 10860HP of damage to a zombie!
