SAW

1. Acronym used by the United States Armed Forces for 'squad automatic weapon'. A SAW is a fully automatic machine gun (as opposed to an assault rifle) that is usually issued to one soldier of a team of soldiers.

Generally used as a reference to the current machine gun designated as M249, or the FN Minimi machine gun. This gun can carry 100 or 200 bullets in a single magazine and fires between 750 to 1000 rounds a minute.

Previous examples of squad automatic weapons in combat are the M-60 during the Vietnam conflict, and the Browning Automatic Rifle used in World War II.

2. A horror/suspence movie made in 2004, starring Leigh Whannell, Cary Elwesk, Danny Glover, Dina Meyer and Monica Potter.

saw

An acronym for Squad Automatic Weapon, the saw is a 5.56mm light machinegun that has been made to replace the old M60 machinegun. The SAW features a unique "bucket" design, where ammo is ribbon-fed out of the bucket of ammo held underneat the gun. It's 200 round capacity and amazing 800m working range make it a favorite of today's modern armies and special forces, but its accuracy is far lower than most weapons with the same range.
One quick flash is all you'll see, as you'll be dead long before you hear the report.
