Machine Guns

Daewoo K3 Paratrooper

Chazz Nygaard (Joshua Close) illegally owns a Daewoo K3 Paratrooper with rail forearm, vertical grip, and PIP collapsible stock. The K3 is meant to be a stand-in for an M249 SAW, and Chazz is said to have purchased the weapon from a friend who works in the Minnesota National Guard base Camp Ripley. He stores it in a secret compartment in his gun safe which Lester hides evidence to frame him for Pearls murder. Although the weapon is said to be an M249, it is clearly recognizable as a K3 by the shape of the gas tube and front sight (the show is filmed in British Columbia, where the K3 is always used as a stand-in for the M249).
