The maximum effective range of a point target on the M249 is 800 meters. The maximum effective range of an area target is 1000 meters. The maximum range is about 3600 meters.
Maximum effective range at a point target: 550 metres Maximum effective range at an area target: 800 metres Maximum range: 3600 metres

500 meters at a point target, 800 meters at an area target.
500 meters at a point target, 800 meters at an area target.
500 meters at a point target, 800 meters at an area target.
550 metres at a point target, 800 metres at an area target.
the M16A3 has a maximum effective range of 550 meters for a target and 800 meters for area, the M14A1 has a maximum effective range of 360 meters and 500 meters respectively.
That depends on which maximum range you want to know. The maximum range if you could shoot a bullet and it would not hit anything until it ran out of energy is 3600 meters (MAX Range). The maximum "effective" range for shooting at an individual or specific point is 500 meters (Point Target) or 600 meters at an area or group without hitting a specific target (Area Target ).
In short the M249 is effective up to 1000 meters to cover an area target which the gun is designed to do.
Area target: Tripod - 1100 meters. That's by the book. In real life depends on a gunner and weather.
