in russian X chechem maps, the russians have the same weopow and have Zoon, but there is no SAW249 in game, so why Russians have zoon?

Because all Conventional faction LMG kits must have 4x zoom for gameplay issues, all LMG's will eventually receive scopes

As Rampo said - it's just a place holder (Something that is in the game to represent something else) until the Dev's finish off the LMGs with scopes.

Translation:

In Russian versus Chechen maps, the Russian light machine gun (PKM) has a 4x zoom whilst the Chechen PKM (despite being the same model) does not. Why is this?

Answer:

The Chechen faction are a non-conventional force in a similar vein to the Iraqi Insurgent and Taliban factions. All of these factions have light machine guns with only basic iron sights, to simulate the difference in equipment availability between the conventional and non-conventional factions.

All conventional factions (US Army, USMC, British, PLA, MEC and Russians) have a 4x zoom scope on their light machine guns. Some of the necessary models have not yet been completed, and therefore the 4x zoom has been implemented on these weapons without a scope as a placeholder until the appropriate models have been completed.

Hope that answers your question.
