The '''FN MAG''' is a general purpose machine gun based on an upside-down [[Browning Automatic Rifle]] action with a feeding mechanism derived from the [[MG42]], developed in Belgium during the 1950s and adopted by many countries around the world, including the U.S.  The United States Military made some design changes and adopted it currently as the M240, however it is not identical to the FN MAG used in Europe, South America and the Middle East prior to the 1990s.  The MAG-58 was the mainstay of foreign armies until the U.S. finally got rid of the M-60 in the early 1990s and adopted their own version of the FN MAG.  There are three major incarnations of the FN MAG, in movies.

3) U.S. incarnation known as the '''M240'''. All major variants of the FN MAG are very similar, except the earlier variants had no heat shields around the barrels and the buttstocks were wood.  The newest incarnation, the U.S. M240 added heat shields and synthetic stock, plus a modified flash hider.

Latest revision as of 22:57, 9 November 2024

The FN MAG is a general purpose machine gun based on an upside-down Browning Automatic Rifle action with a feeding mechanism derived from the MG42, developed in Belgium during the 1950s and adopted by many countries around the world, including the U.S. The United States Military made some design changes and adopted it currently as the M240, however it is not identical to the FN MAG used in Europe, South America and the Middle East prior to the 1990s. The MAG-58 was the mainstay of foreign armies until the U.S. finally got rid of the M-60 in the early 1990s and adopted their own version of the FN MAG. There are three major incarnations of the FN MAG, in movies.

1) The original MAG-58 (which is the incarnation seen before the early 1990s).

2) The L7 Machine Gun, adopted by Great Britain and used by some Commonwealth countries

3) U.S. incarnation known as the M240. All major variants of the FN MAG are very similar, except the earlier variants had no heat shields around the barrels and the buttstocks were wood. The newest incarnation, the U.S. M240 added heat shields and synthetic stock, plus a modified flash hider.

A scaled down light machine gun version chambered in 5.56mm was developed in the 1970s, the FN Minimi.

Specifications

(1958-present)

Type: General-Purpose Machine Gun

Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO

Capacity: Belt Fed: 100 rounds standard, 50-round side-mounted soft ammo bags used by the US Army (officially known as M240B Combat Ammo Pack)
