The FN M249S, a semi-automatic version of the M249 Saw light machine gun, was originally developed by FN Herstal as the FN Minimi and adopted by the US military in 1988. The rifle features the signature 18.5 inches FN cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel and operates from a closed-bolt position. Chambered in 5.56 x 45mm NATO, the rifle will accept both magazine and linked ammunition belt and offers a 4 to 6.5 lb trigger pull out of the box.
