| Description: | Select Guide Rating Featuring specially commissioned artwork, first-hand accounts, and carefully chosen photographs, this is the story of the legendary FN MAG general-purpose machine gun, a workhorse of the world''s armed forces since 1958. For six decades, the 7.62mm FN MAG has been a dominant general-purpose machine gun (GPMG) in worldwide arsenals. Three qualities have guaranteed this enduring status--reliability, ease of operation, and firepower. Several nations have license-produced the weapon as their standard GPMG, including the Americans (M240) and the British (as the L7), and in total more than 80 nations have adopted the FN MAG. The machine gun has also been modified extensively for vehicular, naval, and aircraft platforms, demonstrating versatility in the air, on sea, and on land. |
