Fn M249s 5.56x45mm Nato 18.5in Barrel 30+1 or 200rd Belt Capacity

The FN M249S brings the legacy of the FN MINIMI and the U.S. military M249 SAW into a civilian-legal, semi-automatic light machine gun platform built around an 18.5-inch cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel with a 1:7" twist, delivering consistent 5.56x45mm NATO accuracy and longevity whether you run linked belt ammunition or standard STANAG magazines for 30+1 capacity, and can be fed with a 200-round belt for extended fire at the range or on training lanes. The fixed hydraulic buffer stock and non-slip buttplate tame recoil and reduce shooter fatigue during sustained strings, while the closed-bolt operation, steel receiver, removable steel heat shield, crossbolt safety and optics-ready top rail give the M249S the control and modularity demanded by competitive shooters, weapons instructors and armorers who need a realistic squad automatic weapon platform for marksmanship, suppressive-fire drills and institutional training. At 40.75" overall and weighing 17.2 lbs, this semi-auto belt/mag-capable rifle bridges service rifle ergonomics with crew-served capability, and requires transfer through an FFL; it's a rugged, authentic FN commercial rendition of a proven military design suitable for range, training, and demonstration use.
