Come back when the FN MAG has an almost identical variant to it in use in militaries 70 years from now.

>ammo belt only
mag fed variants of the minimi have disappeared as they were deemed unreliable
>no hand guard

>fire on the move
not relevant since WWI

>>2570891
>Fire on the move

>awkward ammo belt only
It's a GPMG.And the M249's mechanism is a piece of garbage that damages both the magazine's feed lips and the bolt carrier.
>no hand guard
you can hold the barrel shroud and the bipod
>can't fire on the move
That's where you're wrong kiddo!None fires a MG on the moove - it's a waste of ammo.During advance the MG is used for suppression.It's calle leep-frogging.
