An automatic, air-cooled open-bolt machine gun with an integrated folding bipod, it fires the full sized 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge at a respectable 700 rounds per minute, ideal for target suppression and damaging light vehicles. Due to its weight, unsupported fire is not recommended. The top cover has a rail system that allows for the mounting of optics."

General Information
The FN MAG is a Belgian 7.62 mm general-purpose machine gun, designed in the early 1950s. It has been used by more than 80 countries, and it has been made under licence in several countries, including Argentina, Canada, Egypt, India and the United Kingdom.

Gameplay
The FN MAG is available to three factions and features different sights depending on faction:


 * The FN MAG lends itself to a defensive or at least stationary play style, falling between the more portable automatic rifles and the emplaced heavy machine guns.
 * All variants of the weapon have a deployable bipod.
 * The FN MAG round box holds 75 rounds. The PKM round box on the other hand holds 100 rounds.

Tips

 * Like its ex-Soviet Russian rival, the PKM, the FN MAG is very difficult to control while shooting because of its heavy caliber. As a result, it is recommended to deploy the bipod before firing.

Trivia

 * Abbreviation meanings:
 * The M in "M240B" stands for Model, and 240 is the model number.
 * The L in "L7A2" stands for Land Service, 7 stands for the model number, A stands for Mark, and 2 stands for the type of Mark.
