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.	„

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:

Role	Faction	Variant	Sight	Magazine	Added in
Machine Gunner	US Army	M240B + M145	Telescopic sight, fixed 3.4×	75 rounds	Alpha 10.0
	British Army	L7A2 GPMG	Iron sights, ranging 100-1800m	75 rounds	Alpha 11.0
	Canadian Army	C6A1	Iron sights, ranging 100-1800m	75 rounds	Alpha 15.3

• 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.
