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 British (as the
L7) and the Americans (M240), 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.
In this
book, Chris McNab charts the technical evolution of this
extraordinary weapon, created by Belgian company Fabrique Nationale
d'Herstal. From the jungles of South East Asia, to the deserts of
the Middle East, and the icy battlefields of the Falklands, this
study explores the origins, development, combat use, and legacy of
the FN MAG machine gun, a dominant weapon in its field for more
than a half-century.
