The M249 machine gun is the American adaptation of the Minimi®, one of FN Herstal’s biggest commercial successes.
Designed in the 1970s, the FN Minimi® (for Mini Machine Gun) is a light machine gun whose role is to increase the firepower of squads in combat, without using different ammunition than assault rifles. Adopted by the US Army in 1984, then by the USMC the following year, the American version will then take the designation M249.
