The FN M249S PARA, a semi-automatic version of the M249 PARA light machine gun, was originally developed by FN Herstal as the FN MINIMI and adopted by the U.S. military in 1988. The rifle features the signature 16.1-inch FN cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel and operates from a closed-bolt position. The ergonomic buttstock contains hydraulic buffer that allows the user to maintain high rate of fire with accuracy and effect. Chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO, the rifle will accept both magazine and linked ammunition belt and offers a 4.0-6.5 pound trigger pull out of the box. The PARA was designed for airborne, armored infantry and close quarters combat (CQC) operations with a shorter barrel and collapsible buttstock. It retains all of the features of the FN M249 SAW and can be field-converted back to the standard model configuration in just 30 seconds.
