FN HERSTAL recently launched the MINIMI™ 7.62 x 51mm lightweight machine gun, to fulfil a growing worldwide requirement for a machine gun which provides the power of 7.62 ammunition in a 5.56 weight machine gun.
MINIMI™ 5.56 and 7.62 machine guns have most parts in common, and similar ergonomics. A MINIMI™ 5.56 machine gun user therefore needs no extra training to utilise the MINIMI™ 7.62 machine gun.
The MINIMI™ 7.62 machine gun is equipped with a medium barrel (longer than the MINIMI™ 5.56 machine gun and shorter than the MAG 7.62 machine gun).
The MINIMI™ 7.62 machine gun weighs less than 1kg more than the MINIMI™ 5.56 machine gun, and approximately 4kg less than the MAG 7.62 machine gun.
