FN MAG, The Real Name
Just saying, The name 'M240' is the US designation for this weapon, The real name is 'FN MAG' and is from Belgian origin. I do understand the 'M240' is a slightly different version.
Also known as the 'L7A1' in British service.

- The British Armed forces referred to the FN MAG as the GPMG or "Gimpy" (pronounced jimpy) when they used it, I've never heard a soldier refer to it as an L7 or an L7A1. I know that's it's proper designation but I thought I'd just throw that in there. --cool-breeze 10:38, 7 May 2012 (CDT)

When was the M240 series adopted by the US?
What year were all the models put into service? Specifically the M240B and M240G.
- The M240 was first adopted by the US as a coaxial weapon for armored vehicles (specifically the Abrams tank, LAV-25, & Bradley) in the 1970's, but didn't start seeing use as an infantry weapon until the mid/late 1990's. Orca1 9904 17:17, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
