A Daewoo K3 "Paratrooper" model, with a chopped barrel; buttstock removed to resemble an M249 Paratrooper, and with a 200 round "soft pack" magazine. Guns in similar configurations have been seen in many action films. (This picture was edited in GIMP.)

The K3 is a Korean-made 5.56x45mm light machine gun (LMG) manufactured by S&T Daewoo and used by the armed forces of the Republic of Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia. It strongly resembles the FN Minimi/M249, but it is actually a completely different weapon. However, for film armorers, the K3's close resemblance to the M249 proved handy at a time when the M249 was difficult for armories to acquire. Consequently, there are many action movies and TV shows in which visually modified K3s are used as stand-ins for the M249.
