British Columbia
Minor FYI, to those wondering if a SAW in a movie/TV show is the Daewoo K3 or an actual FN Minimi/M249 variant: The K3 tends to appear almost exclusively in productions filmed in British Columbia, Canada. The reason for this is that the major armory located in Vancouver, which is called Felcan Enterprises (or just Tom Felcan, after its owner), only seems to have K3s and not real FN Minimis in inventory. So rule of thumb is that if you are watching a show that was filmed in Vancouver (or some other area of British Columbia), you are probably looking at one of the K3s. If the movie was filmed outside of British Columbia (i.e. the U.S. or Europe, or even other parts of Canada), it's probably a real FN Minimi. Check the Internet Movie Database if you are trying to determine the filming location of the production.
The only exception to this rule so far has been Rules of Engagement; the embassy siege in that movie, which featured Daewoo K3s mocked up as M249s, was filmed in Morocco. I would speculate that the weapons used in that scene were imported from movie armories in other countries, so it's possible that Felcan Enterprises provided the K3s for that show, too. -MT2008 11:04, 30 June 2011 (CDT)
