FN MAG
The FN MAG is a general purpose Machine gun developed in Belgium during the 1950s and adopted by many countries around the world, including the U.S. The United States Military made some design changes and adopted it currently as the M240, however it is not identical to the FN MAG used in Europe, South America and the Middle East prior to the 1990s. The MAG-58 was the mainstay of foreign armies until the U.S. finally got rid of the M-60 in the early 1990s and adopted their own version of the FN MAG. There are three major incarnations of the FN MAG, in movies.
1) The original MAG-58 (which is the incarnation seen before the early 1990s).
2) The L7 Machine Gun, adopted by Great Britain and used by some former Commonwealth countries
3) U.S. incarnation known as the M240. All major variants of the FN MAG are very similar, except the earlier variants had no heat shields around the barrels and the buttstocks were wood. The newest incarnation, the U.S. M240 added heat shields and synthetic stock, plus a modified flash hider.
The FN MAG machine gun (the most recent version being designated M240 in U.S. military service) has appeared in the following films, television series, and video games being used by the following actors:
