FNH M249S SAW Light Machine Gun – Military Collector Series ~ Review & VIDEO

By Mike Searson

Mike Searson reviews the semi auto version of the FNH M249S SAW Light Machine Gun. Note the “S” designation for semi auto.

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Unlike some manufacturers who pursue military contracts, FNH (Fabrique Nationale Herstal) has never ignored the civilian demand for these arms and have always made “civilian legal” versions of their most popular pistols and rifles.

Most recently they have released a collector series based on the firearms common to US Military Infantry rifle squads.

One of which, we have been waiting to lay hands on for about 3 decades: The M249S SAW, a civilian legal semiautomatic version of the Squad Automatic Weapon that we humped as an Automatic Rifleman in the USMC.

Ironically, after more than 3 decades of service, the US Military may be moving back to the idea of a service rifle to replace the SAW or light machinegun role in a fire team.

In general, we find semiautomatic belt fed guns to be pretty lame. However a $35,000 to $85,000 price difference can make you get rid of that notion quickly!
