Thoughts on the FN Evolys? It's a contender for the British Army's replacement LMG.
no.next question.
Looks like that horse drawing meme
>>64479618Slapping in new belts looks much easier than the typical oldschool tray.
They should have the IWI Negev. Cause maximum crustie seething.
>>64479893Bongs aren't allowed to do things that would upset pakis nowadays
>>64479618Should have become the NGSW in a less memey cartridge like some 6.5, but burger brass is retarded and fighting the last war with ideas from 2 wars ago.Bongs can't have nice things anyway, all budget is allocated to gibs, tea and crumpets, doesn't matter what they adopt on paper.
>>64479618Holy hell this is ugly. It will definitely get selected by the Brits!
>>64479618The Evolys is like a bad dream in that every time I look away, it turns into more of a goyslop monstrosity.
The SCAR stock looks less fugly and more durable
gay
>>64479618The good: it saves a massive amount of weight.The bad: it's still not constant recoil.Unimportant: the side loading for one man to reload it easier.
It is really lightweight for a MG. No clue how it shoots.
>>64480941>It is really lightweight for a MGBecause it's just a belt-fed SCAR.That means no quick change barrel.That means it's a glorified IAR and a direct downgrade from the M249.
>FN when they design to a retarded specificationbad>FN when they just make something they think people will wantgood

>>64481037hello based department.
>>64479618barrel looks very light, how many rounds can this do sustained before it melts? Does it quick change?
>>64481199>how many rounds can this do sustained before it meltsno idea>Does it quick changenothe current meta is "achually you don't need to make daka daka, a few bursts is enough" that's why the M250 is without a quick change barrel too
>>64481245>"Hello FN please give me a belt-fed squad level automatic weapon in 5.56 and make it as light as possible so that the gunner can carry as much extra ammo as possible">okay do you want a quick change barrel with tha->"NO THERE WILL BE NO RAPID FIRE ON MY WATCH!!!1"What the fuck were they thinking
>>64479618God that's hideous
>>64481360Can we please convince everyone to stop cooking
>>64481199>Does it quick change?The FN Evolys doen't have a "quick-change" barrelbut an "easy-change" barrel system that can be swapped out in approximately one to two minutes
>>64481360We have got to the stage of slapping G28 stocks on everything.
>>64480972cool, so it's just like the M250
>>64481455
>>64481278>8.9 kg >5.56 what the fuck is this piece of shit negev-7 is less than 8 kgpkm is less than 7.5why can't germans make things LIGHT?
>>64481522...the Evolys is 5.5 kg tho
>>64481528And this is good for the 5.56 But 8.9 kg for that? Germans are absolutely retarded sometimes
>>64481522Bundeswehr buys by the kilo to avoid upsetting the greens pls understand
>>64481360At least this has the nice 416A5 castle nut. I think it inspires more confidence than the milspec castle nut on a machine gun.
>>64479618Looks FN gay. Get it haha!
why cant we have pk mgs chambered in nato rounds
>>64482119Think about it for 5 seconds. PKMs are rimmed and pull the round out backwards. NATO rounds aren't and NATO guns don't. Yes you can kludge together janky PKMs that use NATO ammo but why would you? PKMs are a worse SAW than a SAW and a worse GPMG than a M240.
>>64481390but how many belts can it do in bursts sustained for a contact on that barrel it's job is suppression, it takes time to respond to contact and get a flank in place or get a support asset on it or even to withdraw?>>64481390so they are issued with a few spare barrels? How is this better than a couple of SA80s mag dumping? What is the point?
>>64482203>How is this better than a couple of SA80s mag dumping?Its not shit
>>64482156PKM is light AF and has that 7.62 skibbidy death rizz. I was shocked at how light it was compared to my Para M249.Prob a bunch of Jeet engineers making this shit>>64482381SA80 was good after HK reworked them. Bullpups are great for troops operating from IFV's.
>>64481390WTFI been a machinegunner most of my career. How did these engineer tards not have a quick change barrel? Its worse than the M240 and M249 then.
>>64481522>neger-7No white country wants your genocide rifle shitskin
>>64482747There was an argument to be made for bullpup service rifles when all we had was relatively low pressure ball ammunition. But in 2025, you can make a bullet do anything with modern cases and modern bullets. This is why everyone is moving away from bullpups to short barreled rifles.
>>64480941Yeah it's something stupid like 25% lighter than contemporary LMGs.
>>64479618The KAC LAMG blows it out of the water. Also has a QCB despite being lighter (when accounting for the KAC's heavier barrel). The Evolys's barrel is literally lighter than an M27 IAR's. But the Evolys will also be chambered in the new LICC cartridge, that's cool I guess.
>>64481245>the current metaWhich isn't the actual meta, it's what a few demented generals think the meta should be. Picrel.
>>64479645You would have said yes if it came with polymer cased ammo. Polycase ammo is the future and we should switch to it. No reason not to.
>>64479893why is being cruel and spiteful all you care about?
>>64483457Licc muh ballz
