FN COLLECTOR'S SERIES

[@ar15mmdelta]

Vicker's rifles have four settings; single shot , 3 rounds burst , fully automatic, AND slow motion . That's why he is the man

[@alanfender123]

there's actual a fifth setting: BRO motion

FN should bring back FNC and FAL as parts of the Military Collector's series!

[@Skidracer21]

WHY COULDN'T THEY MAKE THE FAL AND FNC PART OF THIS SERIES REEEEEEEEEEE

[@emileblanche5868]

Because it’ll cut into their SCAR sales.

Growing up in Canada in the 80's we all went into cadets as teenagers. At the time the Canadian military was issued the FN C1 A1 (Known as the FAL in the US) - gotta say this was my issued weapon and my all time favorite rifle for drill with arms and the range @ Ipperwash, especially since she was a .308 and could punch cards with the best of 'em. I was heart broken when they took them out of issue, chopped them all up and replaced them with some friggin pea shooter in .223. Id give my right arm to have one hangin on my wall again.

Theres the mga mk46 & mk48 where all you gotta do is drop in a HK binary pack (or full auto if you have pockets deep enough, which you probably do if you can afford a $7000 range toy)

[@ShimomuraTakezoWong]

FN 249/ Minimi's, are my favourite SAW, in fact there are 3 configurations for 5.56mm. It will be interesting to do a video demo on the 7.62 version to differentiate the immense fire power in section/squad fire & movement drill against a platoon. The carnage it can inflict with synchronised firing on the move using burst fire sweeping 180 degrees area of contact.

[@johnstallings9652]

Excellent vid LAV and the way in which you explained the differences between a closed bolt and a open bolt in a full auto! I think the 29 that gave a thumbs down do not have a full understanding of a full auto weapon!

Outstanding! Love the SAW portion of this video!

[@wyattgrose6439]

Would I be incorrect in saying by that simply welding (or by using other, likely more precise means of attachment) the bolt to the hammer on the m249s, you could convert it to a machine gun? I would imagine that the extractor and what not is attached to the bolt, so let's disregard that part of the situation. But for most of the case, would that work? (Please don't raid my house atf)

LAV Is the M249S as loud when firing as the M249? Or because of it being semiautomatic only is it not as noticeable? Thanks for killing the sound down on the saw when you were playing, it looked like you were having a good time. The spent brass and links show you were doing some real heavy research. Thanks for putting yourself through it for us Semper Fi

[@jordanaug81]

FN's "Collector series" like any collectors series means a 20% bump in price.

[@alekxu]

Huh? I don't understand how open bolt and close bolt make any difference in terms of fire arm regulation. Why did they have to make it close bolt?

[@mooseishman]

akx For the most part, open bolt is almost exclusively associated with machine guns. Also, there were a lot of open bolt semis that the ATF decided a long time ago needed to be modified because it was too easy to make them machine guns, such as the MAC and Uzi. Basically, a closed bolt 249 would require a significant enough amount of effort to illegally convert I.e. an open bolt might be converted with available or ‘lost/fell off a supply truck’ parts.

but WHERE ARE THE ORIGINAL M16 HANDLES????? i don't see them

[@David-cj8wv]

Wait what's with the ATF and open bolt guns?

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Supposedly the ATF doesn't like people producing new open bolt guns even if they are semi auto because they are easy to convert to full auto. They will be fine with single shot open bolts. Realistically though it does nothing, because even striker and hammer fired guns can be very easily converted illegally to open bolt with just a little metal working skills. The evidence of that is in the converted guns the ATF has seized over the decades, which represent just a small fraction of the illicit select fire guns running in circulation.
