FN EVOLYS™ 5.56

ULTRALIGHT MACHINE GUN

Fires like a machine gun, handles like a rifle
5.56

The brand new FN EVOLYS™ Ultralight Machine Gun combines the firing capabilities of a belt-fed machine gun with ergonomics and balance similar to an assault rifle, and complements the existing FN machine gun portfolio. The FN EVOLYS™ has been developed in two calibres, 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO.

The FN EVOLYS™ 5.56, with a weight of approx. 5.5 kilos, is much lighter than current reference machine guns.
