About the minimi...

Ironcomatose · 04-05-2007, 05:31 PM

I am not suggesting i am just asking. Are you guys going to leave the M249 as the British MG or are you going to skin a Minimi version? If im wrong about anything let me know but from all the pics i have seen of the minimi it looks nothing like the gun the british have now.

that looks way more like an m240 to me... but what do I know about guns? Try me and you'll find out....

Brits have an M249 in their arsenal (I haven't used 'em much)?

SiN|ScarFace · 04-05-2007, 05:59 PM

From what I have read it's the same weapon just given a different name. That picture just has the Para stock (which the USA also uses) and an optical sight, basically cosmetic differences but the weapon is the same.

Take a look at this album. http://www.imagestation.com/album/pi...?id=4285992973

Para version with M249 conversion parts shown.

I wish we had the M249 with the short barrel in game, it looks fugly with the long barrel. And I see tons of the short barrel ones in pics/videos of troops in Iraq. Also, it needs the rail system in game, another thing on the m249 I see in alot of pics etc from real world.

It's the FN Minimi 'para'. Shorter than the US equivelant. It's in the pipeline

The main differance, except for barrellenght and stock, is the replaceable barrels on the FN minimi para. You get two barrels with the FN minimi.

Main visual differences between the FN MiniMi and the M249 are that the Minimi has a different foregrip which lacks the grooves but has a grippy pattern on the sides and it does not have the heatshield covering the barrel. The stock is also retractable (which is also optional on M249 iirc)
