My 16 year old daughter got to shoot a Negev. Possibly that very one on the left.

I'd say it's closer to an M249. Belt/Mag fed, 5.56mm, light weight, and firing from an open bolt are hallmarks of a SAW. Neat MG for sure.

I wonder how this compares to the SAW or other LMGs in terms of reliability?

It looks like it beats them all in weight, and portability.

Looks like it's better than the SAW. Lighter (by appearance at least) and a functional magazine option.

The barrel-swap looks like a good system but I have little experience with such things.

Maybe a stupid question, but why are all post-WW2 machine guns so ugly? They all look like random chunks of metal bolted together.

I was just thinking about how beautiful the air cooled Browning 1919 was, then I vomited.

I think I'd prefer the rate of fire to be just a bit lower, say 700 rpm. That thing burns through an astounding number of rounds in no time at all. Otherwise, I think I prefer it over the M249.

They had one at the ASC Zombie/Billups shoot last fall.

Machineguns are fun. I need some

For now I make do with a bumpsaw. 95% of the performance at 5% of the cost. Hopefully that will change soon.

Fucking NFA.

Belt-fed matches would be soooo much fun.

What's the difference between Vigilant Spectre and Nutnfancy?

Military service.
