It is a SAW, they call it a Minimi IIRC.  Furniture might be different.

The Brits use Minimis and Gimpys (slang for their L7 GPMG) just like we do; their Minimi is our SAW and their GImpy is our 240 Gulf.



FN L7 GPMG



FN M240B with soft-pack and ELCAN sight


British soldier with a Para Minimi, notice the SUSAT sight, typical of the SA-80 rifle.



American sodlier with M249 Para SAW with 100-round soft pack and ELCAN scope. Also look at the "combat patch" on the soldier's shoulder, yup; 2nd Marine Division patch (eventhough Marines don;t wear unit patches)

Minimi (short for miniature M.A.G.) is what FN calls it...



Translates to English: 'small general purpose machine gun'....
