Ever since FN announced in April they will be releasing a semi-auto version of the M249 Saw at the end of 2015, I curse living in NewYorkistan under Ayatollah Cuomoni. What a screaming deal...it's going to be somewhere around $7.5K! I know that's a lot for what amounts to a heavy semi-auto rifle with an endless magazine, but I have serious belt-fed envy. Before this, you had to buy converted m249's & m240 bravos from Ohio Ordnance, Machine Gun Armory and a few others...and those guns started at $11K! Hope some Pelican buys one and squeezes off some rounds for me! I've got to move!
