FN FNC

[CrystalHunter1989]

I guess I'll start my new posting career with a topic we all know and love.




FN FNC (Fabrique National Carbine)

Date of Introduction: 1979
Country of Origin: Belgium
Service Length: 1979-present
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO
Weight: 8 lbs
Length: 30 inches
Barrel Length: 14.3 inches
Magazine Capacity: 30 rounds
Modes of Fire: Semi, 3-Round Burst and Full Automatic

Known to most Americans as Al Pacino's weapon of choice in the movie Heat, the FNC is the standard issue rifle of the Belgian army. It utilizes a gas piston system with a rotating bolt and two locking lugs, strongly resembling the Kalashnikov in function. The barrel is equipped with a flash suppressor that is also capable of firing rifle grenades. The weapon usually features a side-folding stock and can be fitted with a spike bayonet. Video footage of the weapon being fired on full automatic mode shows a very controllable platform, arguably more so than the M16 family of rifles. It can accept any STANAG magazine (magazines from other NATO nations chambered in 5.56). The weapon has seen extensive action in anti-gurilla operations in Indonesia as well as the Niger Delta Conflict.

Unfortunately, semi-auto only versions of the FNC are some of the rarest 5.56 caliber rifles on the American market, especially pre-ban versions. They can be found for the modest price of $4,000-8,000.

Ok, here's your eye candy:

Artificial gun scarcity brought to you by the same guys as:



And other such great titles as:
-We'll drill holes in your barrel because we can't legally ban them!

-It's ok for us to straw buy guns and ship them to Mexican drug lords! But you better not get caught buying your mom a gun...

And of course don't forget the all time classic!
-We ban Norico from exporting guns to the US but it's ok for the US to sell chemical weapons to third-world nations.

Hello all, RON L here


 I actually did one one of these FNC's in semi auto when i was Stationed in Wa State! I got it in a Trade on an AR I had and while it was a well functional gun, to me, I thought it felt too heavy for the caliveber, the mags would interchange with M-16, and all but othr spare parts cost drove me to sell it, yes I did Double my $, but that one Rifle I really don't miss and hardly see the worth of the $ tag? Fior the same $, get a Good AR and a Lots and Lots of mags, ammo and excessories??? Thats my call!

OH and BURT, thats about some Funny stuff, sad and true all at the same time?? The Folks that are caught doing the gun Running want to now act like they want to regulate it?? LOL Only in America, and only here would folks fall for it?
