I agree. Not every gun has to be practical or achieve some sort of military mark or tactically efficient.

YES

Lmao for real😂💀

SCAR is still my favorite rifle if I want anything other than an AR variant

Haha, the Magic Man again! What’s up bro! Obviously we are both gun guys.

Funny I’ve never thought of FN as a quality manufacture. They make the scar and the FN 249 which is sexy but it’s a hunk of junk. Only reason I’ve ever paid attention to FN outside of the Scar was because their cold hammer forged barrels are cheap like $180 to $250 cheap. New pistol line up past few years have been semi ok, definitely good looking but we’re over hyped. When I think of FN I think aero precision grade but have been capable of actually engineering a new weapon here and there. I bought a couple FN CHF barrels and I don’t regret it happy to have them as spare parts but compared to the DD it wasn’t the same in accuracy and I’m not sure about longevity. I’ve pumped over 40k rounds through one of my DD barrels and it still has rifling. My old team all use DD barrels and all of Socom and JSOC for that matter use DD barrels and they just don’t die. I haven’t witnessed many FN rifles going for long periods of time without maintenance. I can’t speak on the longevity of their barrels cause I never paid attention.

@@relentlessamerican9373 most AR barrels are made by 3 companies, FN is one of those, DD is a small company that has just started making their own barrels a few years ago, before that they were using FN barrels. all Aero barrels are made by FN call them and ask lol. a barrel is a piece of steel that has been formed and then cut in. cold hammer forging is a good technique but what your actually looking for is how the riffling was cut and what the lining is. 90% of AR barrels should run 200k - 300k rounds before beginning to loose accuracy and fail. most companies that buy the barrels buy them without the riffling and then cut them or button rifle, put a finish on them and their label and call it theirs, but they all originate from 3 main companies. also jsoc and socom do not us DD barrels lmao, they use what the command approves and that goes through manufactures they have contracts with. they may have a contract with DD for their rail for the m4 block 2 or 3, but the M4's are made by FN and then modified by their armorers

@M. Denz it’s a great gun… but if you have spent any time behind it you would know it has some major malfunction issues and it’s like an emotional girl friend. Ever heard the term sear bind before? If you have experience behind a 240 bravo please explain to me what sear bind is and then tell me how awesome the 240 bravo and 249 are. There is a difference between the two machine guns.. both suffer from sear binding. I like these weapons, as a civilian now if I could toss away 10k and already owned a Barrett .50 and some other rifles, buying one of these would be something I’d do.. but I’m not blind to the overwhelming issues that plague these squad weapons machine guns. Also when you say accurate…. What exactly do you consider accurate and comparing its accuracy to what? You mean at 100-500 meter you can control burst fire about a 5 foot group? Or are you comparing it to 1 moa guns. It’s accurate in relation to the m60 if that’s what we’re comparing it too or the Russian PKM variant. I’m the world of belt fed machine guns I suppose we could call it accurate. But that’s not really a fair comparison since it’s a light machine gun (chambered in 556) I’m assuming your talking about the 249 and not the 240. You seemed to glue these two guns togthwr in your text. 240 bravo is 7.62 and is considered a heavy machine guns where the 249b is 556 and considered a light machine gun. Also called a saw (squad automatic weapon) where the 240 bravo does not fall under SAW.

@M. Denz which is it Dude? 240 or 249? They aren’t the same flipping gun. And no shit it uses a FN barrel. Both guns are manufactured by FN. i don’t think you’ve ever shot a 249 or a 240 and have no experience to back up your claims. I wasn’t a machine gunner but I did get to train on the weapon and utilize them in serval occasions. The 240 is 7.62 and is going to be vehicle mounted most of the time or tripod mounted in hardened battle positions. The 249 is the squad automatic weapon, its has a bipod on it but for the most part it’s fired from the shoulder. One is 7.62 and the other is 556. If you were to group it with single shots your looking at about 3 moa. Not terribly inaccurate but not accurate at the same time. To glorify the weapon for accuracy is glorifying it for the wrong reason. Like I stated in my other comment to you, I’d buy one for my personal arsenal… only if I could get it in full auto though. A semi auto 249 or 240 is absolutely retarded and takes away from any advantages these weapons have. Because if I was looking at putting accurate shots on target I’d use my AR… hmmm it’s almost like this is how squads are put together. The saw puts down semi accurate hate on the enemy well the more accurate riflemen take position to blast the squirters and your other rifle men move forward to flank enemy position. That’s it’s role, if you have just ARs or other rifles like ARs and come across an enemie patrol or hardened position your gonna have a hard time bounding or moving at all. In fact bounding over watch is almost always performed any your saw gunner. And that’s it’s claim to fame. Being moderately accurate, with controllable full auto fire (which is what makes it accurate is the rate Of fire and weight of the gun) and being light enough for a machine gun that soldiers can carry and shoulder fire the weapon… that’s it right there. The fact it can be carried by a single soldier into combat. That’s what makes the 249 a formidable firearm. But jamming, part breakage, extreme part wear, extreme maintance, sear binding issues, reloading issues because whoever designed the feed tray wasn’t thinking about soldiers being shot at hiding behind a rock trying to feed a new belt into that bitch. So many issues plague this firearm. The new squad weapon program I disagree with the weapon they are trying to replace, the new sig spear and sig light and heavy machine guns should be replacing the 240, the 249 and any AR10 rifles. 6.8 shouldn’t be replacing 556. Funny cause the military is keeping the 249 and trying to replace the AR. Which is backwards, the new sig fixes all the issues of the 249 and only weighs 12 pounds. But they are gonna buy new 6.8 barrels for the 240 and 249… makes no flipping sense. I understand if you love the FN saw but don’t ignore it’s glaring flaws or try to say it’s something it simple is not.

I bought an FN 15 Patrol Carbine. I haven't upgraded anything because I honestly don't know what I should upgrade. I'm relatively new to guns. I'm pretty sure I made a good choice with it though. I really like it.

@@bobbrock4221 it will serve you well. Take it out and get used to it as much as you can. If I could go back, the second purchase following the FN and mags and ammo would be a suppressor. Don’t let the unconstitutional tax, registration and wait time deter you. ARs are LOUD. God forbid you’re ever put in a situation where you need one indoors, there’s no reason you or your family should all suffer from lifelong hearing loss. While you wait for it, get a very good light with a switch pad and a sling. 🇺🇸👍🏼

KAC> wayyyy better than both of these. There is many brands I’d get before FN in that price

Have you compared the prices?

You can’t go wrong but KAC is extremely good quality

Kac is the best on that list then bcm

KAC is probably the best. Super expensive though. Might just splurge and go for one. Really do love this FN though.

Been looking at the Zev and the FN, what is your take since you have both?

@@Dpixtion I’d go with the FN. if I had to pick one. It shoots tighter groups. For me anyway.

What is the price?

Next thing you know you have a new toy trying to figure out how you're going to pay this months bills?

@@Jackthat1 MSRP $1,599 for all black, $200 more for the one in the video.

@@Jackthat1 $1799... As I can put my own damn rifle together, I remain unimpressed.

I was wondering about that. Yeah I threw a Sig charging handle on mine and I'm pretty happy with it, the radian is more bulky than I like.

Very few ARs are ground breaking.

??

😂😂👍

What's your budget? Do you want something for long range shooting or cqb for home defense?

You gotta start with what you want to do with it. The generic answer would be an Aimpoint T-2 if your budget allows it, and you can always get a magnifier later. But if actually need a high magnification optic it's best to start with it.

Depends on the philosophy of use. LPVO (low power variable optic) 1-4/1-6. Will do well enough at everything though not better than a RD for cqb and not better than a high power optic for 400+

Lol. I have one. Very nice rifle. Mine has the A2 sight on the front.

@@urblotasunkynewulf615 I'm torn on putting a dot sight, ranged optic, or slapping a carry handle on it

Get red dot first then rear flip up sight

@@jordanreynolds6802 I ended up putting the Vortex strikefire II on it. Magpul Bad Lever and a binary trigger. Lots of fun.

@@vannlo355 Well I decided on the red dot because I have a Ar-10 that I shoot at distance. I keep the Ruger kinda short range because it's a little gun and I can move with it quicker in cqb situations. Plus I had no experience with red dots previously and wanted to try them out. You could put a ranged scope and a red dot on if you really wanted to.

It's kinda like FN saw the URG-I upper, and then waited a few years to say "hey, people like modern ARs, right?"
