FN Herstal MK 46 MOD 1 Features

The Mk46 is a belt-fed, fully automatic gas operated machine gun that operates on a long stroke piston and multi-lug rotating bolt action.  Firing from the open bolt, this gun offers the same firepower as the M249 with more accuracy, reliability, and with a lighter overall weight.  It can be fitted with 16.3” and 11.5” barrels that can quickly be swapped out to prevent overheating.

FN Herstal MK 46 MOD 1 Capacity

The FN Mk46 is chambered in 5.56x45mmNATO and feeds from belts with ammo connected by M27 links.  While the standard size belt consists of 200 rounds carried in a semi-rigid carrying case that easily clips onto the bottom of the gun, a non-finite amount of rounds can be linked together.  The Mk46 can also accept STANAG magazines that work in an M16 or M4.


With an overall length of 36.22 inches and an unloaded weight of 15.4 pounds, the Mk46 provides a much more mobile platform than the M249.  Over one and a half pounds lighter and 4 inches shorter than the SAW, the Mk46 allows its users more easily carry, use and maneuver with this gun in all environments.

FN Herstal MK 46 MOD 1 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The Mk46 offers the same control layout as the M249 with its cross-bar safety, FAL style grip, non-reciprocating charging handle, quick-change barrel and top cover controls.  The biggest ergonomic improvement is in the inclusion of a 3-sided railed handguard that allows for a much more useable vertical front grip to be attached.


FN Herstal MK 46 MOD 1 Fit & Finish

The Mk46 is built with the same quality that you can expect out of FN with notable improvements in more than just the new handguard.  Many parts including the bipod are made of titanium instead of steel making the gun both stronger and lighter.  The improved barrel lockup allows the Mk46 to be far more accurate than its predecessor.
