So, the Military Collector Series from FN America just got a little shorter. And by shorter, we really mean expanded with the the M249S Para, a semi-automatic-only, closed-bolt version of the gun used by elite operators within the U.S. military. American Rifleman's Mark Keefe went prone behind this shortened version of the U.S. M249S putting a belt downrange in what is arguably one of the coolest new guns of 2017.
