A $4.9 million contract has been awarded to FN America to supply the U.S. Army with additional FN M240L medium machine guns.
The M240L was originally adopted by the U.S. Army in 2010, after a joint development effort with FN to create a lighter, yet durable, medium machine gun. (In fact, the model is 5 pounds lighter than its predecessor, the FN M240B.)
“The M240L continues the collaborative effort between FN, the U.S. Army and the individual soldier to provide the most effective weapon systems for the warfighter,” said president and CEO of FN America, Mark Cherpes. “We are extremely proud of this product and look forward to working with the U.S. Army to deliver against this contract.”
