This rifle, which has been adopted by many
countries both within and outside NATO, was
designed and made by FN to give the user a
rifle which would combine all the essential qua-
lities needed under modern fighting conditions, to
a hitherto unequalled degree.
This booklet is neither for the armourer nor the
specialised officer: its purpose is to familiarise
the user with a weapon which is new to him and to
put sufficient knowledge at his disposal to enable
him to use it with maximum efficiency.
