Hello,

Thanks,

According to my information the FN MGs were actually improved Browning MGs, in several different calibres.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific information for the FN, all I know is that on some tweaked versions they increased the ROF up 1400.

Anyway, just a ballpark here are the figures for the original Browning versions:

1. Browning .303 (7.7x56) ROF: 1150 Velocity: 870m/s
2. Browning .50 M2 (12.7x99) ROF: 750-850 Velocity: 880m/s
