NOTICE: We've been mis-IDing M249s...

[MT2008]

Steve just corrected me on a mistake that we've been making on our pages for a long time. It seems that a whole bunch of the machine guns which we've been identifying as "M249s" or "FN Minimis" in movies are actually not FN weapons at all, but rather these:

So far, I've found that the "M249s" in the movies "3000 Miles to Graceland", "Walking Tall", "American Dragons", "AvP: Requiem", "Postal", and both of the "Stargate" TV shows are actually Daewoo K3s. Most of them have been given fake M249 Paratrooper-style buttstocks, shortened barrels, and flash hiders.

Just thought I'd tell you guys. Realizing this mistake has totally turned my world upside-down tonight...
