:The British Armed forces referred to the FN MAG as the GPMG or "Gimpy" (pronounced jimpy) when they used it, I've never heard a soldier refer to it as an L7 or an L7A1. I know that's it's proper designation but I thought I'd just throw that in there. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 10:38, 7 May 2012 (CDT)

FN MAG, The Real Name

Just saying, The name 'M240' is the US designation for this weapon, The real name is 'FN MAG' and is from Belgian origin. I do understand the 'M240' is a slightly different version.

Also known as the 'L7A1' in British service.

When was the M240 series adopted by the US?

What year were all the models put into service? Specifically the M240B and M240G.

The M240 was first adopted by the US as a coaxial weapon for armored vehicles (specifically the Abrams tank, LAV-25, & Bradley) in the 1970's, but didn't start seeing use as an infantry weapon until the mid/late 1990's. Orca1 9904 17:17, 21 June 2011 (CDT)
