Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Building on the popularity of the already released M249S<\/a> semi-automatic version of the 5.56 SAW light machine gun, FN is releasing the M249S Para (or Paratrooper) model. Originally developed for airborne troops in its original form, the Para is fourth addition to the company\u2019s Military Collector Series of semi-automatic versions of classic military firearms.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

The new M249S Para from FN offers shooters a semi-auto version of a classic military firearm.<\/p><\/div>\n

According to John Keppeler, senior vice president of sales and marketing for FN America, LLC, \u201cYou\u2019ll notice only two major differences between the semi- and full-auto versions (of the M249S Para) \u2013 the barrel length and reconfigured internal components to change the rifle\u2019s operation from open-bolt to closed-bolt. Authenticity was critical in this series and we changed as little as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

The M249S Para was available to shoot on Range Day during SHOT Show 2017.<\/p><\/div>\n

Specs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\"New<\/a>\n
\"New<\/a>

GunsAmerica’s Clay Martin had the chance to go hands-on with the new M249S Para.<\/p><\/div>\n

Impression<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many might point out that a semi-automatic SAW is not really that practical, and they would be right. A belt-fed gun that weighs 17 pounds and is semi-auto? What’s the point? But not everything has to “make a point”\u2014sometimes, something is just really cool. Sure, it might be impractical, but how about those of us that have always wanted to own their own version of this gun but knew they would never be able to own one? Well, thanks to FN, we civilians now have a chance. We have already run a review of the standard M249S (click here to see it:\u00a0https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/unleash-saw-civilian-m249-now-available-full-review\/<\/a>), and\u00a0reviewer Jon Hodoway really liked it. What the new Para version brings to the table is a more compact version patterned after the M249 Para model. It features a shortened barrel as well as a rock-solid collapsing stock for extreme compact dimensions of 31.5 to 37 inches in overall length. We had a chance to run the gun at the Range Day at SHOT Show 2017 and really liked it.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>

The Para is also offered in black.<\/p><\/div>\n

Price & Availability<\/h2>\n

Ahh, so the real question: What does it cost? It is definitely not a price point gun, coming in at $8.799 in black and $9,199 in flat dark earth, but for those of us who just have to have one, I guess cost may not be an issue. I suppose we could take out a line of credit on the house or sell our car? Keep an eye out for a full review of the M249S Para here on GunsAmerica.com in the very near future.<\/p>\n
