Specifications
Construction
The FN EVOLYS 7.62 is an ultralight, belt-fed machine gun chambered in 7.62×51 mm NATO, built with modern lightweight alloys, polymers, and a short-stroke gas piston system to combine the sustained firepower of a machine gun with the handling and balance closer to an assault rifle.
Key Features
Designed for modern infantry and special operations, it features a patented lateral feed mechanism with automatic last-link ejection, a continuous top rail for optics and night sights, ambidextrous controls, full and semi-automatic fire modes, and a ~6.3 kg weight that is significantly lighter than traditional 7.62 mm machine guns.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance for the EVOLYS 7.62 focuses on regular cleaning and lubrication of the gas system, bolt carrier group, feed mechanism, and barrel, inspection of feed and rail components for wear, and following FN Herstal’s armorer service guidelines to ensure reliable performance under sustained fire conditions.
