Looks like a Belgian-made MAG. At 7.62mm NATO, it's a medium or general purpose machine gun. Apparently they just bought them.
 
It's an FN Mag 58. Canada call it the C-6. Brits call it the L7A2. The US version is the M240. It's one of the most used GPMG in the world. The British just bought brand new ones made by Heckler & Koch (HK L7A2). I don't think the French army is using it since they have the AA-52 as standard issue GPMG but I could be wrong
 
Mismatched eras. The AA52 has an exposed barrel with a big carrying handle. The "figure" has been posed holding a WWII German MG34 (hooked butt and round full length barrel jacket with holes and a bipod).

D'oh, should of looked closer at the butt stock , trigger and the barrel jacket on that one.:redface:

The French did use the MG 34 after the war.
 
And Bellero was right about the french not having been issued the C-6,it came with the Royal Marines kit.

I believe that the French Army has just bought a bunch of MAGs from FN. bellero was right - just about everybody uses the thing.
 
Did the French use Woodland Camo - the last time I paid attention to the French they wore green (LE - but that's no measure, poor guys get the sh*t stuff anyways - Gabon?? who the eff would send people to Gabon other than wartime - and even then...) or that really cool "Lizard" pattern (Algerie Francais, and all that)
 
is this a joke???? what gun is my doll holding???

You mean you don't you have a collection of Lego military figures and firearms, what do you play with when your not cleaning your guns and your wife has a headache.............or do you wear really thick glasses. :rolleyes:
