Here are two primary weapons they have sought.This is the civilian version of the belt-fed FN M249 SAW, which the U.S. military has used since the 1980s.

There is an attached bi-pod stand at the front to steady it, and a hydraulic recoil buffer system softens the jolt from each shot, adding to the rifle’s stability and accuracy.The rifle retails for more than $10,000. It also comes in a “paratrooper model,” called Para, with a shorter barrel and collapsing buttstock.
