POTD: The FN Minimi – With a Smile!
Another day, another Photo. TFB’s Photo Of The Day is relentless and keeps on delivering high-quality photos from the World of Firearms and Defense from all around the World. Today offers a Norwegian Guard soldier in the quick reaction force. As you can see, she carries the FN Minimi, a “mini Machine Gun” developed by Fabrique Nationale (FN) in Herstal by Ernest Vervier.
TFB has covered the FN Minimis of Norway extensively before. It was in 2011 that the Norwegian Army decided to purchase around 1,900 Minimis.
The photos are from the Norwegian Defense, taken by Julie Haugen.

Yum. The gun is nice too
I heard they always give the 249 to the smallest guy, so that would make sense :)
