FN Herstal MK48

The FN Herstal MK48 is a lightweight 7.62×51mm NATO machine gun built for mobile firepower and sustained suppression. Widely used by special operations units and infantry teams that require a potent, belt-fed support weapon with excellent range and terminal performance, the MK48 balances portability with lethal effectiveness. In MILSIM, it serves as the go-to squad automatic weapon (SAW) for delivering sustained suppressive fire, vehicle mounts, and fixed-position defense.
