Historical profile
Developed by FÉG in Budapest in 1965 as a weapon for Hungarian vehicle crews, paratroopers and airborne troops.
The barrel shortened to 317 mm with a muzzle brake/compensator and the auxiliary forward grip reduce muzzle rise in bursts despite reduced muzzle velocity.
Exported to several Warsaw Pact and Third World countries, it has appeared extensively in conflicts across Central Asia and the Middle East.
