FN's new Evolys machine gun is designed to fill an interesting role not already help by either the MAG or Minimi - it is intended as an automatic rifle in the mold of the BAR or M27 IAR, but capable of much greater firepower than either of those. This is a short-stroke, belt-fed automatic rifle focused on light weight and accurate fire. To do this, it sacrifices the QD barrel capacity (akin to the RPD, RPK, and KvKK-62). I found it to be extremely pleasant to shoot in both 5.56mm and 7.62mm, and I am excited to see it gain traction with military forces capable of exploiting its capabilities.
