The International Legion fighting the Russian invasion in Ukraine are currently using FN FNC assault rifles, donated by the Belgian Government. It’s the first proof our weapons are actually being used in action.

  1. TFW point man slotted his mags in wrong… bruh, you are going to drop those during a combat reload. Jesus, there’s at least 2 who’ve done it. Don’t these guys get training?

  2. I hope they like the guns, survive the struggle (with as few mental/physical repercussions as possible) and give Putin’s boys hell

  3. How sure are you that they are donated by the belgian government?
    FN is big in the weapon industry and not limited to Belgium.

  4. Not sure I like this, although I like contribution, I have a feeling that Putin will use such images for his Russian citizens as propaganda material. He might even say, “as you can see it is not Ukranians fighting against us, that’s why this operation is a must” and I can even imagine him sitting on his chair talking to camera, “foreign powers sent soldiers to Ukraine”.

    Well, I am originally coming from a country governed by similar nut-head (E…..n), may be I am too much into conspiracy theories.

  5. Probably getting downvoted to oblivion, but I don’t like the fact that Belgium gave weapons to this conflict.

    I hate Putin like every other person on reddit, but I don’t think weapons are part of the solution. Au contraire, it’s the start of further escalation. And we’ll probably get involved in an increasingly global war where Russia will involve more and more countries.

  6. I remember FN FAL was often used by ISIS, they seemed happy with it.

  7. Having used that carabine often, I suggest not shooting it full auto cause it jams most of the time.

    Of course it could be that the ones we got for training are shite.

    Its has great accuracy for mid range engagements. The grain is pretty good. I used to get 5/5 headshots at 100m with it.

  8. When I first joined the army (80s) we used the FN . Deadly and accurate. Carried a hell of a punch compared to the 5.56mm that replaced it.
