Negev LMG: The Israeli Take on the SAW
This video provides an in-depth look at the Negev, an Israeli light machine gun developed in the 1980s as a domestic alternative to the FN Minimi. The creator highlights the Negev's 5.56mm caliber, belt or box magazine feeding (compatible with Galil and AR mags via adapter), quick-change barrels, and open-bolt operation. Key features distinguishing it from the Minimi include a semi-automatic fire control, integrated optics mounting on the receiver, and a standard folding stock. The video aims to explore how the Negev functions.
