This video delves into the Canadian C2A1 light machine gun, a heavy-barreled variant of the FN FAL. Adopted by Canada in 1958 and updated to the C2A1, it featured a dual-purpose bipod/handguard and a rear sight calibrated to 1000 meters. Despite its robust design, the C2A1 was found to be less effective as a light support weapon due to its rifle origins, impacting handling and sustained fire. Approximately 2700 units were produced before being superseded by the C9 (FN Minimi) in the 1980s. The video thanks Movie Armaments Group for providing the firearm.
