The FN EVOLYS is a light machine gun designed by FN Herstal in 2021, chambered for 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×51mm NATO. The EVOLYS was designed to be lighter and more ergonomic than other machine guns, such as the FN Minimi.

History

On 22 April 2021, FN Herstal created a teaser trailer, showcasing a new machine gun with the title "A New Chapter Begins".[1] On May 6, FN Herstal released a 20 minute promotional video, discussing the new design, including its technical aspects, and revealing its name: the EVOLYS.[2] In September 2021, the EVOLYS was first displayed to the public at the Defence and Security Equipment International trade show in London,[3] and it began to enter pre-production the same month.[4]

Design

The EVOLYS was designed from the ground up for use in urban warfare, which has become more common, and which holds specific requirements.[5] Rather than taking the base of fire from a squad, the EVOLYS was designed to improve the amount of firepower that could be provided by a single soldier.[5] It is select fire, with the option between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire modes.[6] The EVOLYS uses a lateral feed mechanism with the belt at a 45° angle, and it is fully ambidextrous,[7] with all its controls accessible on both its sides, and it can be loaded with one hand.[8]

The firing operation is unusual as it uses an open bolt, firing with a separate hammer upside down inside the upper receiver. This prevents accidents and runaways as even if the bolt moves forward, it won't fire unless the hammer is released by a trigger pull.[9] A single accessory rail mounted on the top of the receiver allows for the mounting of various optics, allowing for better target acquisition.[10] Previous machine gun designs had to use multiple rails, which were not integral to the receiver, making the attachment and usage of optics more difficult.[5] Due to the increased use of suppressors, the EVOLYS was designed to be capable of having a suppressor permanently fitted without it affecting the weapon's performance.[11]

The EVOLYS was constructed using 3D printing and polymers, which help to reduce its weight. At Шаблон:Convert, the EVOLYS is up to 30% lighter than competing machine guns such as the FN Minimi.[3][12] The EVOLYS is chambered for 5.56×45mm and 7.62×51mm, with 6.5mm Creedmoor and .260 Remington variants in development for potential use by special forces.[4]
