Developed in the 1980s, the result was the Negev. Like the Minimi, the Negev is a 5.56mm light machine gun that can feed from either belts or box magazines (Galil mags or AR mags with an adapter), has quick-change barrels, and fires from an open bolt. The Negev has several features the Minimi does not, though, including a semiauto fire control position, optics mounting on the receiver (instead of the top cover), a standard folding stock, and some mechanical improvements internally.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s dig into this Negev and see how it ticks!<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks to Movie Armaments Group in Toronto for the opportunity to showcase their Negev for you!
