  FN Herstal
FN Herstal proves that an effective weapon for personal defence is a matter of ammunition design
What FN Herstal realised as the solution was an interim cartridge between short-range pistol rounds, such as the 9 x 19mm Parabellum, and cartridges such as the Eastern Bloc 5.45 x 39mm and the NATO 5.56 x 45mm, both the latter designed for optimum performance at hundreds of metres.
At the end of 1999, FN Herstal introduced a new version of the P90, the P90 TR (triple rail) that features one full length rail that allows the mounting of a wide variety of optical sights and two side rails to take accessories such as tactical lights and external lasers.

 Fabrique Fantastique: The MK48 MOD 0 Machine Gun
The U.S.-based division of the famous Belgian company Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FN Manufacturing Inc.) has unveiled the MK48 light weight machine gun as a scaled-up version of the MK 46.
Known to U.S. troops as the M249, the MK 46 was an improvement on the consistently problematic M60, but couldn't give U.S. military SpecWar operators the punch they needed.
FN Herstal has further addressed this problem by installing an easily detachable barrel on the MK48, with a heatproof handle for quick removal without the use of asbestos mittens.

La direction du Groupe Herstal (FN-Herstal, etc.) a donc lancé une enquête interne pour bien identifier les failles dans le système de sécurité et dénicher les éventuelles brebis galeuses.
