  Modern Firearms - Machineguns - FN Minimi / M249 / Mk.46 mod.0
The Minimi light machine gun was developed by the famous Belgian company FN Herstal, in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
The FN Minimi has an excellent reputation on reliability and firepower, and the latest reports on failures of M249 SAW weapons in Iraq are attributed to the age of the weapons used - most of the current issue M249 in US Army are more than 10 years old and quite worn out.
The Minimi is operated using conventional gas action with the gas piston located below the barrel, and the barrel is locked using the traditional rotary bolt.

 Crui : Requisiti minimi. Le proposte della CRUI
15, "Banca dati dell'offerta e verifica del possesso dei requisiti minimi", la CRUI fa presente che il blocco delle assunzioni del 2004 e l'interruzione dei concorsi in atto nel 2005 contrastano con i piani di assunzione dei singoli Atenei nell'ambito della loro programmazione e in particolare di quella formativa.
La CRUI chiede pertanto che, nel calcolo dei requisiti minimi per gli anni accademici 2004-2005 e 2005-2006 vengano considerati anche i docenti previsti nei piani di assunzione del 2004 e del 2005.
Chiede infine che i requisiti minimi non abbiano effetti di retroattività per gli anni accademici antecedenti al 2004-2005 e che vengano tenute in considerazione le peculiarità delle Università di nuova istituzione e, comunque, le situazioni che richiedono un confronto costruttivo con l'Organismo valutatore.

 Machine Guns - Minimi
FN called the weapon Minimi, which stand for ‘mini-mitrailleuse’ or ‘mini-machinegun’, because the weapon is quite small compared to other machineguns at that time.
One of the drawbacks is that the Minimi is unreliable in dessert conditions.
The Minimi and Minimi Para can be mounted on vehicles or on tripods, although a 7.62mm machinegun would be better suited for such mounts.

 Primo Ordine dei Minimi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
La "lezione" che i Minimi consegnano all'uomo in ricerca di se stesso è che tale ricerca esige disciplina, rigore, capacita di distaccarsi da ciò che e a lui estraneo.
I Minimi trovano così una perfetta armonia nella loro vita: professano il carisma della maggiore penitenza; lo accettano con la coscienza di essere "minimi" gli ultimi, i poveri in spirito, bisognosi di aiuto; lo vivono aperti alla Charitas, che e non solo il loro emblema, ma il punto d'approdo di tutta la loro spiritualità.
Grazie al loro carisma, i frati minimi, anche in questo caso, possono offrire all'uomo il loro credibile richiamo sulla strada della penitenza che rende liberi.

FN Minimi (M249) - 5.56x45mm NATO - Belgium - 750 RPM - Designed by Ernest Vervier, the father of the MAG58, the Minimi was introduced in 1974.
The US Army had run tests on the Minimi ever since its introduction, but did not get really serious about the design until the late '70s when long-range 5.56x45mm ammunition was developed.
The Minimi is also becoming the default NATO/Free World SAW with additional major adoptions by the British (the L108A1 and the Para-length L110A1), the Canadians (Diemaco's C9), and Australia (F89).

 Ordine dei Minimi, 3 luglio 2000
Tale impegno, già emerso nell'ultima Assemblea dell'Ordine, chiede di essere tradotto in una presenza significativa ed amorevole dei Minimi nei contesti di forte povertà spirituale, attraverso l'ascolto, la direzione spirituale e la formazione delle coscienze alla riflessione ed alla preghiera.
La tendenza dominante nella società contemporanea, e soprattutto tra i giovani, a ricercare la gratificazione immediata lungi dal portare i Minimi ad attenuare la dimensione quaresimale del loro Istituto, dovrà piuttosto impegnarli a porsi con rinnovato ardore al servizio dei fratelli, per educarli alla grande via spirituale della penitenza.
Con tali voti, volentieri imparto a voi qui presenti ed all'intero Ordine dei Minimi, nella triplice espressione dei Frati, delle Monache e dei Terziari, una speciale Benedizione Apostolica.

The average integrated EMG per unit force of 6 subjects for the middle and little fingers was found to be 0.0344mV/g ± 0.0023 mV/g with an R2 of 0.9866 and 0.0368mV/g ± 0.0023 with an R2 of 0.09865, respectively.
However, normalizing the EMG values by approximating the muscle volume of the digitorum to be 2.25 times larger than the digiti minimi, the digiti minimi was observed to have statistically greater integrated EMG values than the digitorum (slopedigitorum=0.0007mV/g and interceptdigitorum=0.0806mV, whereas slopedigiti minimi=0.004mV/g and interceptdigiti minimi=0.0472mV; P-value < 0.01 at ?=0.05).
A.1), the smallest possible ratio that would still produce statistically significant results was found to be 1.5X (because the intercept and slope for the digiti minimi EMG vs. Force graph are always greater than that of the digitorum; intercept: p-value=0.00183, ?=0.05 and slope: p-value=0.00082, ?=0.05).

 LMO - M249/Minimi Operator & Maintenance
The purpose of the class is to fully explore the technical and historical roots of the M249 / Minimi system of firearms, how to operate them, how to maintain them, how to clean them and how to safely fire them.
What we want the attendees to walk away with is a complete understanding of where these systems came from, how they operate, how to spot problems and fix malfunctions, do minor field repairs, properly fire them for accuracy and for the longevity of the systems.
After our experience in other classes, it is almost recommended that if you own one of these firearms, that you bring it along so that you can learn to spot and correct any deficiencies in older, used weapons.
