Talk:FN Herstal

message: I'm not a registered user, and not really familiar with editing articles, but there seems to be a discrepancy; on the M16 rifle page it cites FNH winning the contract for US M16 production in 1988, and some quick googling corroborated this with a NY Times story dated Oct. 3 1988, and other confirmations, including FNH's US website.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.222.52.194 (talk) 15:36, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Someone should add a page for the FN FNP-9 and FNP-40 pistol. I would do it, but I am new to this and I am still learning how to do it properly.  Severelyawesome 19:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Done.  I created an FN FNP series page and redirected the 9, 9m and 40 pages to it. I did a bunch of refining over the past couple hours, but I stubbed it anyway because it likely needs more attention.  If anyone feels otherwise, feel free to remove the stub.

thread_title: FNP-40 and FNP-9

message: i've added this as a separate page, because once racing history was added, the main page here would become too large anyway, so i avoided disrupting what careful reading showed to be an FN guns(?) page, and that was and is the companies primary activity.(and in itself a large topic.) I was not sure about categorisation, whether the category motorcycle manufacturer should be there or here, but put it there, FN (motorcycle). - FN was an innovator in the early motorcycle days.

message: This articles makes it seem like FN Herstal is the parent company, with subsidairies Browning and US Repeating arms company. However, in reality, FN is a a subsidairy of Herstal, which in turn owns USRAC and Browning. So FN Herstal and USRAC/Browning are sister companies. all together they form the Herstal Group.
from the website www.fnherstal.com:
The Herstal Group includes Herstal, parent company and two main subsidiaries , FN HERSTAL, active in the Defense and Law Enforcement fields, and Browning / U.S. Repeating Arms Co., specializing in hunting /shooting marksmanship and outdoor sporting goods.
Will we rewrite the article to reflect this? --Boris Barowski 11:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Kind of surprising to see no mention of cars, a very brief of motorcycles and even more brief of trucks. I think it deserves more then just one sentence. FN cars had been made under license in Russia and Germany (AGA), took over Nagant from Imperia  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.134.94.21 (talk) 12:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose splitting the list of weapons into its own article, List of weapons developed by FN Herstal. Keeping the focus of the article on the company itself and its history would be beneficial as the article now is mostly just a list of weapons with barely any information on the company. — Ixtal ( T / C )  ⁂  Non nobis solum.  14:23, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
