Minimi

<tabber>Minimi 5.56 Mk3=
One of the most widespread machine guns in the world, the FN Minimi was ubiquitous throughout NATO forces as the go-to LMG and Squad Automatic Weapon in standard, paratrooper and vehicle-mounted variants. The Minimi Mk3 is a modernization of this extremely common weapon, replacing the buttstock with a thicker 5-position retractable one that also features a 2-position vertical adjustment cheek rest. The Mk3 also has an improved bipod and handguard, with ergonomic improvements to the feed cover, feed tray and cocking handle, and an additional third rail. 
Although introduced first in 2013 as an upgrade program and new standard configuration, the Mk3 was slow to be implemented beyond Belgium due to the disorganized response to the invasion in Europe. The formation of the Anglo-German Alliance in 2015 did not ease the Mk3's acceptance either due to disagreements as to whether or not the Minimi, (as the L108A1 and L110A2 for the British) or German MG4 would see preferential support. Germany represented the central core of coordinated military efforts in Europe at the time and had no interest in adopting the Minimi, but the fact was that the Minimi was the more strategically useful weapon due to how common it was. Influence from the Scandinavian Federation also played a role, and by the time Hanse Behörde propelled the establishment of Deutsche Waffenfabriken, proponents of the MG4 had no choice but to finally relent. Through DFW, the production of newer Minimi's was finally standardized to the Mk3 configuration, and Minimi's already in use throughout Europe were able to undergo upgrading. By the time the European Federation was formed in 2019, every Minimi intended for infantry use by the Federal Army was a Mk3.

|-|Minimi 7.62 Mk3=
The original Minimi was designed to fire 7.62x51mm rounds and was redesigned to 5.56 to fall in line with the adoption of the intermediate cartridge by NATO. In 2003, US special forces requested a heavier caliber version of the M249 (the American adaptation of the Minimi), leading to these original plans being reviewed and used to create the Mk48 Mod 0, or "Maximi". The praise received for the weapon lead to its implementation in a broader scale with several national militaries, such as Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Spain, Chile, and the United Kingdom. When development of the Minimi Mk3 began, FN Herstal included accommodations for ease of convertibility between the two cartridge sizes. Since production of the weapon was assumed by DWF in 2016, the European Federation has ensured that the 7.62 Mk3 is the more common variant encountered, with the 5.56 variant typically only being outfitted to special units like the Special Operations Executive or certain police units under the Ministry of Justice.
