FN's Fabrique Nationale Carabine was the company's first successful entry into the 5.56x45mm assault rifle market. Rather than attempting to scale down the earlier FAL (an effort which had already failed once with the ill-fated FN CAL), FN's engineers chose to base the rifle's internal workings on those of the proven AK-47. The FNC is considered to have an acceptable level of reliability for military service, though users frequently have issue with its relatively heavy trigger pull. The FNC was manufactured in both full-length and carbine versions and with both fixed and side-folding stocks. Semiautomatic-only variants were sold on the law enforcement and civilian markets.

  • FN's Fabrique Nationale Carabine was the company's first successful entry into the 5.56x45mm assault rifle market. Rather than attempting to scale down the earlier FAL (an effort which had already failed once with the ill-fated FN CAL), FN's engineers chose to base the rifle's internal workings on those of the proven AK-47. The FNC is considered to have an acceptable level of reliability for military service, though users frequently have issue with its relatively heavy trigger pull. The FNC was manufactured in both full-length and carbine versions and with both fixed and side-folding stocks. Semiautomatic-only variants were sold on the law enforcement and civilian markets. During the Twilight War, FNCs saw use mainly in South America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. In the European theatre, it was the standard-issue infantry rifle of the Belgian military. Swedish forces deployed a modified license-built variant designated AK 5.
