OK, this morning FN Herstal set the hype train rolling and announced they are introducing a new machine gun next month. Let's take a look at the teaser...

Oooh look, triangles. This looks like the a forend raised up for a long uninterrupted top Picatinny rail.
This is significant hype from a company not known for 'hype'.
So one thing we do know is that it's chambered in at least 7.62×51. Which hints at a potential replacement for the Maximi.
Likely also capable of chambering 6.5 too.

We get a few shots of the spent cases and links ejecting out of the action. Looks like same layout as the Minimi/Maximi but with some different receiver architecture. Machined rather than stamped etc.
Another shot of that triangular framework on the forend. Lots of room for air to get at the barrel.
Seen similar on KAC's LAMG.

Tantalising. We get a few other oblique looks at the receiver but nothing significant. I guess we'll have to wait until May 6th.
