In the field of defense, the name Fabrique Nationale Herstal (FNH) has been synonymous with innovation, quality and dependability for more than 100 years. FNH was instrumental in the design and standardization of NATO’s 7.62x51mm and 5.56x45mm ammunition. The acceptance of military weapon designs like the M249, M240, various .50 caliber machine guns, and FAL (Light Assault Rifle) by more than 90 nations demonstrates our commitment to excellence. Today FNH also manufactures the M16 assault rifle under license for the U.S. Military.

For more than 100 years FN Herstal and the Herstal Group have successfully equipped generations of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines. Our solid reputation can be attributed to our rigorous professional ethics, our ongoing effort to achieve foremost quality and our commitment to efficient service and outstanding customer support. Every weapon we build proudly bears the FN oval, a mark that represents more than a century of experience making the finest weapons in the world.
