"The snoring"

- CONTENT -
A stolen machine is an easy machine gun from Israel. The Negev is in Canberra 5.56x45 from NATO (later developed a NG7 router in Beverly 7.62x51 from NATO), a well-known and double-served garage. His main goal is a quantified attack weapon. The Negev is developed by the PLO on the basis of the Belgian FN. The Negev is manufactured by weapons industries to Israel and is the tactical machine of the Israel Defense Forces.

Before the Negev was entered into service, the conventional light machine guns in the IDF were the Magag and the Mini, both made of FN Herstal. The benefits of the Negev gun on these sticks are its relatively light weight, its compact size and its durability to difficult desert conditions. Its relatively small size, especially in the "Av Comando" version, allows for confusion with the machine and its use of special operations, without losing firepower and arming capacity. The use of the new model of the Kovon Comando is used by the infantry force, the combat engineering force and special forces. In addition, the Negev can shoot apart from the pits, even single bullets and serve as a personal weapon for the warrior.

History of History
In the 1990s, the IDF planned the machine for export only, according to the IDF specifications. At the time, the IDF did not need it, and he was forced to buy the Belgian mini-carry machine for all of his units, after he began to purchase it, in 1985, for his special units. The Minimi, who had many structural examinations was a small lake, was a problem: his structure did not fit his size and his poker was fragile. Due to the beginning of the development of the Negev machine, the IDF has suspended the supply of infantry units and the battalions of the combat engineering force in the Minimal machine.

In 1993 a deal was examined by the State Comptroller who determined that the long and prolonged development of the machine was done while the IDF could already have been equipped with the Belgian Minimal machine, with a small cost of the Negev machine (for Minim: $1,320 for a net machine, and about 2,220 per machine with accessories and delivery). He concluded his investigation in the following sentences:

The machine design continued until 1995. In 1996, the IDF carried out field experiments in a machine gun, and in 1997 it was received by the IDF and was acquired in quantities to become the main machine of the land forces.

The Negev gained a problematic reputation among IDF soldiers due to the multitude of malfunctions and detainees in the vessel. Following these complaints, the IDF decided on a series of improvements in the machine and the replacement of bullets that were planted in new machine guns. The improved Negev known as the Nabid Generation G or “Giv 2000”, including ergonomic and armament improvements alongside mechanisms and reliability improvements. The new Negev began to be recorded in 2009 and its absorption was completed in 2011.

In 2012, the Israel Arms Industries Company developed a stolen machine in Kimber 7.62x51 mm NATO (as the Hague) based on the Negev. This machine is called a NG7 router and a unique feature: semi-autotic selective shoot, which is nearly non-existent in machine guns, as well as non-controlled lyrical safety mechanisms.

Israel’s arms industries have sold bullets to other countries, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Estonia, India and Thailand.

Technical details (NEGEV LMG 5.56mm)

The Negev is an automatic machine that acts on the basis of gases created during the shooting. He shoots the open-angle system, which means the shot is connected to the action before the shooting, and comes at the end. There is no separation between the action before them and the assassination.
The Negev is capable of full automatic lyrics, both in the archives and semi-autotic selective lyrics.
His caliber is 5.56 mm NATO. The ammunition is US M855 or SS109 (M16/M4 ball) with an increased oxide.
The Negev is fed by a 150-ball attack drum, a box of hundreds of balls, a bullet chain or a standard M16 or cylinder.
Easy weight. Its weight is only 7.6 kg and the weight of 150 bullets is 2.7 kg
