What's the difference between T-74 platoon light machine gun and FNmAG?

T-74 platoon light machine gun is a general light machine gun developed and produced by the Army of Taiwan Province Province, China, to replace the Type 57 light machine gun that has been in service for many years, referring to FNmAG produced by Belgian FabriqueNationale Company. The number "74" represents the pre-production in 1974 (1985).

The Belgian FNmAG was introduced by 1958 and adopted by many countries. When designing the T-74, the Joint Logistics referred to the advantages and disadvantages of FNmAG, and considered the technical ability and tactical thinking of the Joint Logistics itself, and then modified it. The modification part of T-74 includes some small details in design, the shortcomings of improving FNmAG, and the characteristics suitable for soldiers' physique and gun habits in Taiwan Province Province, China, and the bipod of Type 57 light machine gun is adopted.

Compared with FNmAG, the main difference is that the quasi-constellation of T-74 is fixed on the barrel, and it will be more difficult to process if it is not fixed. Therefore, Lianqin 205 Factory was changed to a fixed type, and the shutter was added with a wind deflection adjustment button. The barrel of T-74 can be quickly disassembled, and the barrel has the same heat dissipation thread as FNmAG's previous design.

T-74 produced and distributed to the army has high durability and is very popular in the army. In addition to the gendarmerie guard, the army, air force guard, navy and marine corps are widely used.
