NEW FN firearms. Including M249 SAW semi auto

This. My limited experience with them included an excellent fam fire where all the 249's went down before lunch. The Negevs took up the slack.
i carried a saw in iraq and afghanistan. loved it.
the main problem with them is operator error loading linked ammo. other problems ive seen are guns bone dry. or over lubed (a spray bottle of clp does not fix everything lol), or its dirty as hell. there is a dust cover to flip down to protect the bolt lol. when i was on missions, i would unload and wipe down the inside and relube my saw every few hours or when i could. never had one problem out of any of mine.
and every single one made will jam with a standard m16 mag instead of linked. they cant get off more than a few shots before something goes wrong. the RPM is just to fast in full auto to strip out of a magazine.
Once again, this just doesn't feel the same.
FN rep confirms a price around $7k! Wowzers!!
$7k for a 20lb, semi- auto, 5.56?! 
Just think you could link up 10K rounds of 5.56 and waste money all day long without having to reload once!
