FN HERSTAL*

FN HERSTAL
Der Waffenhersteller FN Herstal aus Frankreich hat sich in der Sechsten Welt gerade durch den Abverkauf seiner herausragenden  Waffensystemen in den letzten Kriegen wie dem Eurokriegen und dem neuen Lateinamerikanischen Krieg einen guten Namen gemacht. Einige Länder und Konzerne statten seit Jahrzehnten ihre Streitkräfte unter anderem mit Material von FN Herstal aus, die in Konkurrenz mit ARES und anderen Herstellen stehen was individuelle und spezialisierte Lösungen betrifft.  Der früher aus Belgien stammende Waffenkonzern FN Herstal war einer der Gründerkonzerne von Esprit Industries und damals mit einer der Hauptaktionäre, mittlerweile ist FN Herstal nur noch eine Tochterfirma von Monobe International. Der Double A hatte durch den Zukauf  nun einen Vorstand bei Esprit Industries inne, die mittlerweile eine Tochter von Atzechnologie ist. Der Single A Konzern gliedert sich in drei den Verwaltungsgruppen FN Herstal Europe, FN Herstal America, FN Herstal Asia die alle unter dem gemeinsamen französischen Zentralmanagement in Paris zusammenlaufen.

SOCOM-LINIE
Die SOCOM-Familie stellt das Flaggschiff des belgischen Herstellers Fabrique National Herstal dar. SOCOM steht für Special Operations and Commandos, erster Ableger der Reihe war in den 2050ern die FN 3000. Mittlerweile hat sich die Palette beachtlich erweitert, wobei die FN 3000, die FN 5-7c und FN P-93 die meist verkauftesten Vertreter der Reihe sind. Die SOCOM-Waffen profitieren neben zahllosen Extras auch von dem für FN typischen extrem effizienten Kammerndesign. Typische Merkmale der aktuellen Generation sind die ausnahmslos elektronische Feuerung, die persönlichen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und der zumindest optionale Schallunterdrücker. Die SOCOM-Reihe ist zwar auf einen recht begrenzten weil speziellen Kundenkreis beschränkt, genießt aber in der Fachwelt ein gewisses Renommee als hochqualitative Feuerwaffen, allerdings führen Kritiker den hohen Stückpreis, die komplizierte aufwändige Wartung und die schwer zu bekommende notwendige Munition an.

FN HERSTAL
Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal (French for National Factory of Herstal) — self identified as FN Herstal and often referred to as Fabrique Nationale or simply FN — is a firearms manufacturer located in Herstal, Belgium. FN is a subsidiary of the Belgian Herstal Group, which also owns U.S. Repeating Arms Company (Winchester) and Browning Arms Company.  FN Herstal is the parent company of two United States entities: FN Manufacturing and FNH USA. FN Manufacturing, located inColumbia, South Carolina, is the manufacturing branch of FN Herstal in the United States, producing firearms such as the M249 and M240 machine guns and M16 rifle, among others. FNH USA, located in McLean, Virginia, is the sales and marketing branch of FN Herstal in the United States. Firearms designed and/or manufactured by FN include the Browning Hi-Power pistol, Five-seven pistol, FAL rifle, FNC rifle, F2000 rifle, P90 submachine gun, M2 Browning machine gun, MAG machine gun, and Minimi machine gun—most of which have been very successful for the company. FN Herstal’s firearms are used by the armed forces of over 100 nations. FN originated in the small city of Herstal, near Liège. The Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre (French for National Factory of Weapons of War) was established in 1889 to manufacture 150,000 Mauser Model 89 rifles ordered by the Belgian Government. FN was co-founded by the major arms makers of the Liège region, with Henri Pieper of Anciens Etablissements Pieper being the driving force and the primary shareholder of the new company. In 1897 the company entered into a long-lasting relationship with John Moses Browning, a well-known firearms designer. FN was an important manufacturer of motor vehicles in Belgium, a development championed by Alexandre Galopin as managing director. Cars were produced in Herstal in the early 1900s until 1935. Production of FN motorcycles continued until 1965, and production of trucks until 1970. One of Fabrique Nationale’s handguns, a Model 1910 semi-automatic pistol in 7.65×17mm (.32 ACP) (serial number 19074) was one of four weapons that were taken from the assassins of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, although it is unknown which of the four weapons actually fired the fatal round. The British .303 Browning aircraft machine gun introduced in the late 1930s and used in World War II was actually a license-built FN Browning design, not a “Colt-Browning” as often claimed. John Moses Browning began development of the Browning GP35 ‘High Power’ (sometimes written as Hi-Power) pistol, the GP standing for Grande Puissance or “high power” in French. However, the weapon was finalized by Dieudonné Saive and did not appear until nearly a decade after Browning’s death. The FN Manufacturing LLC plant in Columbia, South Carolina is part of the military division of FN. It is primarily responsible for the production of U.S. military weapons, such as M16 rifles, M249 light machine guns, M240 machine guns, and M2 machine guns.
