Editing FN MAG (section)

===German versions===
The German arms manufacturer, [[Heckler & Koch]], whose 1999 to 2002 owner [[BAE Systems]] — as the result of a 1999 merger between British Aerospace and Marconi Electronic Systems, Heckler & Koch was owned by the resulting BAE Systems — had executed a midlife improvement program of the L7A1 (FN MAG 60.20 T3) to the upgraded L7A2 (FN MAG 60.20 T6) version under contract for the British Ministry of Defence, attempted to make their own variant of the FN MAG. It was designated the HK 221.

This version is equipped with an iron sight line that consist of a rotary rear drum and hooded front post and Picatinny rail atop the receiver. It was meant to compete in the machine guns trials held by the German and French military between 2007 and 2008. The trials concluded with the French military selecting the original FN MAG in 2010, while the German military selected the [[Heckler & Koch MG5]] in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://modernfirearms.net/en/machineguns/germany-machineguns/hk-221-eng/|title=HK 221|date=August 12, 2011|website=Modern Firearms}}</ref>
