SAW - 5.56x45mm NATO - Belgium - 850 RPM - The Minimi Para is just what it sounds like, a Minimi designed for paratroops.  The barrel is shortened to the end of the gas tube, and the fixed stock is replaced with a retractable model.  The price for compactness is a degradation of practical accuracy; you must position yourself just so behind the butt in order to maintain a proper cone of fire at longer ranges. D.E. Watters
