The FN MAG is a gas-operated, belt-fed, air-cooled automatic weapon. It uses the long piston-stroke gas system with the gas regulator located below the barrel.

The air-cooled barrel is quick-detachable, with the attached carrying handle to help handling of the hot barrel. The receiver is made from steel stampings.
