In all honesty, I wouldn't call the FN, or SMG viable. As much fun as they were to shoot, the C2 was too light for what it was pumping out, and was hard to keep on target. And a magazine fed SAW leaves a lot to be desired, especially when compared to something modern like the C9.
Using FNs in todays world, is like driving that big old 70s pontiac parisienne amongst todays Hondas and minivans.
I still shoot a sterling all the time, and enjoy it, but it, too, really is a nostalgic item. There were over 24000 of the SMGs still in stock. At some point you have to rationalise how you use your wharehouse space.
