[edit] FN35 Question

What is the FN35? Is it an 9mm pistol maded by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal? See: Indian Army--Jcw69 13:50, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think it's probably referring to an FN-built Browning GP35 High Power Ian Dunster 21:22, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Browning is owned by FN

Is it worth mentioning that the FN-HAR has been a staple assault rifle in the fictional Shadowrun Pen-and-Paper RPG since it's creation in the 80's?

[edit] FNP-40 and FNP-9

Someone should add a page for the FN FNP-9 and FNP-40 pistol. I would do it, but I am new to this and I am still learning how to do it properly. Severelyawesome 19:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. I created an FN FNP series page and redirected the 9, 9m and 40 pages to it. I did a bunch of refining over the past couple hours, but I stubbed it anyway because it likely needs more attention. If anyone feels otherwise, feel free to remove the stub.

[edit] FN motorcycles

i've added this as a separate page, because once racing history was added, the main page here would become too large anyway, so i avoided disrupting what careful reading showed to be an FN guns(?) page, and that was and is the companies primary activity.(and in itself a large topic.) I was not sure about categorisation, whether the category motorcycle manufacturer should be there or here, but put it there, FN (motorcycle). - FN was an innovator in the early motorcycle days.

[edit] FN Herstal <-> USRAC/Browning <-> Herstal Group

This articles makes it seem like FN Herstal is the parent company, with subsidairies Browning and US Repeating arms company. However, in reality, FN is a a subsidairy of Herstal, which in turn owns USRAC and Browning. So FN Herstal and USRAC/Browning are sister companies. all together they form the Herstal Group.

from the website www.fnherstal.com:
The Herstal Group includes Herstal, parent company and two main subsidiaries , FN HERSTAL, active in the Defense and Law Enforcement fields, and Browning / U.S. Repeating Arms Co., specializing in hunting /shooting marksmanship and outdoor sporting goods.

Will we rewrite the article to reflect this? --Boris Barowski 11:21, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Please feel free to better clarify the relationship. Arthurrh 16:17, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Have at it bro. —Thernlund ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 18:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I took a crack at it. Hopefully it makes sense now. Arthurrh 19:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
