x Use the proper ammunition.
The barrel and the breech block of this carbine have been made with
substantial safety margins over the pressures developed by the
5.7 x 28 mm ammunition especially conceived by FN HERSTAL.
However, FN HERSTAL / FN AMERICA assumes no liability for
accidents which occur through the use of rounds of different caliber
or not fabricated according to the FN HERSTAL standards.
FN HERSTAL / FN AMERICA cannot assume any responsibility for
the use of unsafe or improper arms and ammunition combinations. It
is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in this owner’s
manual and on ammunition boxes.
x Only use specially coated factory loaded ammunition.
The use of any non-factory loaded and coated ammunition can result
in pressures leading to personal injury as well as to damage to the
firearm.
