What kind of gun is this?

I don’t think I can post it because it’s AP.
That was my first thought too. I'll hold your beer while you go tell those ladies they're doing it wrong. ;^)
Indeed it is. Unmistakable flash suppressor and gas piston.
False advertising.
It looks like an old NATO FN LPMG 7.62mm
I’m also thinking FN because of the carry handle and look of the tripod... Maybe something like the FN MAG/M240? Also, no heat shield on the barrel is a clue. But these look like Qadaffi supporters and FN is more often thought of as a NATO gun... so I don’t know really... doesnt’ help that the receiver and stock are in shadow!
Thanks
Syrian military stuff is still around.
Hornady and Prvi Partisan in Serbia offer it here in the US, and the Serb ammo's probably available internationally.
