Well Belgium I would imagine doesn't allow their citizens to own guns of any sort.

Well obviously FNH is one of the biggest known exporters of weapons anywhere. STG-44 an KAR-98's. Do you guys make 7.62x33mm Kurz, I imagine you can still get 8mm Mauser from Germany.

Of course, whatever the weight was in kgs is one thing, and what it was after carrying for a day or two, is another!
