 The '''C6''' is a Canadian designation for the popular Belgium [[FN MAG 60-40 (7.62 mm)|FN MAG]] General-Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG).<ref name="CanadaSoldiersC6">Dorosh "C6 General Purpose Machine Gun"</ref><ref name="McNabM240">McNab 2018, p.32</ref> The machine gun first saw service in the Canadian military as a vehicle mount in the [[C2A1|Leopard 1 tank]] when it was introduced in 1976. The C6 would then expand from its role as a vehicle-mount weapon into a weapon for the infantry in the mid-1980s.<ref name="CanadaSoldiersC6"/>
