The current one is the SAW, but that will be replaced by the Minimi, Para version, sometime.

They're basically the same weapon, yes.

Note the lack of heatshield on the Minimi.

Welcome to the forums, SSK. Yes, we are working on the L110A1 (Mimimi-Para) model. Just remember to use search before making a suggestion in the future; someone may have already had the idea or made the observation. :)
