Don't even know why people bother to talk about the fact that this rifle can fire fully auto. It's a complete waste of time using it fully auto because the accuracy is shithouse for a start. Plus it builds up with carbon around the gas plug so fast anything more than a few mags makes the gas piston seize. It's a great weapon when used with some control and fully auto isn't it with this rifle and you might as well forget it is even capable of it.
Assault rifle; Battle rifle. An assault rifle is not for battle then? Just for shooting pidgeons on the roof? Stupid terms for encyclopedia kids. They're all automatic firearms, chambered for different cartridges.
The original FN Fal sucks. Thanks to those nato countries its a good gun today. Wen it was first deploy it didnt have a foward assist like wut happen wit M16. They had problem wit the gas system too. Im not sure which country added the feature sand cuts in the receiver for reliability sandy n muddy condition. It could be the israelis, brits, or the canadians.
@gwgn02 true..different tools for different jobs...l1a1 is so heavy and cumbersome compared to the ar-15...but range and power is undeniable compared to ar-15...always a give and take
@breakurselff It was the israelies that came up with the idea of the sand-cuts on the bolt carrier. I believe that they found it out on the six days war when their FAL rifles were put into a real combay test. Probably the FAL's somewhat finicky behaviour on desert conditions lead the IDF to adopt a more robust rifle, and then enter the Galil. The Galil is based on the finnish RK-62, that is basically an improverd AKM, the israelies simply adapted the design to NATO calibers (7.62mm and 5.56mm)
@Neoxiik he's referring to the fact that the rifle is indeed manufactured in Brazil. The G3 was manufactured in many countries under the license of H&K and that doesn't make it less German. The origin, however, might be different.
@wtfronsson It takes some serious control to even have the gun on the level of the target when full auto firing. Dont comment if you havent shot FN FAL before in real life.
@ShindyK2 i mean kind it all depends on the setup like i shot one it was a 10 inch barrel i think and had a muzzle brake...idk wat gas setting it was on but it was actually pretty easy fun too
@ShindyK2 I will comment whenever I want. I still have assault rifle training, even if it wasnt with a .308. I have also taken lectures and viewed training videos. Yes it takes serious control, shooting to kill is what I consider to be pretty serious business.
The recoil control shown in this video is wrong, thats just not how you make it work. His position is awkward and unsuited for consecutive shots. He cant absorb the shots like that, and thats why he is flinching so that the barrel waves.
Battle rifle/Assault rifle, it was 9lbs of iron that weighed a ton by the time you had 5 laps of the square done with it above your head for getting your drills wrong.
one target, one round. if wars were still fought with troops advancing and engaging in large masses over wide open ground, then every soldier would need a full auto, but since most are fought by small units from cover/concealment, full auto just wastes ammo. give armies a high capacity manual bolt weapon such as the excellent Lee-Enfield and train soldiers to shoot.
my mate (legally) owns a FAL. Its pretty nice. We belgians sure knew how to make a good battle rifle (along with the germans ofcourse with there awesome G3 and the Swiss with their Stg 57)
People say that the FAL is uncontrollable in automatic, but i met many people who either where in the belgian army voluntary or with conscription. If you knew how to stand and if you had some muscle power, you could control the FAL good enough.
Actually the term assault rifle is meaningless. It was coined by the media and politicians, as a way of vilifying certain types of firearms. The military uses no such terminology, that I'm aware of. Never during my military career, did I hear the term or use it. Rifle come in a few types, SLR, self loading rifle AKA Semi Automatic, SAR - Squad Automatic Rifle, Select fire Magazine feed. SAW - Squad Automatic weapon, Belt fed squad machine gun, like the M-60 or M-3. It's a Stupid term.
@ANZACS100 Why was it better? it had no auto-fire, the squadies in the falklands were stealing argentinian FAL's for that reason. The argie's also had some 30 round box mags as apposed to the 20.
Agree with you there bud ,the SA80 a1 was a bag of shit when it first come out,unreliable,magazines falling off,forehand grip melting ect ,I longed to have my old faithful the SLR back lol
O Brasil usa o fuzil FAL em suas forças armadas, tanto para batalhas quanto para missões de assalto, sendo que neste caso há utilização também de outras armas. As versões utilizadas pelo Brasil são mais modernas do que as apresentadas no vídeo.
if you dont, than dont say its my choice weapon couse you never fired one.
do you even have fired a gun? if your a kid that play to much fpsgames than
dont say thats your choice couse the rifle got so much recoil 0:39 that guy is shooting it and he is way older than you and watch how much recoil it have
@7SwitzerlandAustria7 Yes i have shot this weapon, and yes i do fire guns and i own a few :(, and also yes i do play fps games, and no im pretty sure im older then that "kid"....ALSO you should learn better english if your going to try and make fun of someone >.> well if you are trying that is
I have a M4 Chambered to shoot 7.62NATO or .308, It looks just like my Regular M4 I was even thinking of going to full auto with the 7.62NATO, check out my video, I have30rd 7.62NATO Mags, and I purchased a Pre 1986 M16 after I got my class 3 weapons trust, why couldn't I use the lower receiver off the M16? I already use it on my 6.8SPC.
@terrence126 so the dictonary is wrong a assualt rifle fires a rifle round a smg fires a pistol round by the way what is your back round with firearms ?
@1bigtarget Yes, your dictionary is incorrect. Assault rifles fire an intermediate(5.56, 7.62x39, 8mm kurz etc) round with true select fire(auto-semi) capability with a high cap mag. Battle rifles use full power(30-06 8mm Mauser 7.62(.308) 7.5x55 7.62x54R etc) rounds and may or may not be select fire capable or high cap. Subs shoot the pistol rounds and are select or full auto always high cap.
@1bigtarget i know your not talking to me but ive been raised with guns my entire life, and i have many family members that are either vetrans or currently serving, and my cousins own a gun shop
@ ripmtb. Seriously. This is the kinda guy who tells all the chicks his pinky is 8 inches. I do however, wanna see the wanker shove a 7.62x51 into a 7.62x39 chamber and make it fire.
@1bigtarget The dictionary? That's not the best place for technical information. The main property of the assault rifle is the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge. If a rifle fired full power cartridges, like the FAL, it is a BATTLE, not assault, rifle.
@WurledPeas The AK 47 uses the Soviet equivalent of the old NATO 7.62 round. That's NOT "little ammo", it's accurate & lethal at 1000metres, (with the right sights) & will penetrate brick walls in urban combat. I think you mean the AK74
@WurledPeas. I was referring to the NATO round in the L1A1, which had iron sights to 600mts, And was lethal at twice that. We had trouble on the range in Ulster with sheep being killed 300+ metres behind the targets, (rising ground with sheep in) when we were on the 600 metre firing-point. It cost the Army money & time to build the back-stop up further. As far as I recall the briefings, the Soviet round was as powerful.
@archolman First, you are called a socialist because you say you are a socialist on your page. Or did you forget? Second, you didn't look up what I suggested. That seems to confirm my original sentence yet more.
The 7.62x39 is nothing similar to the 7.62x51. I would pity soldiers whose leadership felt the AK was L1A1 equal and set up such short ranges.
@WurledPeas. Just checking to see if you had looked at my page. As for my memory of the briefings, it was in the 70's, so we can agree that my memory is fallible re Soviet weapons. As for a short range, it was only used because of security concerns at the larger range, which was set-up for 500mt+ SLR, Bren & GPMG training. These were eventually resolved, of course, after the back-stop at the small-arms range had been raised.
@archolman So because of security concerns at a range set up for .303 and .308 Nato they sent troops to shoot a .308 nato rifle at a shorter range with civilians less than 1000m downrange? And what security concerns might those have possibly been?
@WurledPeas. The shorter range was backed by rising farmland, no civilian buildings, just sheep. The main range had been sniped PIRA, until the high ground overlooking it was secured properly. This was at the start of the Troubles, & by the time it had all been resolved, my Regiment had been posted out of theatre.
@Lonewolf6565 Pretty much. Sad how many people insist on learning the wrong things from the wrong people and then insisting those who know better are wrong.
These FAL's were exported to Croatia by Argentina (along with 15 155mm towed howitzers, ammo, mortars, and grenades in the 90's).
The rifles you see in this video are the ones manufactured under license of FN by DGFM Fabrica Militar Fray Luis Beltran (FM FLB), in Santa Fe, Argentina.
Though the FAL is no longer produced at this plant since all the rifles have been issued (nearly 50,000 of them), the company still produces spares parts (receivers, barrels) which have been exported to DSA.
This is one of the finest battle rifles ever made. They work! Too bad it's gone all plastic. I qualified in boot camp with an M1 Grand. Remember the days of iron men and wooden ships.
Type 3 receiver FM FAL, a company in Argentina. They no longer make this rifle in Argentina. It is the closest copy of the original rifle designed and made by the Belgian at a lower price.
They were made on Fabrique Nationale machines with technical expertise from the Belgians. Too bad, Argentina stop making these.
Today only Imbel of Brazil and DS Arms of Lake Barrington, Illinois made them from the ground up. Entreprise in California make them from imported parts, and US made receivers.
@C172Pilotdude Nope, an assault rifle is a rifle designed to fire an intermediate cartridge like the 7.62X39 as in the SKS or AK family of assault rifles, select fire or not. The FAL fires the much more powerful 7.62X51mm rifle cartridge making it a battle rifle in the case of the SLR's or a Squad Automatic Rifle in the case of the select fire FN-FAL and variants.
@Nicodemus98 As far as the BATF is concerned as far I know, it would still be classified as an assault weapon. You have a selector switch on it, and it goes full automatic. Done. Also the term battle rifle is not defined or frequently used in military field manuals and government documents with concern to weapon classifications. FAL stands for Fusil Automatique Léger - Light automatic rifle. The manufacture does not even specify it as a battle rifle.
@C172Pilotdude The BATF is not responsible for this stupid term, the media is. So any weapon capable of full auto is an assault weapon? That would apply to the M-3 grease gun and M1A1 Thompson as well as the M-2 Browning .50 cal heavy machine gun. The FN-FAL fires a full sized rifle cartridge that makes it a Squad automatic rifle by U.S. terminology. The AK-47 uses an intermediate round, the 7.62X39mm, that makes it an "assault rifle". Been a gunsmith forty five years, I know the difference.
As a gunsmith your are missing a few fundamentals that you should brush up on. One, the main SAW or Squad Automatic Weapon FN 249 fires a 5.56 not 7.62x51 or .308 Winchester. Also the media has only really followed what foolish legislators have coined Assault Weapons. An AR 15 or AK47 is only a true assault rifle when it has a safety seer and select fire. The 7.62X39 cartridge does not make anything an assault rifle, a Mini 30 uses this round and it is not an assault rifle.
@C172Pilotdude The BATF&E, proper letters, does not use the term "assault rifle" on any Class 3 form. They are referred to by there model number and/or name. If it were called anything it would be an SAR, Squad Automatic Rifle. Assault weapons chamber and fire lower powered intermediate cartridges, such as the 7.62X39mm. The 7.62X51mm NATO is not an intermediate cartridge. Light automatic rifle does not mean "assault rifle". The M-60 is a light machine gun or SAW. Is it an assault rifle too?
its definatley not the brittish variant as the ukl variant was semi auto only unless like me ur a sneaky shit and new how to make it full auto hehe but with the recoil semi auto is best i found
what does it matter if you know how to convert it to fully automatic fire? you can't own these guns, and even if you could, knowing how to do it isn't all you need, you need skills and gunsmithing experience to do it.
usernametroubles- In the United States possession of fully automatic rifles without properly paying special taxes and receiving approval from the Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms will result in 10 years prison term in a Federal correction center.
@1962SatanTookOver2 - not to mention they will fucking burn your house down with you inside it. Or you might just get lucky and only get your unarmed wife sniped while she is holding a baby
AlienZygote010 - Yes, Ruby Ridge. An FBI Agent who killed his wife was a Japanese American. I understand that he claimed to had suffered psychological trauma for that. Oh, poor baby.
@usernametroubles actually all you need is a full auto FAL lower that can be found in most major parts stores. Push out the pivot pin and put on the new lower. Not that hard but it will put you in jail 10 years or so in U.S.
This is where the AR-15 platform fails, because it cannot stand harsh conditions. While those in the Armed Forces generally love it due to conditioning, that platform has problems.
Well thats more of an issue with the cartridge than the gun.
There really is no point for a rifleman to have an automatic 7.62x51. One bullet can do the trick, and rapid firing in semi is good for suppression fire.
well, they each have their merits, and do you even have any hands-on experience with either of the rifles? or are you just regurgitating what you've learned from video games?
Have you actually served there and witnessed any of these by you acclaimed "failures"?
Hardware failure and strategical or political failure doesn't have anything to do with ballistics.
I tend to like the 7.62 better and also think it probably is a better military round.
However that doesn't mean the 5.56 is by any means ineffective. Anyway until I actually experience those combat circumstances I'm not really creditible to say which one is better.
The 5.56 coming out of the short 14.5" barrel is only at a high enough speed for about 1-200 meters before it is going too slow to fragment reliably. Without fragmentation, its like shooting someone with a standard 22lr round.
The 7.62x51mm NATO is a rifle cartridge developed in the 1940s and '50s as a standard for small arms among NATO countries.
The 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge was introduced to military service in rifles and machine guns. It was introduced in U.S. service in the M14 rifle and M60 machine gun in the late 1950s. Fabrique Nationale de Herstal's FAL became the most popular 7.62mm NATO rifle in Europe and served well into the early 1980s.
Actually the FAL became the most popular battle rifle in the world, serving with just about every non-communist country except the US (who wouldn't accept a foreign weapon) with the AK being the most popular assault rifle. An assault rifle is generally considered as being a rifle that fires an intermediate power cartridge, I guess in the some of the original chamberings the FAL could be considered an assault rifle, but certainly not in full power 7.62mm.
Don't even know why people bother to talk about the fact that this rifle can fire fully auto. It's a complete waste of time using it fully auto because the accuracy is shithouse for a start. Plus it builds up with carbon around the gas plug so fast anything more than a few mags makes the gas piston seize. It's a great weapon when used with some control and fully auto isn't it with this rifle and you might as well forget it is even capable of it.

@chiluzzdia yes the FAL and the AK 47 are both 7.67 the ak is 7.62x39 but the FAL is 7.62x51 so the FAL has a longer round than the ak 47

Date: 1972
: any of various automatic or semiautomatic rifles with large capacity magazines designed for military use

@1bigtarget The dictionary? That's not the best place for technical information. The main property of the assault rifle is the fact that it fires an intermediate cartridge. If a rifle fired full power cartridges, like the FAL, it is a BATTLE, not assault, rifle.

@WurledPeas The AK 47 uses the Soviet equivalent of the old NATO 7.62 round. That's NOT "little ammo", it's accurate & lethal at 1000metres, (with the right sights) & will penetrate brick walls in urban combat. I think you mean the AK74

Accurate at 1000m my ass.
WurledPeas 8 months ago
@WurledPeas. I was referring to the NATO round in the L1A1, which had iron sights to 600mts, And was lethal at twice that. We had trouble on the range in Ulster with sheep being killed 300+ metres behind the targets, (rising ground with sheep in) when we were on the 600 metre firing-point. It cost the Army money & time to build the back-stop up further. As far as I recall the briefings, the Soviet round was as powerful.
And why do you call me a socialist?
archolman 8 months ago
@archolman First, you are called a socialist because you say you are a socialist on your page. Or did you forget? Second, you didn't look up what I suggested. That seems to confirm my original sentence yet more.
The 7.62x39 is nothing similar to the 7.62x51. I would pity soldiers whose leadership felt the AK was L1A1 equal and set up such short ranges.
WurledPeas 8 months ago
@WurledPeas. Just checking to see if you had looked at my page. As for my memory of the briefings, it was in the 70's, so we can agree that my memory is fallible re Soviet weapons. As for a short range, it was only used because of security concerns at the larger range, which was set-up for 500mt+ SLR, Bren & GPMG training. These were eventually resolved, of course, after the back-stop at the small-arms range had been raised.
archolman 8 months ago
@archolman So because of security concerns at a range set up for .303 and .308 Nato they sent troops to shoot a .308 nato rifle at a shorter range with civilians less than 1000m downrange? And what security concerns might those have possibly been?
WurledPeas 8 months ago
@WurledPeas. The shorter range was backed by rising farmland, no civilian buildings, just sheep. The main range had been sniped PIRA, until the high ground overlooking it was secured properly. This was at the start of the Troubles, & by the time it had all been resolved, my Regiment had been posted out of theatre.

These FAL's were exported to Croatia by Argentina (along with 15 155mm towed howitzers, ammo, mortars, and grenades in the 90's).
The rifles you see in this video are the ones manufactured under license of FN by DGFM Fabrica Militar Fray Luis Beltran (FM FLB), in Santa Fe, Argentina.
Though the FAL is no longer produced at this plant since all the rifles have been issued (nearly 50,000 of them), the company still produces spares parts (receivers, barrels) which have been exported to DSA.

Type 3 receiver FM FAL, a company in Argentina. They no longer make this rifle in Argentina. It is the closest copy of the original rifle designed and made by the Belgian at a lower price.
They were made on Fabrique Nationale machines with technical expertise from the Belgians. Too bad, Argentina stop making these.
Today only Imbel of Brazil and DS Arms of Lake Barrington, Illinois made them from the ground up. Entreprise in California make them from imported parts, and US made receivers.

@Flayer88 An Assault rifle is a select fire rifle. Such as the FN FAL.
C172Pilotdude 1 year ago
@C172Pilotdude Nope, an assault rifle is a rifle designed to fire an intermediate cartridge like the 7.62X39 as in the SKS or AK family of assault rifles, select fire or not. The FAL fires the much more powerful 7.62X51mm rifle cartridge making it a battle rifle in the case of the SLR's or a Squad Automatic Rifle in the case of the select fire FN-FAL and variants.
Nicodemus98 1 year ago
@Nicodemus98 As far as the BATF is concerned as far I know, it would still be classified as an assault weapon. You have a selector switch on it, and it goes full automatic. Done. Also the term battle rifle is not defined or frequently used in military field manuals and government documents with concern to weapon classifications. FAL stands for Fusil Automatique Léger - Light automatic rifle. The manufacture does not even specify it as a battle rifle.
C172Pilotdude 1 year ago
@C172Pilotdude The BATF is not responsible for this stupid term, the media is. So any weapon capable of full auto is an assault weapon? That would apply to the M-3 grease gun and M1A1 Thompson as well as the M-2 Browning .50 cal heavy machine gun. The FN-FAL fires a full sized rifle cartridge that makes it a Squad automatic rifle by U.S. terminology. The AK-47 uses an intermediate round, the 7.62X39mm, that makes it an "assault rifle". Been a gunsmith forty five years, I know the difference.
Nicodemus98 1 year ago 16
@Nicodemus98
As a gunsmith your are missing a few fundamentals that you should brush up on. One, the main SAW or Squad Automatic Weapon FN 249 fires a 5.56 not 7.62x51 or .308 Winchester. Also the media has only really followed what foolish legislators have coined Assault Weapons. An AR 15 or AK47 is only a true assault rifle when it has a safety seer and select fire. The 7.62X39 cartridge does not make anything an assault rifle, a Mini 30 uses this round and it is not an assault rifle.

@C172Pilotdude The BATF&E, proper letters, does not use the term "assault rifle" on any Class 3 form. They are referred to by there model number and/or name. If it were called anything it would be an SAR, Squad Automatic Rifle. Assault weapons chamber and fire lower powered intermediate cartridges, such as the 7.62X39mm. The 7.62X51mm NATO is not an intermediate cartridge. Light automatic rifle does not mean "assault rifle". The M-60 is a light machine gun or SAW. Is it an assault rifle too?

QQ20034 2 years ago
7.62 NATO: 146.6 gr bullet traveling at 2756 fps has 2,472 foot-pound force.
m43: 123 gr bullet traveling 2300fps has 1480 foot-pound force.
7.62 NATO is a full sized cartridge, so it is unfair to compare it to an intermediate assault rifle round.
MurderSoul216 2 years ago

MurderSoul216 2 years ago

QQ20034 2 years ago
Ease of use, durability, and accuracy.
This is where the AR-15 platform fails, because it cannot stand harsh conditions. While those in the Armed Forces generally love it due to conditioning, that platform has problems.
The FAL is built like a tank.

Well thats more of an issue with the cartridge than the gun.
There really is no point for a rifleman to have an automatic 7.62x51. One bullet can do the trick, and rapid firing in semi is good for suppression fire.

The FN FAL is a battle rifle, not an assault rifle
modern definition of assault rifle is 'a rifle that fires an intermediate power cartridge'
the FAL fires the 7.62 NATO which is considered a full power cartridge
looking at the cartige and how big the barrel is I'd say put a scope on the top of the FAL and you've got your-self a Sniper rifle
however with iron sights engaging won't go beyond 500m so that's why modern armies considered the 7.62 "overpowered" for infantry rifles.

With the failures of the 5.56 in Iraq and Afghanistan, I think we need to go back to 7.62.
MurderSoul216 2 years ago
Have you actually served there and witnessed any of these by you acclaimed "failures"?
Hardware failure and strategical or political failure doesn't have anything to do with ballistics.
I tend to like the 7.62 better and also think it probably is a better military round.
However that doesn't mean the 5.56 is by any means ineffective. Anyway until I actually experience those combat circumstances I'm not really creditible to say which one is better.
eduvc123 2 years ago
The 5.56 coming out of the short 14.5" barrel is only at a high enough speed for about 1-200 meters before it is going too slow to fragment reliably. Without fragmentation, its like shooting someone with a standard 22lr round.

The 7.62x51mm NATO is a rifle cartridge developed in the 1940s and '50s as a standard for small arms among NATO countries.
The 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge was introduced to military service in rifles and machine guns. It was introduced in U.S. service in the M14 rifle and M60 machine gun in the late 1950s. Fabrique Nationale de Herstal's FAL became the most popular 7.62mm NATO rifle in Europe and served well into the early 1980s.

@minigun664
Actually the FAL became the most popular battle rifle in the world, serving with just about every non-communist country except the US (who wouldn't accept a foreign weapon) with the AK being the most popular assault rifle. An assault rifle is generally considered as being a rifle that fires an intermediate power cartridge, I guess in the some of the original chamberings the FAL could be considered an assault rifle, but certainly not in full power 7.62mm.
