Weapon Specs:
DSA Fully forged upper receiver, picatinny rail
Chinese imported scope x6 w/illuminated reticule

This weapon is made in Austria, exported to the USA and is the carbine variant of the FN FAL. Being made in Austria meant that a very ergonomic set of bipod legs were incorporated into the forestock. These give the effect of being integrated, however they are removable.

This will take place in two parts.
This is the first part which covers the following:

It will fire full-auto, you only have to remove the safety ;o)

Chamber a round and it is ready to rock and roll.

For practicing on short ranges < 100m @ man size targets the DAG Training

ammunition is fine, and cheap as dirt (1000 pcs cost EUR 80,-)

@hlmgoertz

Are you saying by mechanically removing the safety catch from the weapon entirely it will become full-auto?!

[WatchRyder]

@crashtest2302

If I had a $ for every time someone said that to me :D

No gun's are not illegal in the UK.

Please check out my other videos and you'll see how and why this is...

@arriscado75

Only if it's been converted to a straight-pull / bolt-action.

[hlmgoertz]

@WatchRyder Yes, then it will fire full auto. When i was in the military we used to do that with our Belgian made FN FAL

[falprepped]

I will tell you what's wrong with the FAL and that is they did not make enough of them and they could have put a little more effort into the rear sight

[WatchRyder]

@ccmm53095

No that is correct, but you are also correct, the gas mech may resemble the SVT but the roots are with the StG and the German WW2 SLR that wasn't as reliable as the SVT.

So we'll agree to disagree:)

[ccmm53095]

@WatchRyder: That is incorrect. The StG44 influenced the FAL conceptually and it was originally intended to fire the same intermediate round (7.92x33 Kurz), but the gas-operated mechanism and internal configuration very closely resembles the Tokarev SVT 40.

[esh325]

@WatchRyder They aren't junk, far from it. They are some what similar mechancally, but that doesn't mean the FAL came from the SVT-40.

[WatchRyder]

@DrZaSCok

What I said was the origin of the FN FAL is with the MP44 NOT the SVT 40.

Hope that clears things up for you.

[DrZaSCok]

@WatchRyder Really? SVT 40 is a copy of MP44 ? Are you serious? Or just trolling me?

[WatchRyder]

@DrZaSCok

No it isn't and thanks.

MP44 / Sturmgehwr is the origin not the soviet junk-rifle :)

One of my favourites too :)
