| Well, the reason I brought this up here is because I had to carry a darn FAL around for a goot 10K's a day and didn't like it one bit - but I also realised that while the FAL is great for long to medium range encounters, it is not so great for very close range work - except to smash stuff with.
I tend to agree with 5.56x45 - get something like a FAL as a primary and then go either Glock 18, Beretta 93 or HK MP7 for secondary/close in.
Personally, I don't find fault with a Primary Battlerifle and a secondary weapon such as a pistol - be it semi or FA, but I brought this up because of some issues I noticed during my time in service. Maybe it's time to find a happy medium in a battlerifle/AR cartridges....
