Does anybody like the FN fal?

From what i heard, everybody who used it....

Never used the real thing, but i've heard some cool stuff about it. I know this is no comparison, but it's a nice gun in most video games.

We confiscated a lot of FN Fals in Lebanon.

It looks quite similar our own AG3 rifle.

I have never used the FN Fal, but it's quite good and accurate from what I have heard from others..

Apparently the FAL beats out the G3 in many ways.

Good, reliable weapon. Semiauto.
Provides good stopping power with 7.62 mm...something that the smaller caliber weapons lack.

NZ used it for many years before switching to the Steyr AUG. my dad was in love with them.

I liked them as well but found them heavy the Steyr never really felt right but it was a lot easier to cart around.

Nice rifle, just a little to big for what our current soldiers need. But there is a US company that makes a 16 inch barreled FN FAL. DSA Arms Inc. Here's there website, http://www.dsarms.com/ I owned a Belguim FN FAL for a while. I sold it and got a Gewehr 43. It shot pretty good. But I like the M14 a little more.

I used an FN-FAL at a Tactical Match last month. Accurate ease of operation and nice. But yeah a tad heavy.
