FN FAL

"Known as the "Right-arm of the Free World", the FAL is a Belgian-designed battle rifle mid 1950s. It has been adopted by a large number of European and NATO countries as their main service rifle, and has seen considerable export to developing nations. It fires the full-sized 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge, which packs a significant punch and still retains much of its power out to further ranges. Automatic fire is not recommended due to the significant recoil produced by the cartridge."
