“	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.	„

History

The FAL is a selective-fire, gas-operated action battle rifle. The FAL is designed by Belgian small arms designers Dieudonne Saive and Ernest Vervier and manufactured by FN Herstal. During the Cold War the FAL was adopted by many countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with the notable exception of the United States. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries.

Trivia

• FAL stands for Fusil Automatique Leger which means in English (translated from French) "Light Automatic Rifle."
• In-game models seem to be modeled after the Austrian variant, Sturmgewehr 58 (StG 58), with its distinctive handguard and flash suppressor.
  • Though the in-game model lacks the bipod.
• The FN FAL has identical damage model, ballistic performance, and handling characteristics as G3A3. The only differences between the two weapons are the reload speed and zero options for their respective iron sights. (The FN FAL's iron sights can be zeroed for shooting at 100-600 meters away while the G3A3's iron sights can only be zeroed for shooting at targets 100-400 meters away.)
