We discuss the history of the famous FAL, also known as the Fusil Automatique Leger or Light Automatic Rifle

Post-WWII, the West had a problem. The USA was paying the bills, and the USA was going to get what they wanted, cartridge-wise. Deuidonne Saive, head designer at FN, modified his excellent (but already retro, even in the late 1940s) SAFN, the FN-49, to make it what NATO needed. The end result by 1953 was the FAL -The Free World’s Right Arm.

Now i tease @KillerFord1977 about being all over the Caniks, but for a fact he will be all over this one cause he owns most of the worlds population of FAL's. :ROFLMAO: I threatened to buy a 49 many times but never did. i did buy an FAL.
 
If you want to see practically every variant of the FAL in one place watch the movie The Wild Geese. Try and search for the 25th Anniversary edition which has all the theatrical release scenes in it.
