FN FAL

Fusil Automatique Léger ("Light Automatic Rifle") or FAL is a self-loading, selective fire battle rifle produced by the Belgian armaments manufacturer Fabrique Nationale (FN). The design of the FAL is Based off the Sturmgewehr 44. The FN FAL is NOT an Assault rifle. It's considered a 'Battle Rifle'. The difference is that a battle rifle like the FAL fires a full -sized rifle round and assault rifles fire shorter intermediate cartridges. The difference is also seen in the effectiveness of the gun's range. While the FAL can fire at a mid to long range, an assault rifle like the AK-47 can fire short to mid range. The FAL rifle is famous for it's use in the British Army, as well as many NATO countries. It's also seen in many video games Like MW2 and Black Ops as a semi automatic rifle (This is accurate because the FAL has selective fire). The FAL has seen service since the 1950s and is still used today.
