Way better in or out of action than the meagre 5.56 that replaced it. <br /><br />I have used both in action in Southern Africa, as well as 7.62x39 and 7.62x54R.<br />My first choice would always be FN-FAL, second choice 5.56, third choice AK-47.<br />Best choice for SAW type weapon - PKM in 7.62x54R. It outguns the 7.62 Nato and is virtually indestructable. Rate of fire is not great though. If you can really reach out accurately to 2000m, you don't need a lot of lead flying downrange.<br /><br />Excellent article. The FN-FAL is still made under license by a number of countries in metric and imperial variants - Brazil and India are two still manufacturing them.<br /><br />It looks like FN-Herstal have changed to the more compact Kalashnikov/Stoner type design without having all the springs and things in the butt for their new offerings. Check out their 5Seven for a beautiful piece of equipment. It will NEVER be legal here in South Africa though. Pity...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
