FN FAL
The FN FAL is a combat rifle made in Belgium. It was most popular in the mid 20th century and became known as the "Right arm of the free world".
It has a long range, good accuracy, and is reliable. The downside is that it is slightly heavier than some alternatives, like the M-16 and the AK-47.
The powerful 7.62 x 51 mm NATO round was good at long ranges and for penetrating through cover such as trees and walls. However it made the rifle difficult to control in fully automatic mode, and so many militaries disabled that feature.
It was used by the Israeli army[1] during the Six Day War, performing well in the Sinai Desert.

It was also used in several postcolonial wars in Africa. It was used by the Irish UN force in the siege of Jadotville, and by government forces in Rhodesia. The FAL was also adopted by South Africa.
Both sides in the Falkland Islands war were armed with the FAL. The Argentinian version was capable of full-auto fire.
