  • The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger) was designed by Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier from 1947 to 1951. It is also called the FN LAR (Light Automatic Rifle), the English translation of its Belgian French name. The fact that there are so many variants, made by different countries and different names for the same models, causes a lot of confusion regarding what particular FAL is in what movie. For the most part, only the major variants of the gun will have been seen in movies with wide distribution, (the original Belgian version, U.S. versions, the Israeli Versions and British/Commonwealth Version). The early FAL prototypes were chambered in intermediate cartridges like 7.92x33mm and .280 British, in an attempt to create an assault rifle along the lines of the German Sturmgewehr 44, but after 7.62x51mm NATO was adopted as the standard NATO rifle cartridge, the FAL design was altered to accommodate the more powerful round.

    The original wooden stock FN FAL was a solid piece of rifle. As our sergeant (Belgian Army 1986) mentioned : if you run out of bullets you can still use it as a club. The later "plastic" versions were not that solid.

    There is a movie missing (besides Red Dawn from 1984): The Wild Geese with Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Hardy Krüger, Roger Moore and Stewart Granger. The mercenaries use FAL (probably L1A1) and the Zembalese soldiers, too.

      It's a surprising omission - it's like the OG "fantasy 1970s African mercenary" film with FALs all over the place. There's also all those episodes of 1970s Dr Who with UNIT, and bits of Who Dares Wins, the Lewis Collins film. And Tumbledown, the Falklands drama documentary.

      @@helbent4 I think you're right. I have to re-watch Red Dawn as I cannot remember that these solders were marked as being Nicaraguans. And I wouldn't put FALs in Nicaraguan inventory either. But maybe these were 'liberated" South-African R1 donated to Nicaragua by their socialist American neighbour Cuba. Who knows what the story teller had in mind. 😀 Unfortunately we had G3s and I never had a chance to even touch a G1 (as FALs were called here).

    • @helbent4
      @helbent4 Před 25 dny +1

      @@blackcathardware6238 The fan theory I heard was that as Nicaraguans commonly used the "FN" (as the FAL is called here in Canada) this was who those soldiers were. Cubans would be using AKs. Mexico was also a Soviet ally but mainly used the G3. During the Nicaraguan Civil War (1978-79) both government (Civil Guard) and rebels (Sandinistas/FSLN) all used FNs. Cuba supplied 20000 FNs to the FSLN late in the war but it's unclear where these came from. Eventually, Nicaragua would transition to AKs by 1990 but the FN would have been very common there when the movie was made in 1984 (although it is supposedly set in 1989).

    The gun that FAL'd so badly in the 1968 war, that the Israelis parked it and took on the Galil in 308.
    A 2004 trip to a GSmith and NC SWAT Armorer (Former Navy LtCom), where he did some drill and tap on an AR10 Swan Sleeve, and he got a look at the 308 Galil with Chuck Taylor Mods, appears to have helped the 2007 EBR upgrade of the M14/1A.
    Chuck T and Jeff Cooper were big on the 16" 308 Battle Rifle. It carried on after some years of silence, and the need for something real in Afghanistan. It seems to be sticking in the 308 variant of the M7, had they dared to make a 13" 308 variant it would be nakedly apparent. 308 will be getting some attention as the barrels go towards 13" and the suppressors are added.
    Enjoy the vids on 20" and 16" 308s. They are no longer contending for the need.

      That even was Bloody Sunday, happened on January 30th, 1972, in Belfast, Northern Ireland, which is still under British sovereignty.
      The British (mainly the English) and Irish have had a tense relationship for many centuries, and the Troubles that lasted between the 1960s to 1998 was the height of these hostilities between Catholics and Protestants in the 20th Century.
      On that day, there was a civil rights march to protest the British government’s internment of Catholics without trial. Reports are mixed, whether it was a breakdown of communication, or if some members threw stones and rubbish at the soldiers, either way, warning shots then turned into a full on shooting.
      Nearly 30 Catholic civilians were shot, with 13 being killed at the scene, and 15 wounded. One died four months later due to complications of his injuries.
      The event was covered up initially, but after the Good Friday agreements in 1998, the event has been highly covered, analysed and criticised.
