RE: Rifles That Changed Modern Warfare: FN FAL

in #technology7 years ago

Growing up near Belfast this was the ubiquitous rifle carried by almost every soldier in the Northern Ireland 'troubles' conflict. It was impossible to drive for more than a few miles even outside the city in the 70s and 80s and not be stopped by a patrol bristling with SLRs(the Commonwealth name for the rifle was the Self Loading Rifle).

Sort:  

That's good to know that you were a witness to that terrible conflict.
