Background of the original weapon:
Introduced in the early 1950's The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Leger) is one of the most iconic and widely used battle rifles of the 20th century. Designed by the Belgian company Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN), the FAL has seen service in numerous conflicts around the globe and remains in use in various capacities today.
The development of the FN FAL began shortly after World War II. In the late 1940s, FN began work on a new rifle to replace the bolt-action rifles that had dominated the first half of the century. By 1953, the FAL was ready for mass production and quickly garnered attention for its reliability, accuracy, and powerful cartridge.
The FAL was chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, a standardized round adopted by NATO in the 1950s, ensuring interoperability among allied forces. This helped the FAL become one of the most widely distributed rifles among NATO and other Western-aligned countries during the Cold War.
The British L1A1 variant was produced under license in the UK and used by British and Commonwealth forces. It features a semi-automatic-only configuration and different sight and furniture designs. The fully automatic option was removed for the L1A1 as it was decided that it could only be shot accurately as a semi-auto.
