The FAL battle rifle has its counterpart in the Warsaw Pact the AKM and variants.

Formally introduced by its designer Dieudonné Saive in 1951, and produced two years later, it was described as the “Right Arm of the Free World”. The FN created what is possibly the classic post-war battle rifle. Then Germany that bought the rights to the Spanish CETME, with some modifications, Heckler & Koch created the HK G3, the most notable competitor of the FAL. The FAL’s success could be even greater if the FN had sold the FAL’s production rights to West Germany, where it was known as the G-1, but the FN rejected the request. Various versions of the FAL have also been approved in Turkey, Australia, Israel, South Africa, West Germany and several other countries. The FAL was adopted by the Brazilian Army in 1964, and its endowment lasted four decades, culminating in the adoption of IMBEL A2, also of the FAL platform, in 2015. Next was Austria under the name Stg.58 manufactured by Steyr. In 1957 the English army followed the Canadian example and adopted the FAL, in this only semi-automatic version under the name L1A1, which were normally supplied with optical sights. In 1955, Canadians started producing the C1 and C2 rifles, the latter a version with a heavy barrel, known in Brazil as FAP. This action came from Canada, with slight modifications to the name C1. The FN modified the FAL because of this standardization, the first FALs were ready in Belgium in 1953, but Belgium was not the first country to approve the FAL as a standard rifle. Eventually, the T44 won, becoming the M14. 30 Light Rifle faced the redesigned T25 (now redesigned as the T47) and an M1 Garand variant, the T44. The “.30 LR” cartridge was in fact standardized afterwards as the 7.62×51 NATO, however, the USA continued with weapons testing. The FN even agreed to produce royalty-free FALs in the United States in 1951. After this test was completed, US Army officials suggested that the FN redesign the weapon to fire the US “.30 Light Rifle” prototype cartridge. That same year, the United Kingdom presented the armament to the United States for comparison tests against the preferred model of the United States Army.of the time – Earle Harvey’s T25. After only one prototype was made, the project was abandoned. In 1950, Belgian and English engineers created a prototype in a bullpup format, the EM-2. 280 (7.43 × 43mm) due to the ballistic results of this caliber, which was also in the dispute to be standardized by NATO. At the end of 1940 the Belgian engineers went to England and started using the British cartridge. So it is not surprising that both are mechanically very similar. Using the German intermediate cartridge 7,92X33mm, from the Sturmgewehr 44, the project was led by the team from Dieudonné Saive, who at the same time worked on the SAFN-49 rifle. The history of the FAL began around 1946, when the FN began to develop a new battle rifle. It is manufactured by the Belgian company Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal, in response to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s demand for standardization at the end of World War II. The FN FAL (Light Automatic Rifle), is one of the most famous and used military rifle designs in the world. The United Kingdom-related countries, Commowealth, use a semi-automatic fire variant designated as the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle. It uses the 7.62 × 51mm NATO high energy caliber (although it was originally designed for the. Due to its prevalence and widespread use among the armed forces of many NATO and First World countries during the Cold War, it was dubbed “The right arm of the Free World “. It is one of the most used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries. The FAL (in French : F usil A utomatique L éger, in Portuguese: Light Automatic Rifle), is a battle rifle created by Belgian designers Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal ( FN Herstal).ĭuring the Cold War, FAL was adopted by several countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with the notable exception of the United States.
