Too many FALs laying around the government's armory. When they transitioned us from the FAL to the IA2, they gave us the ordinary no food for 4 days course. Water was readily available. Just no food for 4 days. Two phases.
First phase was boot running for 10 miles with FALs from the 1990s hanging around your neck. I'm talking boot running. And then diamantling and lubricating the FAL. Then another 3 mile boot run and the stand with your old rifle. You had to shoot while you were gasping.
At the third day (no food at all), your received a brand new IA2. Dismantling and lubricating it. An able instructor to every man teaching how to adjust the open sights. A 3 mile run and then the range. God Bless, it is much lighter. 100 shots. Every man got better results
Ok, the IA2 is the better rifle. Which it is
