Yes, and a G3, an M-14, and a full-auto BAR. BAR was my favorite.

If it isn’t select-fire it’s not a FAL.
You own a FSL.

you are so wrong it's actually funny. the only "FSL" rifles are argentine imports, also C1/L1 rifles were semiauto only.

Most countries removed their rifles ability to fire in full auto. Tbqhp full auto feuatures of a battle rifle were mega retarded. None of them from the FAL to the STGw. 57 did it make them better and by removing it only made them better.

There are 3 legitimate gripes

>most can't safely costume slav produced steel case range garbage, but real OGs fed with $50 battle packs instead

Considering real NATO surp is brass cased I don't know what people expected. The accuracy is pretty mediocre but kind of average 50's combat rifle tier, 3 MOA or so
Anonymous No.64229591 >>64229631
>>64229576
Considering SVDs were around 3 MOA on a good day, it still can fit the role of rifleman for extra range if everyone else is rocking carbines that struggle at 500 meters. If its under 4-5 MOA it genuinely doesn't matter for infantry roles outside of marksmen/sniper roles, which obviously should be using .338 Lapua or something with better ballistics than M80 Ball.

I see the FAL and G3 like a milled versus stamped AKM. The stamped guns obviously are better for mass production but the milled guns have that chunkiness and more handmade feel to them even if its a robot milling them on the DSA guns.

FALs can do great things with handloads. That's my L1A1 at 150m last year, the rings are about two inches wide. 150gr Nosler B-tips for bullets

Well, except for it being easy to unjam and not being sensitive to sand and dust. Or holding zero. Or a fire selector that doesn't make you unshoulder your rifle.

DSA QC is bad?
Anonymous No.64232780 >>64232839

It has no problem holding zero at all, the sights being on separate bits of the gun isn't the most accurate solution but you will arrive at a repeatable zero. On metric guns the front sight is pretty much immovable, on inch guns there's a rather questionable set screw holding it in place but you can loctite that down if yours tends to come loose. Both have a rear sight with positive "clicks" and I haven't seen it run away, wobbles a bit but that's all.
The fire selector is not much different from an AR, on metrics it's perhaps a bit harder to handle with slippery hands. The FA position is a bit weird, but the intention was probably pretty much never to use it. The sand part I will give you, though, it's a clockwork precision instrument like the K31 and both hate sand in all forms. You will feel every piece of grit that gets in the carrier rails. I don't feel like it's particularly hard to unjam though, in that respect it's quite AR-like I guess
Anonymous No.64232839 >>64232876

Any jam that would be easily fixed by a different type of charging handle or forward assist requires the gun to be field stripped. It's why the IDF designed a forward assist for it after the 1967 war.

>>64232839
I mean sure but that's much like the AR
It even has the same annoying problem that if the jam happens so that the rat tail extends into the stock (like the AR carrier into the buffer tube) it's very, very hard to unjam
