Synopsis
The rugged and powerful FN FAL battle rifle equipped the armed forces of 93 countries in the decades following World War II, and saw extensive combat use in that period, from the jungles of Vietnam to the sandy deserts of Syria. Described as the 'right arm of the Free World', the FN FAL proved its value to a generation of soldiers worldwide during the clashes of the Cold War and beyond.

Paperback. Condition: New. Noon, Steve (illustrator). The FAL dominated the militaries of the West to such a degree that its nickname became the Right Arm of the Free World.Of all the infantry small arms developed during World War II, one that generated the most interest was the German 'assault rifle', the StG 44 Sturmgewehr. This innovative weapon inspired the Soviet AK-47 in 7.62x39mm calibre. In the West, the NATO countries looked hard at new weapons to upgrade their own infantry arsenals and counter the AK-47, resulting in the design of the Fusil Automatique Léger or FAL. It proved to be a successful battle rifle and was soon adopted by the military and police forces of no fewer than 93 nations. This is a compact history of the FAL, which fulfilled every role it was asked to perform and remains a viable and well-respected weapon. Seller Inventory # LU-9781780969039
