Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The FAL is a gas-operated weapon that is driven by a short-stroke piston containing a spring which is located above the barrel. It uses a locking mechanism in which the action locks by dropping down into the receiver, similar to the SVT-40 Rifle action. A controversial design feature of the FAL is the regulator behind the front sight that controls the gas system to adjust the rate of fire, or chamber pressure for firing unsuppressed, or suppressed rounds, or to correct for environmental conditions. The system can fire rifle grenades if a blank cartridge is loaded by using the gas plug to bypass the piston. For rifles with a fixed stock, the stock houses the recoil spring, whereas folding stock, or stockless rifles have to use a modified lower receiver to function without issue, although these are interchangeable, as well as a new bolt-carrier and recoil spring. The regulator at the rear of the end sight, also reduced recoil by releasing pressured gas out of the fore-end, although in fully automatic the rifle experiences severe recoil and barrel climb, due to it's heavy caliber.
The rifle enjoyed great success with NATO countries however, of which it became the main rifle of NATO, earning it the nickname 'Right Arm of the Free World'.
