Actually, it’s the FN FAL, ageneral purpose machine gun, not medium or light.
Being very nitpicky here.
Merely being an arse here, sir, my apologies.
However, the FN Maximi in real life (the successor to the FN Fal) can operate up to 1300 meters.
Now, what some fail to get: it is a SUPPRESSION weapon, it is not made to kill or hurt, but to scare incoming enemies into hiding, primarily.
Of course, it CAN just as well kill, and it’s DARN accurate, maybe even too accurate, according some weapon specialists, seeing it is a suppression weapon.
But well, folks never agree, do they.
Yes, but in fact, it does not exist.
In all fairness: It is the FN MAG, which Belgium allowed to be recreated in Sweden.
Slapping a different name on it, does not make it a new weapon, sir.
And the FN MAG is a General purpose machine gun, still.
Incorrect, and Rambo proved it. XD
JK here.
However, the FN FAL was made so it could be carried by, and used by, one man.
The M249 SAW as well, can be carried and operated by one man, if the need arises.
A nice example would be Animal Mother from FMJ, the movie.
That is based on reality.
