The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger) is one of the most widely deployed military rifles of the Cold War era, adopted by over 90 nations as their primary service rifle. Chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, it was known as "the right arm of the free world" due to its NATO alliance adoption. Produced in fixed-stock, folding-stock, and heavy-barrel variants, the FAL served in conflicts from Korea to the Falklands to Africa.
