@Bobby Alan The overdramatic and too loud music, the added fake sound effects for every reload (not talking about the slomo sound, i'm fine with that) and the unneccessary camera movement do make this video painfull to watch.
@Bobby Alan I was searching for a video about the FN FAL and this appeared on the top of the search results. I clicked it without taking a look at the channels name, normaly i avoid this channel :-)
It's hard not to love the FN FAL once you use it in service . For me is the 7.62 NATO rifle gold standard. I used it through my early career ('90's) in the Greek Forces (FN FAL Para was the issued rifle in Greek Special Forces , the Marine Brigade and some border battalions from early 70's till the late 90's), and I believe it is still far superior to the HK G3 that regular army units still use ... Now , only a few years away from my retirement I still remember with fondness the FN para (and the occasional FALO) I used to carry in Long Range Reccon Patrols back in time ....
The exact lines are: "It's no war hero, nor is it particularly tacticool. Designed for duty, and nothing else: the FAL harks to an era before Picattiny rails - where customisation meant spray-painting the weapon with situational camouflage.
Nice that you managed to get one ! I was training with a fal a couple of times because it's a heavier rifle than the Steyr AUG that we're using now in Luxembourg. ;) both are nice rifles !
Loved the over the top cover off shot seeing the action working in slow mo. Another rare rifle for our entertainment! Thank you for everything you do LAV! ✌️
India's Ordinance Factory Board still manufactures a licensed version of this rifle I think. Even if the production line has stopped now, I'm pretty sure some paramilitary or police forces still use it. Absolutely beautiful gun
@@Tool683 The Ak203 deal has hit a bump. Some pricing issues and apparently, the rifles are a bit downgraded or something. I think Ak203 is unnecessary. For the frontline troops and for anti terror operations, if a bigger calibre is required then we can fulfil that requirement with the Sig716 rifles. Additional 72000 rifles have already been ordered which takes the total count to around 150,000. The rest of the troops should keep using 5.56 rounds. I mean 7.62 rounds have greater stopping power but the recoil and weight is much more. Improved variants of INSAS or some other indigenously developed weapons like the ones from SSS Defence can be used. I don't understand why entire army is sort of switching to 7.62 calibre. There should also be uniformity. If we use Ak203, we'd be using two different 7.62 ammos. Sig716 uses 7.62 NATO and Ak203 is 7.62 Soviet. Using 7.62 NATO for front line troops should suffice. The rest can use 5.56 NATO. Indian Army procurement is weird. Complete disregard for logistics or uniformity
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Vickers tactical, i used to fire these often (L1A1) when in the brit army some of these versions had the wooden furniture but i much prefered the polymar, great great gun and you handle your fal with extreme confidence and skill no waving about with that long barrel and to the novice that kick can be a bitch great to see these are still around if we were allowed firearms in the uk i would have several which leads me to say guys dont ever give up your guns you will sure miss them when they are gone. love to all you guys across the pond i know you are all going through a rough time right now. peace and love to all.
British Army veteran of 7 years, we initially had these before the SA80 came in, I loved my SLR, we called it the Elephant stopper, fortunately for us those Jumbos never did manage the much feared uprising.

I used to work in the state of CT where the state is a Hub state for the gun maker like Colt, Winchester and Ruger.

After Sandy Hook incident, the state Assault Rifle ban took effect the state audited the FFL inventory and conficiated all ban Assaults' rifle including FAL, L1A , AR-15 surplus (semi auto) and make it a felony to owned any pre and post ban unregistered assault rifle. Colt and Remington and Ruger stop making AR-15 , Mini 14. My friend lost his customer inventory during the state audit and he no longer service firearms and die with proverty two years ago at the age of 72. I moved out of state in 2017.
Go on bitchute.com and look up this documentary "Communism by the back door" by Denise Wise. It will explain to you how and why the US has become a Communist country.
@@dharokthewretched7373 The Soviet Union might have "lost" the Cold War, but not before delivering a final blow and infiltrating communism all over the west
You shot it without the cover, didn't you, you crazy SOB! My favorite gun, shot when I was 17 (1988) twas called the C1 in my neck of the woods and was lucky enough to carry and fire a C2.
Thank you for this very informative video. When I joined the South African Police in 1975, the standard 7,62 FN. Wood but, but baculite / polymer hand, pistil and carry grip.
A couple of points. As to the comments that most FAL nations dispensed with the mag charger body cover and wooden furniture, Canada (the first country to select the FAL outside of Belgium) retained both the mag charger cover and wooden furniture through the rifle's approximately 30 years of use (1958 - 1988). We also had a winter trigger.
Yes .. and the British Army had wooden FALs up until the 1980s, although the polymer ones started to dominate in later years. Apparently the officers would covet the wooden ones!
Beautiful rifle, Larry. I miss my FAL every day since I sold it. It was just a CAI L1A1/R1A1 but it was 100% reliable and sub 2 MOA accurate, even sub 1.5 MOA with its preferred load. I paid $600 for it in 2000. I fell on hard times and had to sell it in 2008. I’ve kicked myself ever since! Love the FAL!
You have a new guy doing the sound design for the slomo? Cuz those reloading and bolt release sounds were awful. Awesome pieces of history though. Larry and the FAL👍
In a previous video...he said in the comments that most videos forward are the real sound of the gun firing that they themselves record. Slow mo cameras do not record sound. So it obviously has to be dubbed. He said there was a few videos to be shown that were done the old way of laying sounds over the video. But once they were flushed out...since everyone is asking for it..that they would be the actual recording they make on scene of the weapons fired. However he will learn there is no pleasing the internet. ✌️
I'm watching youtube while fiddling around setting up home theater system. You guys are doing 5.1 surround sound design?!?! Daaaang, never realized, cool. Also, FALs are cool, I've never seen this variant. Thanks!
I love how popular FALs are becoming again.
Thanks to Warzone
Fuckin op. 2 shot anywhere on the body or 1 shot headshot within range. Best smg and assault rifle
Here cussa warzone 😭
It has always been one of the most reliable heavy-caliber battle rifle.
@@donutrangerr ?
The wooden furniture is beautiful.
Hell yeah, that wooden carry handle is like the cherry on top
That color on the wood reminded me of the Dutch Clogs!!
Pretty slick color imo!!
No wood swells with Moisture and the gun becomes heavy
Wooden furniture overrated af

All the dislikes are people who got killed by the updated FAL in Warzone .

anti gunners lol
Thing is,it’s not the fact of the FAL being good and kills fast,it ‘s fucking annoying how bullets in all other guns just don’t work in games
i bet all 10 soldiers in the luxembourg military really liked this rifle.
Lmao i bet they're basically military contractors
haha there are a bit more than that but i think i get what you wanted to say.
last time i checked there are about 100k people in the military.
@@kiwibom1 I think you need to check that again.
@@kiwibom1 I think it was around 1000 or something like that. They even sent 2 of them to Mali.
@@RandomGuy9 2 lol.
Such an amazing rifle!

Love the wood and steel Cold War rifles.
"It's no war hero, nor it is tacticool. It's purely designed for duty, and nothing more."
I think I get the reference.
@@mysterioustraveller9433 let me guess, Ahoy's right?
Both of you are right!

Do you know de wae?
Nice that you managed to get one ! I was training with a fal a couple of times because it's a heavier rifle than the Steyr AUG that we're using now in Luxembourg. ;) both are nice rifles !
Love the wood furniture..
I've seen a few ARs done in wood and would love one done like that.
Yes but it became very heavy when it rained, the advantage of plastic water does not penetrate
Loved the over the top cover off shot seeing the action working in slow mo. Another rare rifle for our entertainment! Thank you for everything you do LAV! ✌️
Amazing to see how little this FAL moved around under recoil. Very solid and tight fitting parts

@@Tool683 What Tirtha is referring to is the SLR rifles used by police and NCC cadets. But it is about the INSAS rifles you are talking.

@@girishrajagopalannair7945 Yes. FN FAL licensed version was used as standard issue for Indian Army before INSAS
It can still be used as an automatic sniper.
India has transitioned to Sig rifles
Always happy about FAL content on the Vickers' channel!
It warms my heart every time you have a FAL video. Your AK stuff is pretty legit too.
glad you did a video on the FN FAL, that is one of my Favorite Rifles in history and I love the wooden furniture it has
Love the slow motion portion. Seeing all the flex in the rifle is really enlightening. Thanks for another great video.
That was also the standard used by the British army up until the 80s. It was known as the SLR back then in the UK.
Oh awesome! Good old FAL. Appreciate the uploads
I really like the way FAL thought this firearm through! Thx Larry!

Cold War era FALs are Bad ass
Oh Mr Vickers this is lovely thank you.
Looking good Larry
What a classy rifle. Awesome music in this episode too!

Thanks for the great videos and history lessons, been getting caught up on the rest.
Omg the sounds 😍👌🏾 amazing rifle
Hope when the restrictions are lifted, Larry can have another trip to Izhevsk, lots of new toys been produced since his last visit.
So much new information about a rifle I didn't even know existed. This was a five and a half minute learning experience.
thanks for bringin the dopes Vic!
Beautiful FAL with all that lovely wood. Even the little carry handle! So cool.
I now understand why the wooden foregrip would start to crack over time .. look at the vibration wave flexing it at 5:04!
Great job Larry!
I really like this new video format Larry!
A thing of beauty!
Awesome. A treat for FAL fans. Enjoyed the video.

Ask any British soldiers of the pre 90s and they will tell you how the British SLR (Basically this rifle) was the best thing ever
Things went really downhill afterwards

The FAL is just one of those guns you just have to have in a collection it's just like a 1911
It's one of these "Collect em All" guns, you just want to have all the variants
seeing the piston in action is super cool
That folding trigger guard is SLICK!

never seen it shoot without the top cover. that was a cool shot
Great shot of it firing without the dust cover on so you can see the bolt working!
