How a FN FAL works

- The FN FAL (French: Fusil Automatique Léger, English: Light Automatic Rifle), is a battle rifle designed by Belgian small arms designers Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal (FN Herstal).
During the Cold War the FAL was adopted by many countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with the notable exception of the United States. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries. Because of its prevalence and widespread usage among the militaries of many NATO and first world countries during the Cold War it was nicknamed "The right arm of the Free World".

I consider this gun to be a spiritual successor to the BAR: it uses a tilting bolt, like the BAR; and it's designer, Dieudonné Saive, worked with Browning and finished the Hi-Power after his death.
The right arm of the free world...
¨free¨? I believe you mean ´libertine´ world. Not exactly the same thing.

Yet used by most dictatorships in latinamerica in the 70's lmao
I fucking love how the full auto isn't even marked, it's like it's saying "honestly you really shouldn't even be here man"
I wish we had videos like this decades ago when the FNC1 was still in service.
They are still in service in Brasil and Argentina
@@Hashtiger they are still good weapons
Lo usé en el servicio militar, en la marina. Excelente fusil de origen belga y muy bien reproducido en Argentina. Gran poder y confiable 100x100. Indestructible. Muy buen video.
Para recuperar Malvinas !! 💪💪😁
Good rifle, would've been better in 5.56
So many parts producing friction against eachother... And yet everything works.
Amazing!!!
Everything makes sense when you see it in motion.
The FAL is my favorite semi-auto rifle, although a bit heavy, very well made & I bet being a bit heavy would help control it under full auto - especially with the 7.62x51 round... I also liked my para version, well balanced , at least my opinion, wish I'd never had sold all mine.....
7.62?? hmm.. our nieghbour has an fn101 fal chamber in .308 straight from service ( dd destroyer escort captain )
@@harleyme3163 7.62x51 is 308 in not america terms
@@harleyme3163 .308 is 7.62x51 7.62mm is .30th inch hence all 7.62 is 30 cal. Including AK 7.62x39 and the USs new favorite .300 Blackout is an intermediate 7.62x35. The bulletets between the AK and 300 blackout are so similiar they can be interchanged in reloading the casings for either weapon!
I'm with you there. I had two I got relatively cheap in the 90s, Sold 1 to a good friend. My brother has the other. I have none but at least Its still in the family. Wish I never sold my Ruger Redhawk are the folding stock Ruger .556. Just the folding stock is worth 10 times what I paid for the gun! Wish I'd never sold my AKMs. Figured you'd always be able to replace an AK but I was sadly mistaken. I know a guy that owned a fragrance factory, made ok $. He had been buying AKs with all his $. He must've had 7000 are more. The whole roof of the fragrance factory was full of them. When the molybdenum plated folding AKs hit $5 are $6 thou he sold them all and the factory and disappeared! A really good guns like nothing else. Never let it go!
Love the FAL
Loved this Rifle when in the service. Heavy but solid, easy to clean (except the gas plug, which could be a bummer). Changed to Steyr AUG, liked that as well, which Mates said was made by polytoy with all the plastic parts, easy to clean except of course for the gas plug.
We used a match head to clean the groove in the gas plug (New Zealand Army National Service 1968).
I agree with your heavy comment, but also reliable. Very important, that...
At the same time, the Americans were using the Armalite (precursor to the M16) in Vietnam. Our instructors, most of whom had done a tour in Vietnam, had a low opinion of the rifle, calling it the "Lincoln Toy Armalite". Still, the Americans persevered with it and look what it is today.

Hi KiWi. Good to hear from the far side of the planet. I don't know how many rounds You fired at a time but we (Irish Defence Forces) tended to fire once a year. Hundreds of rounds. If we could get away with it we used Brillo pads or steel wool. My first FN (s.n.369) saw service in the Congo and the barrel was so pitted it looked like the surface of the moon. ( when are the ' All Blacks' coming over this way so we can thrash them again?
Hello Joe. The Army didn't stint on musketry and target practice, so, over the course of the intake, we fired away pretty well a truckload...each...
My SLR, like all the NZ Army SLRs, was made under licence in Australia and had fired a lot of ammo before I got my hands on it. We also trained on the FN General Purpose Machine Gun and it was interesting to see, when cleaning them, that the first inch of each rifling land had been worn away.
They were used a lot.
As for the All Blacks providing cannon fodder for the Irish team: good luck with that. Maybe the coach should visit Munster for some tips - being the only Irish side to beat the All Blacks *in* Ireland.
All the same, no one in NZ begrudged the win against the All Blacks in Chicago. It had been a long time coming and very few teams in All Blacks history have scored forty points against them.

Thanks for posting, I waited for such a vid a long time :-)
It is the rifle of the Brazilian army, very good but old.

You have new ones right?IA2 I think,from what I've seen pretty modern

Thanks for posting this, extremely helpful.
Good video, you just answered a couple of questions I’ve had about mine. If we ever meet, the beers are on me.
...O FAL é uma excelente arma sua precisão é impressionante...,lembro bem durante minha passagem pelo EB...
EXCELLENT video! I love the sound effects.
It's gas system is basically very similar to the SVT-40.
@@DoomSlayerLoreAccurate
They operate in the same way and you said it yourself. It's just that the FAL has a one piece piston while the SVT has a segmented one.
@@DoomSlayerLoreAccurate
Tilting breech block isn't a thing, it's called tilting bolt, they're both tilting bolt locked rifles, they have a bolt carrier on which the charging handle is mounted and the gas piston acts on and a bolt which swivels to lock.
Simple, but amazing and well constructed gun 👍
yeah.. heaviest damn rifle I ever picked up.. could barely shoulder it for one shot.. way to heavy... but good luck damaging it. I bet it would shrug off a .308
Thanks to the SVT
Iconic semi auto rifle
Is a automatic rifle. FAL (French: Fusil Automatique Léger)
So the cartridges in the magazine are the unlocking cam for the bolt! Smart!
This has a lot of good information
Helpful video❤
I have this simulator game but I forgot its name.
Nice use for it man!

In south africa we had semi's but some of the guys used to put a match stick somewhere inside and get it to fire auto somehow
A beautiful gun
FAL is still the service rifle on Argentine Army, nowadays modernized to the standard M5
Some were produced in Brazil, and sent to Argentina in 1982
Já atirei com centenas de armas,mas minha preferida de todas é o FAL .muito simples e robusto,e possui uma incrível precisão.
I still recall the full firing cycle on this rifle from the time the trigger is pulled until you released it to fire again. Would love to have a FAL of some sort in my collection but our government says "no, it is prohibited"! Trying to get that added onto my permit would be like trying to find a snowball in the middle of the Sahara desert at high noon.
One is in inches the other metric. The British used metric schematics to make theirs. Magazines are a little different. The British permanently disabled the "fun" setting. Thus making it a semi auto only rifle.
Had many fire fights in northern Ireland with weapon 7.62 great stopping power Also good for the old but stroke on Friday and Saturday nights on Falls Rd
Dear FBI,i didn't search for this,it got recommended.
It's just a rifle, they couldn't give two tosses if you searched it.
Deus abençoe o braço direito do mundo livre,tirei muitas horas de guarda e fiz muitos campos com esse fuzil,e ainda me impressiono em o quanto é confiável
I love the FAL rifle. I used the Argentinians model.
Thx
Im from argentina
After or during the war in the Malvinas, Argentina received a lot of Brazilian-made FALs.
It works exectly like the SVT in the StG body!
The army of my country uses the fall, a great-uncle told me that when he was in the Malvinas the fall overheated Very easy and it turned red hot.
I love it's rifle!
Interesting to see the similarity between this platform and earlier John Browning designs. Obviously this is gas operated where the early self loading designs were short and long recoil, but still.
No relation with the old rifles of Browning who very often copied on the others, the FN Fal was revolutionary with all the innovations, it was a modern rifle with 10 years ahead of all the other rifles, FN should modernize it with lighter materials the Fn Fal is still a modern rifle, it is the first to use the polymer, Saive was a genius without forgetting Vervier the inventor of the M 249 and the FNC
@@hansstrouf The non-reciprocating charging handle, magazine, mainspring and tilting breechblock are all strikingly similar to earlier browning designs in either style, function or both. You’ll also need to further substantiate your claim that John Browning “often copied others”. Please cite specifics. If this is the case I would be very interested to know exactly how. It would change the accepted firearms history narrative quite a bit.
@@hansstrouf this is pretty much a bulkier stg. Nothing new about it
Awesome
wow ...amazing 👌👌👌
hahahaha please ...
Obrigado
Todavía sigue siendo el arma mas usada por muchísimos ejércitos de mundo es increíble.
Tactics: Mount, Scope (You can change it while the video uses this) & Modular Rails (Its not added in world of guns)
It would have been good to see how the rats tail on the bolt and the recoil spring system works in one with a metal folding butt.
IT is best to wield the weapon while wearing chainmail
The equivalent to a modern Lee Enfield simple accurate and powerful unlike some modern weapons
A arma que a pm e o exército brasileiro ama!
so bolt face is machined at an angel if i am right? otherwise it wont hold the cartridge in the chamber tightly
So it's a short stroke piston, falling block locking. Interesting.
This style of lock up is called tilting bolt or sometimes tipping bolt. A falling block is something different, like a sharps, or a martini Henry type action.
Yes. Is a short stroje piston and falling block. Or tiltin block
Das ist Fantastisch!!!
buena ese video por la funcion
I wanted to see the Fal para version.
Bruh, remember the time when this was a trend ?
Feels like ages ago..
If the bolt cover is machined close to the main body, is it possible to extract the bolt?
“sorry, the ice cream machine is broken” me: 0:11
Best vid ever
How does the bolt lock in place while the cartridge is firing?
Perfect for slotting floppies
How does the paratrooper version works?
Luis Guevara I also very much want to know this.
Para works identically to the standard FAL with the exception the return spring is mounted in the dusts cover in stead of the stock and bolt's tail is gone replaced by a hole for the spring.
So a bit similar to the AK?
@@ajb7876 that's if the AK were a tilting bolt short stroke gas piston. It's a completely different system
@@elijahaitaok8624 I was referring to the answer from spanicky73 as to how the recoil spring is fitted into the paratrooper version since it doesn't have the fixed buttstock to houses the recoil spring.
Very cool animation, I really like these. But come on man, an FAL shoots a full power cartridge, therefore not an assault rifle even if select-fire. Its a battle rifle.
Yeah that is why they call it a Battle Rifle in the video description...
Btw you just used the term "Assault Rifle", I hope in the past 2 years you realized that it means absolutely nothing :D
I want to build a ptr 91 but I don’t know how to weld.
Wish there was a Mississippi queen meme about the FAL
Falto el disparo con instalaza
I'm surprised it uses mostly coil springs instead of torsion springs
Si vis pacem para bellum. That’s what dude off The Punisher said.
This weapon was also used by the Irish, in the siege of jadotville
A czy w kolekcji jest MP 40 ?
It holds the mouse by its tail.
how dose this gun work with a folding stock ?
They all work identically.
If you mean all rifles,no they are not all the same the small details make a big difference.
litle changes a svt40,hehehehe
I want to Know how Fal paratrooper works,can you do that?
An Ak-47, but the gas piston is not attached to the bolt and if you break the buttstock the rifle is ruined.

I don't understand why FN stuck with the tilting bolt when rotating bolt is cheaper, more reliable, and faster to make.
As popular as this rifle was, I'm sortof glad it's fallen into obscurity now.
Although the Brazilian army is replacing the FAL by the new IA2, there's a new version of it... a modernized FAL, already being produced using the old ones.
P.S.: The complete Vegetius's phrase is: QUI DESIDERAT PACEM, PRAEPERAT BELLUM.
Teacher: show me whatu has done...

Stressful system
the wood stock look so weird
Our Sgt put a coconut on the floor...held his FN at the present
And just let it drop
Busted that coconut wide open

How reliable is this rifle in the field? Mud rain dirt dust sand ice lack of cleaning, etc.
better than an M16, worse than an AK-47.
Thanks for the reply. Seems like a lot of little moving parts in there cycling the action, seems over engineered and prone to breakage.
@@couchwarrior2449 This rifle was built like a tank. If extraction was becoming difficult, one could turn down the gas regulator to allow less gas to escape and fully extract the round. Worked great in field conditions. The Canadian ones had an exposed bolt carrier with no grooves. Just wipe it clean and good to go.
Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of getting a DSA FAL.
👍

Has anyone ever used the optic sight on an FAL?
With that riser and mount?
Seems like your head (cheekweld) would be WAY out
My experience....that could get painful
I'd rather be right behind the rifle
Yes
Чем проще оружие тем оно сильней безотказней и надежней
Is it just me, or does this thing work similar to an AK?
That's very much just you, the operation of the AK's bolt is totally different (rotating rather than tilting) and the AK uses a long-stroke piston (piston moves the whole length of the cycle of the action), this is a short-stroke piston (does not move as far as the bolt carrier).
Настоящее оружие пехоты, "калашник" лучше для партизан и мотострелков(атака с брони) .
The same as AK47.Hk G3 DIFFERENT in.operation formthem.
