You read the title. Post guns that look awesome.
>>253>first picThanks for the nut, OP.
In return.
>>255Im nogun but I like the look of the rifles with a grip like picrel
Something about it being a literal boomstick is just so cool to me
>>264Would look better with a wooden grip I think
>>265It's only 9mm
>>273Well at the time everyone was weaning off battle rifles, Israel probably wanted to stay NATO compliant and have a better round in a less cumbersome gun. Problems with the FAL are basically:
1) Rifle cartridge
2) It's big and heavy
3) Low capacity
All the problems I know of are that it's a battle rifle, rather than the problem being it's a FAL. You can solve most of these by moving down to an intermediate cartridge, you can already see a couple of inches off the barrel and ten more rounds gained in the second pic of
>>272 but I looked it up and the MD is for some reason 0.7kg heavier than the already heavy FAL lol
Pics to show how big the guns are side by side:
M16, FAL, FAL, AKM
M14, Galil, FAL
>>272>do they have a bad reputation in Brazil?They're just seem as outdated and inadequate for the context of the country, not exactly bad, but they have been in service for over 60 years now, and have definitely shown their age.
To better exemplify what i mean, picrel is the IA2, an assault rifle which has been developed to substitute both the regular FN FAL and PARA version, and features these advantages of the Belgium platform:
>lighter by factor of 1,1 kg>shorter>more accurate; doesn't have nearly as bad of a kick as the FAL >better endurance over the countries' biomes>better suited for combat scenarios of 300 m distance, rather than the 600 m, which is basically a post WW2 mentality>smaller caliber; firefights in favelas/slums with 7,62 caliber guns leave a revolting amount of people dead due to stray bullets, so i guess 5,56 can somewhat remedy thatIn case anyone is interested in it, here's an article talking about it:

if they're smart they'd go with the P226 or P320
