The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger) was designed by Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier from 1947 to 1951. It is also called the FN LAR (Light Automatic Rifle), the English translation of its Belgian French name. The fact that there are so many variants, made by different countries and different names for the same models, causes a lot of confusion regarding what particular FAL is in what movie.  For the most part, only the major variants of the gun will have been seen in movies with wide distribution, (the original Belgian version, U.S. versions, the Israeli Versions and British/Commonwealth Version). The early FAL prototypes were chambered in intermediate cartridges like 7.92x33mm and .280 British, in an attempt to create an assault rifle along the lines of the Nazi German [[Sturmgewehr 44]], but after 7.62x51mm NATO was adopted as the standard NATO rifle cartridge, the FAL design was altered to accommodate the more powerful round.

Variants of the standard FN FAL:
 +
 
 +
*50.00: Standard version. Licensed clones of the 50.00 are made by IMBEL of Brazil as the IMBEL LAR, and by DGFM of Argentina as the FALM IV (Fusil Automatico Liviano Modelo IV).
 +
*50.61: Paratrooper version with folding stock and standard 533 mm (21.0 in) barrel.
 +
*50.62: Paratrooper version with folding stock, short 458 mm (18.03 inch) barrel, and folding charging handle.
 +
*50.63: Paratrooper version with folding stock, shorter 436 mm (17.16 in) barrel, and folding charging handle.
 +
*50.64: Paratrooper version with folding stock, standard 533 mm (21.0 in) barrel, hiduminium alloy lower receiver, and folding charging handle similar to the L1A1.
 +
*G Series: A series of 1,836 semi-automatic FAL rifles imported into the United States by Browning Arms Company from FN between 1959 and 1963. They had a selector that could not be moved to the fully automatic position, and did not have the automatic sear. Changes with ATF standards meant that these import FAL rifles, previously considered to be not machine guns, are now machine guns and will be subject to the NFA. The rifles already imported into United States remain legal and are exempt from the NFA. G-series rifles are identical to early FN production guns and are not modified for importation.
 +
*StG 58: The Sturmgewehr 58 is the former standard infantry rifle of the Austrian Armed Forces. The StG 58 featured a unique hybrid flash hider/grenade launcher muzzle device, and also featured a bipod and a ribbed metal handguard.
 +
*G1: The G1 is a variant adopted for a relatively short period by West Germany. It features a bipod and ribbed metal handguard like the StG 58, but has its own muzzle device.
 +
*T48: A version of the FN FAL trialed by the United States in the mid-1950s, but was not adopted; the [[M14]] was adopted over the T48.
 +
 
 +
Note that FN LAR is simply a foreign English market name for the FN FAL. There is no actual difference between the FN LAR and FN FAL.

The L1A1, also commonly referred to as the SLR (Self Loading Rifle) is the British version of the FN FAL which also saw extensive service with other Commonwealth countries. They are commonly referred to as "inch pattern" rifles (as opposed to the FN FAL which is "metric pattern") due to the rifle being designed and tooled to imperial measurements, but they also feature a number of design changes and improvements (it is these changes in the pattern which make inch and metric parts generally non interchangeable, rather than the minuscule differences in the measurements). These differences include a larger magazine release, a different selector switch, relocated take-down lever, a folding charging handle, "sand cuts" on the bolt, skeletonized front sight wings and a larger flash hider, along with different furniture depending on the time period and country.

In Commonwealth service the SLR was often seen fitted with its distinctive SUIT (Sight Unit Infantry Trilux) tritium-illuminated 4x telescopic sight. SUITs owned by private collectors usually do not illuminate, since the tritium sources degrade after 8-12 years, and are often missing the cover for the tritium source as well.

The '''Ishapore 1A1 SLR''' is the domestically produced Indian variant of the FAL rifle. It is not however a licensed copy, but is instead reverse engineered from the commonwealth inch pattern rifles. However, the Indian designers of the weapon made alterations to the design resulting in a mix between a metric and inch pattern rifle without the parts compatibility of other FAL variants and copies.

The ''IMBEL IA2'' is an updated version of the Imbel MD-97 with new polymer furniture.  
+
The '''IMBEL IA2''' weapon system is an updated version of both the 5.56 MD-97 and 7.62 NATO M964 A1 MD-1 ParaFAL with new polymer furniture. Development primarily focused on the 5.56 version, though a 7.62 version was also developed in parallel. The 5.56mm IA2 has been adopted by the Brazilian Armed Forces as their new standard rifle.
  
[[File:Imbel-IA2-556.jpg‎|thumb|right|500px|Imbel IA2 Rifle with magazine removed - 5.56x45mm]]
+
The two current variants of the 5.56mm IA2 are the carbine version (Ca 5,56 IMBEL IA2) and the assault rifle version (Fz Ass 5,56 IMBEL IA2); both have the same barrel length, and differ only in that the carbine version is semi-auto only while the assault rifle version has full-auto fire. The two current variants of the 7.62mm IA2 are a long-barrel select-fire rifle (Fz Ass 7,62 IMBEL IA2) and a short-barrel, semi-auto carbine (Ca 7,62 IMBEL IA2).

A whole host of fictional photoshopped IMBEL IA2 prototype variants have circulated online, and some of them have even been modeled into video games under the mistaken assumption that they were legitimate variants. These green-tinted photographs are in fact made by the Small Arms Illustrated project, and do not exist in reality.

FN Universal Carbine - 7.92x33mm Kurz
FN Automatic Carbine - .280 British

The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger) was designed by Dieudonné Saive and Ernest Vervier from 1947 to 1951. It is also called the FN LAR (Light Automatic Rifle), the English translation of its Belgian French name. The fact that there are so many variants, made by different countries and different names for the same models, causes a lot of confusion regarding what particular FAL is in what movie. For the most part, only the major variants of the gun will have been seen in movies with wide distribution, (the original Belgian version, U.S. versions, the Israeli versions and British/Commonwealth version). The early FAL prototypes were chambered in intermediate cartridges like 7.92x33mm and .280 British, in an attempt to create an assault rifle along the lines of the German Sturmgewehr 44, but after 7.62x51mm NATO was adopted as the standard NATO rifle cartridge, the FAL design was altered to accommodate the more powerful round.

Specifications

(1953 - Present)

Type: Battle Rifle, Assault Rifle

Caliber: 7.92x33mm (prototype), .280 British (prototype), 7.62x51mm NATO, 5.56x45mm NATO (Argentine FALMP III and Brazilian IMBEL variants)

Capacity: 20, 30-round box magazine. (Argentine FALMP III Type 2 variant uses Steyr AUG magazines, Brazilian IMBEL variants use STANAG Magazines)

Fire Modes: Safe/Semi-Auto/Full-Auto; Safe/Semi-Auto on inch-pattern FALs.


The FN FAL and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

FN FAL

FN FAL, older variant with humped stock and ramp rear sight - 7.62x51mm
FN FAL with G1/StG 58 forend and long flash hider - 7.62x51mm NATO. Note the folded bipod.
FN FAL with G1/StG 58 forend, long flash hider, and wooden buttstock - 7.62x51mm NATO. Note the folded bipod.
FN FAL 50.00 - 7.62x51mm NATO
Argentine DGFM FMAP FAL - 7.62x51mm NATO
FN FAL 50.61 - 7.62x51mm NATO
FN FAL 50.63 - 7.62x51mm NATO
FN FAL "G Series" - 7.62x51mm NATO
StG 58 - 7.62x51mm NATO

Variants of the standard FN FAL:

  • 50.00: Standard version. Licensed clones of the 50.00 are made by IMBEL of Brazil as the IMBEL LAR, and by DGFM of Argentina as the FALM IV (Fusil Automatico Liviano Modelo IV).
  • 50.61: Paratrooper version with folding stock and standard 533 mm (21.0 in) barrel.
  • 50.62: Paratrooper version with folding stock, short 458 mm (18.03 inch) barrel, and folding charging handle.
  • 50.63: Paratrooper version with folding stock, shorter 436 mm (17.16 in) barrel, and folding charging handle.
  • 50.64: Paratrooper version with folding stock, standard 533 mm (21.0 in) barrel, hiduminium alloy lower receiver, and folding charging handle similar to the L1A1.
  • G Series: A series of 1,836 semi-automatic FAL rifles imported into the United States by Browning Arms Company from FN between 1959 and 1963. They had a selector that could not be moved to the fully automatic position, and did not have the automatic sear. Changes with ATF standards meant that these import FAL rifles, previously considered to be not machine guns, are now machine guns and will be subject to the NFA. The rifles already imported into United States remain legal and are exempt from the NFA. G-series rifles are identical to early FN production guns and are not modified for importation.
  • StG 58: The Sturmgewehr 58 is the former standard infantry rifle of the Austrian Armed Forces. The StG 58 featured a unique hybrid flash hider/grenade launcher muzzle device, and also featured a bipod and a ribbed metal handguard.
  • G1: The G1 is a variant adopted for a relatively short period by West Germany. It features a bipod and ribbed metal handguard like the StG 58, but has its own muzzle device.
  • T48: A version of the FN FAL trialed by the United States in the mid-1950s, but was not adopted; the M14 was adopted over the T48.

Note that FN LAR is simply a foreign English market name for the FN FAL. There is no actual difference between the FN LAR and FN FAL.

L1A1

L1A1 SLR, original model - 7.62x51mm NATO. Early version of the L1A1 had wood stocks, handguard and pistol grips, along with a cylindrical wood carry handle.
L1A1 SLR - 7.62x51mm NATO. This is the later, typical version of the L1A1 which used black fiberglass furniture.
L1A1 SLR fitted with L2A2 SUIT 4x scope - 7.62x51mm NATO
L1A1 SLR with IWS night vision sight - 7.62x51mm NATO
L1A1 SLR with wood furniture - 7.62x51mm NATO. Although this model features wood furniture, it has the contoured black fiberglass carry handle which identifies this as a later model L1A1 which has been fitted with after-market furniture.
Australian L1A1 - 7.62x51mm NATO. The Australian version of the L1A1 features unique laminated wood handguards which have a round profile and 3 small circular vent holes.
Canadian C1A1 - 7.62x51mm NATO. The Canadian C1A1 is quite different from other Commonwealth L1A1s, having different sights and a wood handguard without any vent holes. It is also unique among all FAL variants in that the front of the top cover is open and it has an integrated guide allowing the magazine to be refilled from stripper clips whilst it is attached to the gun.

The L1A1, also commonly referred to as the SLR (Self Loading Rifle) is the British version of the FN FAL which also saw extensive service with other Commonwealth countries. They are commonly referred to as "inch pattern" rifles (as opposed to the FN FAL which is "metric pattern") due to the rifle being designed and tooled to imperial measurements, but they also feature a number of design changes and improvements (it is these changes in the pattern which make inch and metric parts generally non interchangeable, rather than the minuscule differences in the measurements). These differences include a larger magazine release, a different selector switch, relocated take-down lever, a folding charging handle, "sand cuts" on the bolt, skeletonized front sight wings and a larger flash hider, along with different furniture depending on the time period and country.

In Commonwealth service the SLR was often seen fitted with its distinctive SUIT (Sight Unit Infantry Trilux) tritium-illuminated 4x telescopic sight. SUITs owned by private collectors usually do not illuminate, since the tritium sources degrade after 8-12 years, and are often missing the cover for the tritium source as well.

However, the Indian designers of the weapon made alterations to the design resulting in a mix between a metric and inch pattern rifle without the parts compatibility of other FAL variants and copies.

It was later upgraded with light-weight aluminum parts instead of the traditional sheet steel which includes the receiver parts, the quad-rail foregrip, and a reinforced railed top-cover. It is available as either a parts kit or as a completely new weapon. The ParaFAL is currently used by many Brazilian police and military units.

IMBEL IA2 - 7.62x51mm

The IMBEL IA2 weapon system is an updated version of both the 5.56 MD-97 and 7.62 NATO M964 A1 MD-1 ParaFAL with new polymer furniture. Development primarily focused on the 5.56 version, though a 7.62 version was also developed in parallel. The 5.56mm IA2 has been adopted by the Brazilian Armed Forces as their new standard rifle.

The two current variants of the 5.56mm IA2 are the carbine version (Ca 5,56 IMBEL IA2) and the assault rifle version (Fz Ass 5,56 IMBEL IA2); both have the same barrel length, and differ only in that the carbine version is semi-auto only while the assault rifle version has full-auto fire. The two current variants of the 7.62mm IA2 are a long-barrel select-fire rifle (Fz Ass 7,62 IMBEL IA2) and a short-barrel, semi-auto carbine (Ca 7,62 IMBEL IA2).

A whole host of fictional photoshopped IMBEL IA2 prototype variants have circulated online, and some of them have even been modeled into video games under the mistaken assumption that they were legitimate variants. These green-tinted photographs are in fact made by the Small Arms Illustrated project, and do not exist in reality.
