| − | ==Basic information==
| |
| − | This weapon is inferior to the [[XL70E3]] in most regards. However, the upgraded version -- the [[FN FAL HPFA]] -- is a burst powerhouse that uses cheap and effective [[7.62mm|7.62mm NATO]] ammunition. Aside from that, this can be a good weapon to craft if you don't want to foot the bill for the XL70's parts and ammunition, but you still need a solid burst weapon.

| − | ==Background==
| |
| − | The Belgian ''Fusil Automatique Leger'', (light automatic rifle) designed by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, is a venerable and time-tested weapon -- the NATO-equivalent of the similarly venerable AK-47. Both weapons became ubiquitous in their respective spheres of influence. As the Cold War carried on and intensified, the weapons were replaced by their primary users, but less-fortunate satellite nations from both sides of the conflict retained the weapons, and replaced FALs lined national armories. As such, the FAL has become a coveted favorite amongst the wastes of former nations that were enrolled in NATO.

| − | The weapon was designed when members of NATO agreed on standardization of weapons across nations so that they could better equip each other in the event of massive conventional warfare. The FAL was one of the candidates, with each nation judging it on merit individually. The Americans had their own M-14 ready at the time, and as such it was favored -- in no small part thanks to the M-14's basis on the M1 Garand, which was seen by the Americans as the best rifle in the world after WWII. However, most other nations found the FAL more than adequate in its performance and did not hesitate to adopt it. Despite American exceptionalism, the standardization initiative did achieve a significant victory in the uniform battle rifle round: the 7.62mm NATO round, which supplied both the M-14 and the FAL.

| − | Curiously, the Americans had always preferred to use their own high quality weapons manufactured by Colt, but the post-war arms trade has seen a very large amount of these introduced to the California wasteland and its surrounding area. Perhaps its dated, yet simple and effective design lend itself much better to wasteland use, trade, and manufacture than the more sophisticated weapons used in the Resource Wars.
