Zig Forums Which rifle triggers liberals more the AR-15 or the FN FAL?

Yeah I realized that after posting. I meant the MD-2, which has been around since the 80's, coming from the earlier M964. A myriad of variants and upgrades for the same exact model gets jumbled up sometimes. While our new IA2s are based on the FAL, they're designed for 5.56 first and foremost to meet the STANAG standard, with later full cartridge versions.
It's just that we dropped the battle rifle version specifically to adopt intermediate rifle models with a tight budget for arms development to save development time and money. There's a reason why we made the 5.56 models, and that is that the FAL was becoming insufficient even for nations without declared enemies.

Fair enough. It's not like the UK did well by abandoning the FAL design.

SA80 was an unfortunate girl, but at least it got fixed with the A2.
How's that new variant coming along?
Joshua Young
Less worse anyway.
Afraid I don't know enough to comment. We don't have the arms industry left to build anything anyway.

It's just the same thing but lighter and with standard pick-yer-tinny comparability really.

In either case, they had limited industrial capacity, laregly thanks to Britain's extremely backwards view of even the White colonies, hating the idea of them industrializing and being self-supporting in manufactured goods.
Rhodesia especially had it bad, since it was literally just some guys with farms and nothing else. Like, what was it, under a 250,000 whites in Rhodesia in 1970. They had fucking zero industry. They couldn't even build decent submachine guns of the quality that WW2 Leningrad built.
As far as South Africa went, they had industry, but like everyone else on the planet, felt absolutely zero shame in straight copying technology when they could. So they licensed a Galil copy from Israel and produced it at whatever number they felt like.

The AR-15 simply because of name recognition. Even if they were to realize that there are far stronger weapons out there, they'd still point to it and go
