Nice, a Cuban FAL! They're not well-known, let alone common. Some people even find it hard to believe that Cuba used FAL rifles. They were made for and delivered to Fulgencio Batista's government before Castro took over.

Cuban was in the process of buying new weapons for its Army right before Castro won the war. In fact there are super rare Cuban AR10s out there, they have a green stock. I never heard of a Cuban FN FAL but it makes sense there would be a competition and many companies would submit rifles to the pre Castro Cuban army.
I have family members that used the Fn Fal. Some preferred it to the AKM. Most of the cuban Fn Fals were sent to nicaragua, Colombia and Venezuela. Also, i remember that cuban police order B.A.R for the national police in the capital.
In Argentina these ones were called " F.A.P" ( Fusil Automático Pesado) . They where used as a light machine gun, that's the reason for the heavy barrel
It's a repurposed "FALo" (FA "Lourd") which means "heavy" It's even a T48E1 (which is a US contract FALo) T48E1 failed trials against T44 and since the contract was done with Battista anyway, FNH delivered them anyway to Cuba !
Not really, the T48 beat the T44 hands down, even when the testing was biased against the T48. But Springfield et al, lied through their teeth on the economics of using existing tooling (wasn't so!) and so the T48 went to 90 other countries and is still in service today.. The T44 was never purchased by any other country and only in standard US service for 7 years. Because it just wasn't that good. Politics and corruption.
In Canada a lifetime ago we had the C1A1 - which was a non-select fire FAL. The C1-D was a select fire version for navy. C2 was land forces select fire and used as a magazine fed light machine gun... Maybe rather than scented candle how about cologne? Perhaps Dr. Squatch can make you some cold pressed soaps thus scented? Frebreeze spray? Oooh... the options are unlimited!
As a Cuban it's awesome to see this! My dad used this when he force served in the army. I left before the age where they would have forced me to join. Awesome video!
I am from Russia but I love Cuban food and culture, it is like if our culture was from a beautiful tropical island very strong and amazing people of Cuba thanks to your father for being a soldier this is a great honor where I am from but I still respect for you not wanting to join because of our current world
A million times yes on the candle bit. If Bed, Bath, and Beyond or Yankee Candle started carrying cordite or burning gun oil candles, you'd catch me in there more than my local gun shop.
Cuba sold/ gave most of their FALs and to remove the crest, cut a hole where the crest was, these FALs are currently identified as Cuban anonymized FALs, the hole was as distinct and unusual as the crest was.
Hell yeah, loved this video!! 😍 Good job guys, it's always a pleasure to se a full-auto gun in action ;) I love all type of FAL and this one looks pretty weird but runs damn good! 🤩😎
This man said,” its cuban due to the cut out for the cigars” OMG that was hilarious I was in my office laughing hysterically😂. And everyone was looking at me like “da fuq?”
These FALs were used in the early 60s until the introduction of the soviet AKM. I can't remember, but I think they we're cut out of service because of the sabotage of La Coubre, a ship that was carrying ammo from Belgium for the Cuban army. There is a tv show called Lucha Contra Bandidos that describes the period of fighting in the mountains against groups that rebelled against the Cuban regime from 1960 to 1965. You will see the revolutionary communist militias using FALs and their classic sky blue shirts.
I remember seeing one in Panama that was in a storage warehouse in 1990. The Cuban crest was grounded out and painted black over it. It was in horrible shape and rusted bad.
JUST ANOTHER FAL I WANT FIR MY COLLECTION!!!! For the candle, C4 that just popped, the s.ell you described is FANTASTIC!!! Then again I just leave a bottle of HOPPE'S #9 OPEN AND ENJOY THAT ORIGINAL SCENT, NOT THE NEW STUFF, YOU KNOW THE ONE THE BANNED IN THE EARLY 90s THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!!!!!
In reality, this is a FN FALO (stands for FAL Lourde, Heavy FAL in French) used in those years as battle rifle and light support weapon (such as in the Canadian C2 variant of the L1A1 SLR).
Do a Venezuelan FAL next. It was it's main service rifle for a long time before the AK-103 replaced it. But they're still around, especially the shorter side folder model
Heh, here's your 762nd like! That's an interesting FAL for sure, the handguard shape actually makes more sense for full auto shooting the way it's contoured. I also don't think I've ever seen someone shoot an FAL using the carry handle, that was really something!
It looks way more controllable in full send mode than an M-14. We (the US) really fudged up on that deal. And yes I listened to the video that it’s a heavy barrel FAL, but still it’s the better rifle of the two.
Actual US for a time did not allow batista to buy weapons from the United States. Cuba had to buy from countries like Dominican republic. That is why you will see Cuban forces using also the dominican sub machine gun san cristobal.
@@jaberie308 If you didn't admit to having assembled it, could anyone prove beyond reasonable doubt you had? I'm not usually one of those commenters calling people out for "complying", especially since RUclips is known to be monitored by BATFE, but swapping parts just so you can legally admit to assembling a rifle, in compliance with a statue that couldn't possibly hold up to a Constitutional challenge after NYSRPA v. Bruen, seems beyond pointless.
Cuban FAL's are known for their distinctive aromas & really, that's all anybody cares about; but let's not ignore texture. What is a fragrant firearm if it's polymerization makes it look like a stormtrooper's rifle? [Star Wars, not 3d Reich] Texture matters when wood, steel & brass combine to produce a symphony. Without texture, it's just music baby.
That was used on the Bay of Pigs fightings. After that, they change to the Soviet standard: AK rifles and so. It was quite interesting to watch this. Thanks.
The FN FAL rifle was indeed suplied to Castro. There was even a freighter full of amunition and FAL rifles blown up in havana harbor in 1960. Negligence or covert CIA operation who knows??? The militias forces fighting the Bandits and those involved in bay of pig invasion used FAL but also PPsh and all sort of old WWII firearms. My old man used one on his militia days ,for what he used to say his whole company was deployed with FAL.
I actually had an idea to produce some gunpowder scented candles in the past - the hard part was replicating the smell of the gunpowder... so i experimented by putting actually gunpowder in candle wax... And that is how i invented the arson candles! :D
Dont have experience about how compination of old oily wood and gunpowder could smell together but judging how gunpowder and just oil smells and how campfire smells im pretty sure Ziga is not wrong in there. (I take two)
Doing a Cuban FALO repo right now. My other Cuban repos with all correct laser-engraving, are standard barrel. Oh, you have photo comments turned off. So sad. I have quite the library of Cuban FAL photos to share
Okay you had me at Cuban FAL but since I live in the USA I can’t own anything made in Cuba. It’s been dream of mine to smoke Cuban cigars and drink Cuban rum.

I passed compulsory military service in Cuba and I never saw a Fal or anything like that in my guard I used AKM and a Makarov pistol I also fired SVD Dragunov in the Cuban Army there are no western weapons
El FAL ya estaba en desuso al rededor de los 70. Pero anteriormente si lo uso las FAR y las MTT junto con el VZ-52 y las ametralladoras checas. El barco La Coubre, que explotó en La Habana, estaba cargado con Fales entre otros armamentos.
this fals were order by batista because the US had put a weapons embargo on cuban government because of the ongoing civil war and him being a dictator, the weapons were delivered shortly after castro had took power of the, the fals saw some years of service in the cuban army and in some conflicts in the country like the bay of pigs, but in the mid 60's they began to be replaced by soviet ak-47 and akm and the remaining cuban fals were sent by to algeria(a castro ally) for their war against morocco, and later in the 70's and 80's to some latin american communist guerrillas in nicaragua and el salvador.
I guess that the rifle is the FALO not a FAL ;3 But anyway, full auto 7,62 NATO... has a very strange effect on my body (especially on some lower parts). At least I can cuddle my FAL to release the tension ;3 And if that rifle is Cuban... Does it still apply to her that she is the right hand of the free world?
