Discount Brandon Herrera lol. JK but I thought you were him when I clicked on the video.I want an FAL so bad. I just love retro guns used in conflicts.They are so cool.
3:46 some better research should have been done. The French contract called for “at least 10rd magazine capacity” not 15 rounds. The 1922 was most certainly not the pistol the pistol that “fulfilled the French’s request”. The pistol that Browning and Saive worked on for this was the Browning Hi Power P35 which held 13rds in its standard capacity. But even then, Browning died prior to the completion of the pistol design and also the French chose not to adopt it. Also, the picture used for the 1922 is a picture of a 1910 over laying a 1922 which is weird given the subject. Video isn’t bad but better research is needed if you’re going to give a history lesson of the gun.
Yes I should have noticed that. What I was supposed to say was that “they intended to fulfill the request.” Indeed I didn’t mention the correct pistol. I’ve warned in the past I may overlook things and should be more careful on research. This video was mostly a focus of the development of the FAL which is what I did most of the research on, but I appreciate insightful feedback like this to clear things up, encourage it actually.
@ that’s fine. I wasn’t trying to be rude if it came off that way. I’m an internet full of incorrect “facts”, I think it’s important for little corrections as needed.
In Britain we had the L1A1 Semi Auto version, The Falls Rd Equaliser and one of the best semi auto's ever built.
Carried it for years in the Canadian Army, called the FNC1…..full auto version called the C2.
My weapon in military service in 93.😎😎
Shot the browning high power and the FAL (SLR type).

I'm pretty sure that the inch-pattern FAL was developed in Canada, and renamed for British (and Australian?) production...
Yes, Canada was and still is part of the British Commonwealth. Their FAL's were Inch Pattern C1A1's.
01:85 - were you shooting that thing from the thigh??...(on full auto?)...
Bump-firing, not full auto lol
PS - well done.
Noice…
