RE: Feeling unprepped and inadequate
awwww! the old fal slr it was the back bone of NATO only the Americans didn't use it in one shape or another !! they had to have an American weapon the m14 ! as for 5.56x45 mm (.223) not much better than a .22lr total crap were as the 7.62x51mm has 4 times the kinetic energy and can drop a target at 800m with ease , hated giving up my l1a1 and used it as long as i could , hated the individual weapon from day one , even after it was fixed and became the sa80 or the l85 if you tried firing it left handed you got a face full of brass !! ended up using the c7a2 right up till i left the army but was a comprise more ammo over stopping power , the yanks love more ammo its the way they are trained spray and pray ! were as we train to hit the target first time , the fn scar -h ( new fal) is looking like a great weapon and could mean that nato goes back to the future , tho it is looking at the 6.8x43mm as a comprise more stopping power than the 5.56 and lighter than the 7.62 so more ammo can be carried
