Usage & Tactics
Although expensive, this gun is considered one of the most powerful guns in-game, as it can easily down a player in 2 hits on the head. This weapon is much like the Deagle, except with a much higher fire rate despite the fact that it’s a semi-automatic firearm and more ammo in both reserve and magazine which is very more forgiving if you miss. Essentially, it can be seen as a much stronger version of the SKS, almost like an upgrade. Moreover, it boasts very high armor penetration. This makes it a formidable choice for players looking for superior firepower This weapon excels at virtually any range due to its decent mobility and range. However, it’s important to watch your ammunition, as it has fewer bullets than most rifles. Avoid using this weapon in close-quarters combat (CQC), as the results may not turn in your favor. It pairs best with a shotgun, submachine gun (SMG), or any high-rate-of-fire weapon for situations when targets get too close. Be prepared to become a target yourself, as this is one of the best guns in the game. Therefore, it’s advisable to stick with a teammate for support. The FN-FAL is arguably the most versatile rifle in the game, boasting high damage (capable of downing an unarmored player in 2-4 shots) and effective iron sights. It’s best utilized within structures like a Garage Hideout, where you can safely take down players from a distance. Be prepared to switch locations and potentially servers, as this weapon’s effectiveness may make you a target for many players.

Patch history
This weapon's appearance and name is inspired and based on its real-world counterpart, the FN-FAL. The first sneak peek of the FN-FAL was shown in the 21 August, and was leaked by FoxOfJuly. This is the first weapon to get nerfed by removal of the automatic firing mode. Technically speaking with it not having an automatic firing mode, it would make it the L1A1 rifle, a British licensed-manufactured version of the original Belgian FN FAL made for the British Army in the 60s to 80s. The key difference between the L1A1 and the FN FAL is that the L1A1 has only semi-automatic firing capabilities, while the FN FAL has automatic and semi-automatic. The Charging Handle is inside the gun when it shouldn't be. This is most likely a error with the animation rig, however the upgraded version doesn't have this error. Category:Guns
