The only real Army that used the FAL in batle IIRC were the Brits up to the Falklands War and thereafter, and the Rhodesian anti terr fighters.

I'm well aware of the 90 Armies figure and thats is fine, thats a tribute more to FNs marketing than weapon superiority.

And you're right I dont consider the use of the FAL by the..oh say how about the Storm Mechanized Troop Army of the Sanjak of Novi Pazar to be a real world endorsement, especially where their mechanization is a donkey

But hey, I do have Blake Steven's book somewhere
