So on NPR today they were talking about the Rodney King trial and the LA riots.

This made me think, should I own an AR-15 or an FAL in case of rodney king riots in my area?

FAL or AK. Also hook up with your local Korean grocer for fun times to be had.

I used to listen it to everyday in highschool and my first year of college. I quit listening after i heard the words "He used a High power assault rifle called a AR15" I busted out laughing.

Now i listen to podcast, although i do miss

As for your AR15 or FAL. Go ar15, you dont need .308 to punch 10inches of bone and meat and its easier to keep the sights on target for multiple rounds. Also why would you ever put your life on a FAL when there are AR10s.

AR15 is by far more versatile (and accurate).

Maybe he wants to not shoot 12 MOA

Lmao. Fucking delusional fags. FAL's are miles ahead AR10's in terms of reliability and robustness. I'd sacrifice going from a "sub-moa" gun to a 2-3 moa gun any day of the week. It's not a fucking DMR, it's a battle rifle.

Ebin reply with a well thought out and sourced argument. Personally I'd go with a G3 clone of some kind, probably a PTR-91 at this point. If you think you're going to be hiding out in a perch 600 yards away picking off people then you're a fucking moron.

I own a PTR and would take an AR-10
lighter, better ergos, just as reliable, ect
>>
>>33794350
Doesn't it bother you that Kel Tec of all companies took the FAL action and accurized it to a 1.5moa gun in their RFB? Are the Swedes just inherently better designers than Belgians?
>>
>>33794411
I'm just referring to common knowledge, fag.
>>33794422
>he thinks a DI guns in .308/7.62 NATO will be reliable through thousands of rounds
the FAL and G3 have both been used the world over in military conflicts, the AR10 is a range toy. There's a reason no one ever adopted one as a mainline service rifle. I wouldn't mind an SR-25 or something for it's role but your run of the mill commercial AR10 is shit.
>>
>>33794433
It's almost like the accuracy problems with the FAL have nothing to do with the action and everything to do with the receiver design and the fact that it's a military rifle with a bunch of shit on the barrel
>>
>>33794463
Well I'm referring to common knowledge when I say ar10a are objectively better
>>
>>33794378
whats the point of a select fire .308 rifle that kinda fucking sucks when it comes to accuracy.
>you cant control it full auto
>you cant hold it on target in semi-auto
>its not that accurate
>its not that reliable when it comes to debris
>its designed to wear itself out over time
>it was design for mass production not long and consistent use like the AR or AK platforms
>you have full powered .308 but you cant take advantage its accuracy potential.
>it cost as much as much or than AR10 or Veper but theyre build quality is suspect.

The AR10 is far better.
>>
>>33794479
There is no "objectively better". The FAL and G3 are both far superior battle rifles than an AR10.

>>33794463
>he thinks a DI guns in .308/7.62 NATO will be reliable through thousands of rounds
They will, just a fact. As long as you clean your rifle most guns will last that long. Except G3/FAL you literally have to replace parts to keep the guns shooting.

AR10 is just a fucking AR15 in .308(i know its a bit more complicated but every benifit the AR15 has the AR10 has).

>AR10 was never adopted
Burma
Canada - Ontario Provincial Police
Cuba
Finland
Guatemala
Italy
Nicaragua[
Portugal
Romania
Sudan - Purchased 2500 rifles from the A.I. factory, delivery October 1958
West Germany - Purchased 135 rifles from the A.I. factory, delivery August 1958

The US army is in talks to replace the M14 with the AR10.

The reason the AR10 wasnt adopted is because every country was moving over into intermediate calibers.
OH GUESS THE FUCK WHAT THEY CAME OUT WITH A FUCKING AR10 IN THE AN INTERMEDIATE CALIBER ITS CALLED THE ARFUCKING15.

The FAL/G3 was outdated when it was adopted, the fucking russians were ahead of you western european twats.

compared to AR15 (they don't have an AR10 video, but AR15s are just smaller AR10s):

I'd go for an FAL so I can pretend I'm slottin floppies in the bush, but also because theyre around the same price as an AR-10. A DSA Voyager with stock iron sights is around $1200, and so is a good AR-10 with optics, unless you build it yourself. The FAL feels nicer to me personally, is easier to operate, and is about as lightweight as an AR-10. Then again I just really dislike the AR's charging handle.

Personally, I'd reccomend you carry a shotgun as well or some type of 5.56 bullpup or shorter PCC as a backup rifle in case rioters break into your building and your FAL would give you trouble indoors (long barrel and overpenetration)

No. The last thing we need is more assault rifles floating around. All you need is a shotgun. Just the pump will stop criminals dead in their tracks.

Tell yourself that, sure.

>>33794463
>>he thinks a DI guns in .308/7.62 NATO will be reliable through thousands of rounds
Yes, actually, the expanding gas action of the AR (not DI), is extremely reliable and can fire thousands and thousands of rounds without cleaning and be fine.

>>33794471
>It's almost like the accuracy problems with the FAL have nothing to do with the action and everything to do with the receiver design
Yes and no, the receiver is a shit design, but the FAL has a tilting bolt, and tilting bolts will simply just have mediocre consistency in lockup compared to rotating bolt.

It's inevitable that a rifle is going to get dirty, the question is how easy is it to clear the rifle and clean it out? The FAL and AK have that over the AR-15 by a mile.

You get the 20" barrel with an A1 as well, on top of the rifle being lighter.

>>33794533
Nah, Romania never adopted it - it just got a few dozens of them in the 90's for free, that's all, they never saw any use whatsoever apart some fancy guard and official duty for a few years in place of the usual SKS's - which are now back in use.
>>
>>33794350
>FAL's are miles ahead AR10's in terms of reliability and robustness

You're full of shit. Israel dropped the FAL after the Yom Kippur war because it performed like shit, they adopted AR pattern rifles and have been using them for close to four decades since then. The Tavor is nowhere near close to actually replacing them and won't be for the foreseeable future.
My L1A1 doesn't even need desert sand to FTF every now and then, and before you start with the damage control, no, it's not an American franken build but a legit Enfield built SLR, I'm using good quality German 7.62x51 in it and I went through the proper gas setup process as per its service manual.

>>33793947

Just get both, and an AK to boot. Because why the fuck not?
Like the Czechs say, "it's not like you have to keep them all fed."

The fucking irony of that shirt gets me every time.

Anyway get yourself an AR for urban combat. It's more versitile and most importantly ammo is cheaper and more common. That is the most important thing. Having enough ammo

It's going to be a crazy summer I can just feel it.

They replaced them with the AR platform because they got them for free and they are literally kikes.
>>
>>33801610
They were free, yes, but they're objectively better than both the FAL and the Tavor, both which have mediocre accuracy and actions too open to the elements.
