So I heard good things about the FN FAL, but heard that the US military is adopting HK416's. Which one's better? And can any of them contend for best assault rifle?

>FAL
>HK416
those are not even remotely comparable
>>33877707
Well HK416s are modular and FAL isn't. They're both 5.56 though.
>>33877707
Specifically how are their stats, like accuracy at x meters, durability, firing rate, etc.
>>33877724
>FAL
>5.56
might wanna check wikipedia, pleb
>assault rifle
>FAL
stopped reading there. sage
>>33877783
Oh, sorry. They both were NATO and I guess I missed that FAL isn't 5.56.

Just, where are you from?
Where did you read all this shit from?
IS THIS BAIT?
>>33878004
California, that's why.
>>33877969
do want
the best assault rifle is either the AK-12 or FAMAS
>>33877915
this just means that you don't understan jackshit
>>33878048
>FAMAS
>>33878004
I also remember that the FAL went through many caliber changes in its development, so that's probably why I got confused.
>>33877969
My dick just erected to full potential
>tfw I'll be too poor to afford one anytime soon
>>33878068
>many caliber changes
You mean from .280 to 7.62x51mm?
That's surely A LOT of changes.
Also, as stated by wikipedia, the FAL started being produced in 1953
Now, we're in 2017
2017-1953=64 years
The FAL has been around for ~64 years only in 7.62x51mm and you still managed to fuck it up.
Congrats

FAL was adopted in 7.65 NATO and no other version ever went into mass production.
It was originally designed around .280 British but was changed due to American protests. If it were chambered in .280 British it would have been an assault rifle

>both 556

Broccoli or Orange? Which one's better? And can any of them contend for best vegetable?
