re: The FAL is not really an assault rifle.
The rifle in the picture certainly is not an assault rifle. And yet the two folks carrying them seemed to be in a close quarters assault situation.
I agree Lee and RobVG that the mommy of the weapon is the FAL. I'd guess it's an INSAS knockoff and the Mombai guy is carrying an LMG model. That's a helluva barrel to be dragging round.
Interesting. I certainly appreciate everyone's contribution.
