[QUOTE="Singed, post: 605445, member: 6261"] The extent of my arms qualification was the FN C1A1, the Canadian version of the FN FAL (Fabrique Nationale, fusil automatique leger, Belgium). It was a powerful and accurate rifle, but considered heavy. It was also the rifle of choice for NATO forces and often referred to as "the right arm of the free world." The RCMP also used them in tactical situations. It was readily converted to use as a sniper rifle, holding several distance records, and to an automatic weapon. As the C2A1 automatic rifle it was regularly mounted as an anti-vehicular weapon and used on bipods as a squad assault rifle. It was phased out in 1988-90 in favour of the C-7 which was four pounds lighter with a loaded magazine. The FN C1A1 was slightly over 11 pounds with a 20 round magazine, 7.62 x 51mm. I wish I owned one...truthfully the only arm I've ever wanted to own. With the exception of a Taurus Judge, .410, but they're prohibited here. As is the C1A1, they were all decomissioned by DND.
