If AKM completely plagiarized Kalashnikov's idea, then FAL is openly stealing the future design of the chief designer of FN in front of him.

There is a saying that if AK47 is the "king of rifles" in the socialist camp, then the FAL can be described as "famous" in the capitalist camp. Among the assault rifles that use 7.62×51mm NATO rounds, there are two guns that have been copied by many countries around the world, one is the G3 assault rifle and the other is the FAL.

The FAL automatic rifle is well-crafted, reliable, easy to disassemble, the butt is close to the axis of the barrel, which effectively suppresses muzzle bouncing and has good single-shot accuracy. However, there is a small flaw, the FAL automatic rifle has similar ammunition power to the M14 automatic rifle equipped by the United States, and the recoil ambassador is difficult to control when firing in bursts, and the dispersion area is large, so the Commonwealth national standard FAL simply cancels the burst fire mode, and can only shoot single-shot, and is used as a semi-automatic rifle.

Of course, this group of British-stirring sticks in the 1982 Falklands War was damaged by the Argentine army because of the semi-automatic FAL rifle, the British army and the Argentine army both used their own imitation of the FAL assault rifle, but the Argentine army's imitation FNFAL did not cancel the fast and slow machine, and can still choose automatic fire, while the imitation FNFAL used by the British army canceled the fast and slow machine, and can only shoot semi-automatic, so it appeared, The British soldiers preferred to use the captured replica of the Argentine army than the British-made imitation FAL. It can be seen that although FNFAL automatic fire reduces the shooting accuracy, for soldiers who go to the battlefield, the light weapon in their hands can automatically fire is the greatest damage to the enemy.

FAL has been adopted by the armies of more than 90 countries and regions, including Commonwealth countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, as well as Belgium, West Germany, Austria, Israel, India, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and other countries are equipped with the FAL automatic rifle series. FN was still in production until the 1980s. The FAL automatic rifle became one of the most widely armed military rifles in the country. The exact production of FAL cannot be accurately calculated, but it is estimated to reach 4 million units. In addition, in the 1960s and 1970s, the FAL automatic rifle was one of the favorite weapons used by Western mercenaries, so it was praised by mercenary magazines in the United States as "one of the greatest mercenary weapons of the twentieth century".

If this rifle, which has the same broad market prospects as the AK rifle, is not manufactured, Albert is simply sorry for his identity as a traverser. However, FAL is ultimately a product of FN anyway, and it doesn't matter so much whether the designer is Albert or Seifer.

It seems that Seifer in front of him is obviously more interested in this firearm, yes, after all, Seifer's design of the FAL in history has been largely inherited from the FN49 semi-automatic rifle that he is now improving.

"With all due respect, Lord Albert, why did you choose to use a 7.62×51mm rifle cartridge?" After all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Seifer immediately pointed out the shortcomings of this firearm, "This bullet is much more powerful than the Soviet Union's M43 rifle bullet, and if it is fired continuously, it will cause the scatter to be too large and the accuracy will decrease, since you have explained that the development of firearms in the future will be the trend of intermediate power bullets, but why does your firearm still choose a full-power bullet that is not an intermediate power bullet?" ”

Albert muttered to me, can I stop the stubborn Yankees who insist on using the 7.62×51mm rifle cartridge as the general purpose rifle cartridge of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization? As for the 5.56×45mm NATO bullet developed in the late fifties, Albert said to hell, there are still decades before this caliber is officially put into service, at least from now to the next ten years, the 7.62×51mm T45 rifle cartridge will still occupy the mainstream market, and Lao Tzu is not a fool who has money and does not make money.

However, Albert was inconvenient to tell Severmin that Lao Tzu had the ability to predict the future, so he had to lure this lovely old man from somewhere else, "Your Excellency Severs should know that guns are weapons in the service of war, and war is a weapon in the service of politics, right?" ”

Seifer nodded, affirming Albert's claim.

"Then I think that the next Confederates will fall apart with the end of World War II, and the Yalta Conference has already been held in February of this year. And the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union began to show signs of separation, after all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Let me tell you how the situation in Europe will go in the future, and at least next year, the British government will take the lead in tearing up the skin with the Soviet Union, and then create a situation in which the world is opposed to the capitalist camp. At this time, Europe had just experienced the baptism of the Great War, and its vitality was greatly damaged. It may not be able to resist the erosion of the forces of the red camp at all. The United States, which made a lot of war money in World War II, will step up its economic and military aid to Europe and establish a European-integrated military organization to resist the socialist camp led by Russia. ”

Albert's words are well documented, and Churchill's Iron Curtain speech in March 1946 marked the beginning of the Cold War. The Marshall Economic Aid Program began in July 1947. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was established in August 1949. Belgium was also one of the founding countries at that time, and if there were no accidents, Belgium of the world would also join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at that time.

"To put it mildly, the old powers of Europe are no longer in their prime, and the new countries on the other side of the Atlantic will lead the way. At that time, the military organization of European integration will definitely require the use of the same caliber bullets between the member states, so the 7.62×51mm rifle cartridge that the Yankees have greatly anticipated at present will obviously win the competition. ”

The whole room was quiet and the pins were dropping, because the reasons Albert said were too sensational, the European military organization? Defend against Soviet troops? Although Britain came close to falling out with the Soviet Union over the Balkan Peninsula in Greece, it seems unlikely that there would be full-scale hostility.

But in the future, the fact is such a ruthless slap in the face, the British firmly believe that .280 is the best caliber, and the rest of the countries are looking at the United States only to look at the horse, angry Britain threw down the sentence "You love to play Lao Tzu don't care", insisted on the maverick use of .280 rifle cartridges, Seifer had to design a special .280 caliber FAL for the British. But in the end, the British were forced to accept the Americans' calibre.

Albert continued to put pressure on the hesitant group of designers, "Of course, if your company doesn't want to accept my design, I don't care about opening my own company to produce these two firearms. I have already identified the prospects of these two types of firearms, and it is up to everyone here to decide whether they need them or not. ”

Ernest Adam's apple rolled, he had just exchanged opinions with Seifer privately, although the prospects of these two guns were good, but the FN company, which had always been cautious, could not run the train with a mouth full of promises to come down for mass production, and finally he decided to see how the trial gun was, and then make plans.

Ernest and Seifer looked at each other, and after the two of them agreed, Seifer asked, "Then at what price will Lord Albert sell the blueprints of these two guns?" ”

"For sale?" Albert shook his head, "I think Your Excellency is mistaken. I'm not trying to sell the blueprints, I'm going to take a stake in FN with a patent. ”

"Stake?" Seifer was slightly stunned.

"Yes, when this firearm successfully passes the test, I will get ten percent of the profit from every AKM or FAL rifle you make, how about it?" Like a cunning nobleman, Albert set up a trap and waited for his prey to take the bait.

"No problem." Seifer immediately agreed, anyway, he only needs to pay after passing the test and official production, for this kind of good thing that does not require his own company to pay for it, Seifer has always been a comer, anyway, the money that Albert can get for these two guns is linked to the order, no matter how you look at FN company, there is no loss.

However, if Seifer knows about the sales of these two guns around the world in the future, he will probably regret making this hasty decision today. Albert thought in his heart with a wicked taste.
