How do you pronounce CETME?

VEPR?

Also is it proper to say FAL like Fal? as in Al Bundy?

just curious. Dont wanna sound dumb in the gun stores.

I don't want to turn this into 9mm vs. .45acp, but I had heard:

Veeeper (rhymes with beeper)

and

Fahl. (rhymes with all)

But I hang around with a bunch of hicks, so I could be wrong.

We agree on Set Me.

I do. It works great.

"set-me" = CETME. That's the only way I've heard it.

all I know is that I type CETME, but when I say it, it comes out:

Centro de Estudios Tecnicos de Materials Especiales

:D

FAL comes out: Fusil Automatique Leger

I cant even spell vepper ;)

I've only heard VEPR pronounced 'vepper' like 'pepper'.
