In the movie "Heat," Al Pacino's character uses a FN-FNC-80 that has the barrel shortened to "Para" length. I don't know what that means.
I'd like to know if the 223 Sporter can legally be shortened like the one in the movie, and if it can safely shoot 5.56 military ammo. The movie gun also has a M-16-style birdcage flash suppressor.
In the 1980s I used a FN FAL in what is still my favourite rifle calibur, the 7.62 NATO. Loved it. I gather the "223 Sporter" is available only in 223 and, I would hope, 5.56. Will it handle 5.56? Quick internet searches don't answer the question.
Asking prices for the 223 Sporter are, uhm, sporty. Any help, here?
