Please forgive me if this topic has already been beat to death. I searched, but couldn't find anything, so just point me to the old threads and I'll be on my way.
(Deep breathe...)
Okay, hopefully without starting a religious war... why does everyone think that the FN-FAL runs circles around the HK G3? I see it in every battle rifle comparison article and I'm completely baffled. I've fired both rifles on plenty of occasions and (IMNSHO) the FAL stinks. OTOH, I own a G3 and I love it. I believe that the G3 beats the FAL in accuracy, ergonomics, and recoil management. The only thing that the FAL does better is not damage the brass it ejects. (Brass ejected from a G3 is unusable.) However, considering that both rifles were designed for combat, I don't see soldiers policing up their brass and reloading it.
Anyway, I just read my latest battle rifle review article online, extolling the virtues of the FAL and bashing the G3 in all respects. What give?
