I'm sorry. I mean non-fluted chamber, as opposed to the G3, which does have a fluted chamber, thereby screwing up the brass for reloading.
G3A3
Country of Origin: Germany
Manufacturer: Heckler & Koch
Caliber: .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO
Feed: 20 round box-type magazine
Modes of Fire: semi-automatic and continous fire
Cyclic Rate: 600 rounds per minute
Mechanism: delayed recoil roller block locking system with fluted chamber
That said, the FAL beats up brass too and can mangle it completely if the gas setting is set wrong. It's predecessor, the FN49, leaves very large dents in the brass even with the gas all the way open because the brass strikes a ridge in the receiver on the way out.
