An FN FNC.
Why? I'll tell you why. It's been written in history that Dieudonne Saive started designing the FAL back in 1947. THIS IS A LIE.
What happened is the U.S. Government secured cloning technology out of Nazi Germany. It was going to be used by Hitler to clone himself (and their best soldiers). It worked, but there were complications of life-span with the rapid aging with the technology the Germans were using, so it was abandoned in favor of more direct projects to help the Nazi war effort. After the war came to a close, documents proving its existence were found in Berlin, and the technology was confiscated before the evil commies were able to get their grubby mitts on it.
Several years went by with some trials and success. Once the Western powers discovered the existence of the AK-47, they realized they needed something to combat against it. Something even better. But, for once actually, the communists actually did something well other than subjurgating peasants. Diudonne Saive tried multiple times, yet nothing was found to rival the AK-47.
It was at this time that the West got desperate. While going through German secret documents captured during the war, FN engineers found the details of the German cloning machine. They realized this would be their only hope... They decided to clone John Moses Browning.
American authorities were quickly dispatched to John Moses Browning's grave in Ogden, UT. His body was quickly exhumed in the middle of the night and replaced with a decoy body and coffin. His remaining family members were paid off and told it was for national security reasons. The truth never got out. His body was then flown to Belgium in secret, and there the Nazi cloning machine was utilized in making a clone of John Moses Browning.
They succeeded.
John Moses Prowning was then re-made. His advanced aging process gene made him age approximately one year per month. Soon, he was an adult and was trained in the history of his life, education, and surroundings. Soon, he was ready to help develop the new rifle for the West.
John Moses Browning (Junior, his colleagues called him), had a difficult time at first, but he naturally adapted and overcame. Through many prototypes, the FN FAL was born. It was obvious, instantly, that the West had prevailed.
As years went by, JMB Junior aged even more. Then, as he lay dying, FN came to him at his death bed and asked him if he had any last words of requests.
He said, “Make the FAL an assault rifle”. It was 1954. John Moses Browning Junior soon died after he said that, at the supposed age of 83. FN engineers didn't know what to do. But they set out to comply with JMB Junior's wishes. 12 years later, after much toil and effort, they did with the FN CAL – which later became perfected as the FN FNC.
And THAT my friends, is why I'd pick an FN FNC rifle...
In all seriousness though, they are fun little rifles.
