Col. Kurtz 0 Posted December 13, 2002 After a bit of searching (had to go to google, the Australian government website had nothing about the gun laws.....) I have found this-to the average person a double barreled shot gun is not allowed as it come sunder the catogory of a self loading weapon, but people such as farmes are allowed to use them.

I'd just like to know <span id='postcolor'> Actually, that is an FN FNC, it is made by FN...but it is not an FAL ...( In the movie HEAT ...Al Pachino is using an FNC in the big shootout scene after the bank robbery) FN stands for "Fabrique Nationale", (the name of the gun manufacturer)....FAL is a particular MODEL of rifle. It stands for "Fusil Automatique Leger" The FAL is a 7.62 NATO weapon (although there are FALs chambered in other calibres, like 8mm) More than 90 countries around the world including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, India, Israel, Libya, Peru, Singapore and the UK, have all issued FAL rifles to their soldiers at one time or another. The FNC is a 5.56 weapon (like the M16)...I have only ever fired one FNC, it was a full auto rifle owned by someone from the gun range...The one I fired ran very well (although I have heard both good, and bad things about the FNC)....I would be hesitant to make a solid statement as to their quality being good, or bad. (the one I fired was very nice) An FNC IS in my future shopping list,...but there are other rifles In front of it in line. ADDED NOTE .....Fabrique Nationale has a factory in the United States, and they are the current military contractor building M16s for the U.S. military.

madmedic 0 Posted December 13, 2002 Yes, they look similar in pictures...(they are similarly shaped / designed) But in person, there is a big difference The FAL is a bigger, heavier rifle...that fires 7.62x51 rounds from a 20 round box magazine The FNC is smaller, and fires 5.56 rounds....and uses M16 magazines.
