INTRODUCTION

The FN Light Automatic Rifle, colibre 7.62 mm

NATO, usually known OS the “F. A. L.” or

“L. A. R.“,

has resulted from prolonged research

and

comoetitive

trials made in various countries

and unde; all types of climatic conditions.

Fig.

This rifle, which has been adopted by many

countries both within and outside NATO, was

designed and made by FN to give the user a

rifle which would combine all the essential qua-

lities needed under modern fighting conditions, to

a hitherto unequalled degree.

This booklet is neither for the armourer nor the

specialised officer:

its purpose is to familiarise

the user with a weapon which is new to him and to

put sufficient knowledge at his disposal to enable

him to use it with maximum efficiency.
