Well I've not found a reference to the FN-FAL rifle you said you fired
in automatic 3 round bursts.

Did I say it was an FAL? I don't think so, because I don't think it was.
FN is a manufacturer & design group that makes many different weapons.

... I am well aware of how it can be simply
altered to be full automatic (if that is what one wants).

All that stuff about making a semi into a fully automatic by filing a
little off the sear, or some other simple change one might make in one's
garage, is nonsense.

... Can you help
me find how it can be altered in the way you describe?

It wasn't altered, it was built that way. I believe that it has an
additional gas expansion chamber to operate the 3-round selected fire.

... Is it possible
you were firing some other weapon?

There were several 3-round capable weapons being handed around, one was
the well known H&K MP5.

The one I would really like a chance to try is the G-11

Do you think this would make a good cruiser's gun?
