My FN-FAL was an Australian Model, nice gun, semi-auto. One pull of the
trigger for each round fired. Mind you if you crank up the valve..... the
kick back might make you squeeze off a couple more inadvertently! ;-)


That was/is one of the selling points of the weapon, by cranking the valve even the most slovenly soldier who allows his weapon to rust and fill with
sand could still get the auto-load to work, along with a real sore shoulder!
