FAL - Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/AhoyYT Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy The FN FAL is a semi-automatic weapon, unlocked at level 28. The 'fusil automatique léger' or 'light automatic rifle' was designed in the wake of World War Two, by Belgian Based FN Herstal. The first prototype was completed in 1947, and the FAL first entered production in 1953, where it saw widespread adoption in the armed forces of NATO member countries. The FAL was originally intended to fire an intermediate cartridge - although this met with opposition from the US, who doubted the smaller calibre's lethality. Eventually the 7.62 by 51 millimetre cartridge was adopted as the NATO standard and this would be the cartridge the FAL would fire upon its production. This technically makes the FAL a battle rifle rather than an assault rifle - and thanks to its widespread adoption and usage, is regarded as a paradigm post-war battle rifle, often described as 'the right arm of the free world'. In-game, the FAL is a high-damage, mid-recoil weapon - and is the only available semi-automatic weapon in the assault rifle category. It deals the most damage per shot of all the assault rifles - the only real downside is that you have to pull the trigger for each shot. On the plus side, this does make it easier to regulate your fire rate, so once you're familiar with the weapon you can adjust the rate of fire to suit the recoil and range of the engagement - at longer ranges you'll want to allow the sights to settle before firing again. With practice, you'll be able to fire effectively on a target from close range out to quite some distance - although as a semi-auto weapon with a larger hipfire spread the FAL doesn't fare so well in close quarters. For your blue perk, I preferred Sleight of Hand for an aggressive role with the FAL - if you prefer to take a more conservative approach then Bling can be used to pair the Holographic and Silencer for silent two-hit kills across the
