FN FAL (Fallout Tactics)

The FN FAL is a small gun in Fallout Tactics.

Characteristics
It is probably the best Small Gun for long range combat, far exceeding the damage of the AK47, though the M16A1 has better range. (For close combat the best are the shotguns, and especially Pancor Jackhammer). It has a Burst mode, and uses 7.62 ammo, which is very common throughout the game.

Location
Can be found in two Special Encounters: Merchant and Pipboy 2000, also in Kansas City where it is carried by many ghouls; and one gun can be found in a chest outside the Cathedral.

Behind the scenes

 * The FN FAL is a battle rifle designed by Belgian company Fabrique Nationale d'Herstal (FN prefix) after World War II.
 * The rifle is based on a gas-operated mechanism. Selective fire modes were available when it was initially designed around intermediate power cartridges such as the German 7.92x33mm Kurz and the British .280 (7x43mm). Once NATO standardized on the more powerful 7.62x51mm round the FAL was successfully adapted to chamber it, but the selective fire capability was usually removed as the recoil proved uncontrollable when set to fully automatic.
