the Americans didn't understand the advantages of the intermediate round that had been so well illustrated by the success of the German STG44 at ranges where the vast majority of rifle fire was actually effective. They still clung to the WW1 mentality of long-range lethality and pushed their shitty 7.62 x 51 round on NATO. If they hadn't forced the redesign of the FAL to accommodate the bigger cartridge, with some tweaks and updates like the AK it would likely still be in use around the world . To compound their short-sightedness they rejected the FAL for their 'home-grown' design of the far less practical M14 - little better than the M1Garand it replaced and completely useless and uncontrollable on full auto.

I did my military service with the FAL. Excellent weapon, very reliable if maintained properly. Too heavy for the extended patrols we did.
