FN-FAL? 
Maybe still too much close range/aimpoint stuff necessary to switch completely.
Or like someone mentioned...NEW BULLET/barrel for the AR. |
The FN-FAL is a bitch in dusty or sandy conditions. One of the main reasons the South African army changed to the Galil-type weapon was the FNs propensity to jam if not kept spotlessly clean. The 7.62 Nato round was sorely missed though when converting to the 5.56 round. Not only was the 5.56 less good at long range, it was much easier deflected by grass and bush. Because the NATO round was almost impossible to shoot in auto mode, ammunition was conserved better and the extra rounds that could be carried using the 5.56 ammo were not needed.
