TACTICS:
Although classed as a long rifle, the FAL performs more like a long-range Assault Rifle. The fastest firing long rifle in the game, it also comes with a large magazine and decent damage per shot, allowing its wielder to shred even decently-sized groups of zombies without needing to reload. However, its relatively low accuracy means it is best given to survivors with a high Ranged Combat skill.
Recommended gear:
- Extended Mags enhance its magazine size further, allowing it to lay down fire for even longer. Some variants will also speed up its reloads.
- Weapon Cleaning Kits improve its relatively low accuracy, making it excellent for survivors with a low Ranged Combat skill.
- Glasses improve its range, giving its wielder a bit more breathing room. Some variants also boost its accuracy, useful for survivors with a low Ranged Combat skill.
- Ammunition Mods improve its damage, allowing it to bring down zombies more quickly and efficiently.

BACKGROUND:
Belgium's Fusil Automatique Léger ("Light Automatic Rifle") is a heavy but accurate and reliable weapon that was largely NATO's standard infantry rifle throughout the Cold War. Lighter assault rifles eventually replaced it, but many nations still manufacture and use their own iterations of "The Right Arm of The Free World".
Many were exported to the U.S. after the Cold War, and it remains a popular rifle among gun enthusiasts.
