The FN FAL (Belgian: Fusil Automatique Léger; English: Light Automatic Rifle), often shortened to FAL, is a battle rifle manufactured by FN Herstal that chambers the 7.62x51mm NATO round. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries. The rifle became so popular that it was nicknamed "The right arm of the Free World."
There are variants of the FAL that exist in the Rainbow Six universe. These variants are the SA58 and the FAL 50.63.
- The SA58 is a copy of the FAL created using the same machining equipment as the Austrian FAL variant, the StG-58, hence the "58" in the name. It is produced by American company David Selvaggio Arms (DSA).
- The FAL 50.63, or the FAL PARA 2, is a paratrooper folding stock variant of the regular FN FAL, requested by Begian paratroopers.
The FN FAL and the SA58 are categorized as assault rifles in the Rainbow Six universe. Whilst the FAL 50.63 does not appear as a usable weapon, it is featured as a world model in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown.
