[@nicholascauton9648]

@@nightowl8363 Totally on point. In fact, it's my favorite era of guns being made with the CAR-15, Beretta 92, and the FN FAL being some of my favorite guns. Anything past the 2000s though is when things become a little wacky.

Single shot assault rifles were rarely used. With the poor hit detection and bad lag compensation in Black Ops... it was just better to use full auto weapons.

[@MrGoldLaser]

he Fusil Automatique Léger ("Light Automatic Rifle") or FAL is a self-loading, selective fire battle rifle produced by the Belgian armaments manufacturer Fabrique Nationale de Herstal (FN). During the Cold War it was adopted by many North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries, with the notable exception of the United States. It is one of the most widely used rifles in history, having been used by more than 90 countries. The FAL was predominantly chambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round, and because of its prevalence and widespread use among the armed forces of many NATO countries during the Cold War it was nicknamed "The right arm of the Free World". A British Commonwealth derivative of the FN FAL has been produced under licence as the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle.

Hey Stuart, have you ever thought about making guides for the maps of Call Of Duty? Explaining the history of each map/what place its based off, chokepoints, spawn locations, sniping positions and the like? Seems like an interesting idea

[@marofer758]

When he says "Epic Win" at the start, this is a reference to the Zombie Mode. The EPC WN (Epic Win) is the "Pack a Punch" version of the FN FAL (Effin´ Fail). Stu, you´re a genius ;)

[@RS-nc7ok]

I think it's funny that they used this model for the game, it's a mutt gun. The barrel/ frontsight/ upper receiver is a eastern European model, probably the German G1 with a Stg-58 carrying handle (the 3 slot handguard, non-folding charging handle, lug flashhider, and of course it's measurements are metric.) the lower/ stock/ rear sight block is the British L1A1 SLR with a late model fiberglass/ plastic grip (the stepped stock, folding rear sight, and it's measurements are inch) so instead of the FAL (Fusil Automatique Léger) which was what only the guns out of Belgium were called, it should be the "G1SLR" (Gewehr 1 Self Loading Rifle)

It's a word play that already originated thanks to MW2 multiplayer. FN FAL - could be read as "effin fail", as perceived by some players - was on the other hand praised by others, who nicknamed it EPC WN (this is obvious enough). So, there you go.

[@nightowl8363]

Dual Mag for me. This was my favorite FAL, just really liked the feel

[@judsongaiden9878]

Full-auto was found to be useless with battle rifles which is why some of them were adapted into designated marksman's rifles firing only in semi-auto. For example, the M14 was the basis for the M21 and the M25 (as well as the M14 EBR and its Navy counterpart, the Mk.14 EBR, both classified as "battle rifles"). 2:47 Well, that's fine, seeing as how it's not an "assault" rifle.

[@StefromBurnley]

So many great guns in Black Ops, and the FAL might be the most under-rated of the lot. I'm a big ACOG user, and I tended to use the FAL with either just that, or I'd run Warlord and add Dual Mags. Saying that, I think the iron sights on the FAL are probably the best in the game, meaning the silencer is a very appealing option.

[@jasonfrancese8359]

I love how you say that if you need extended mags on this gun, get better with the gun.

it is, when you pack-a-punch the FAL, it changes the name to "epc wn" makes it a 3 burst, gives it a sight, and it shoots lasers

[@lmArctic]

If you don't like warlord, try hardened pro. The 80% reduced flinch when being hit is really useful for accurate.

[@rg03500]

I think that the optics are a waste on the FAL, since it has beautiful irons. My preferred attachment is the Masterkey, to compensate for the poor CQ capabilities. Hardened Pro is an excellent perk on the semi-autos so that an opponent returning automatic fire doesn't throw off your aim. RPG is a good secondary to route out those pesky campers. This is one of my favorite weapons, and I have a friend who loves it too, but has a nearly entirely different loadout.

[@rockkid1412]

this looks so much cooler than the m14

[@cakeee5720]

Different types of "narration" the two others you mentioned have a deep, dramatic/cinematic voice. Xbox ahoy is what you could call an informative narrator, which is completely different.

[@kidsIIIII009]

I use the Fal as if I would not FA-I-L.....

[@SurfbyShootin]

thats the point, the preffered strategy I what I used in MW2, those same tactics carried into Black ops, The wapon and perks work well in other games of similar setups. For exmple a pistol is goo for hip fire to make up for the FAL's hip accuracy and it pulls out very fast. That helped me survive in MW2. And the use of claymores. The basic reccomended approach works for weapons similar to this ins the series.

[@fkim96]

"EPIC WIN" LOOL i see what you did there stuart!

[@jordiawesome]

I prefer just the shotty attachment, it has plenty of ammo and great ironsights, all it fails in is close range, so its a pretty dam good choice imo

[@brendenmyron1150]

i used the -FUN FAL- w /extended mags and put dual weild Python with it. motion sensor for equipment and for my perks i chose hardline, sleight of hand, and hacker (pro versions for all). For my killstreaks i chose care package, Rolling Thunder, and Attack Dogs. I played this on launch and got 19-0.

MrRuss709 lol ew 58-0 with ghost is funny. if you need ghost to get chopper dogs then you're bad

Hello this is XboxAhoy, and this is the best tutorial for COD

[@dhvsheabdh]

Ahhh but after all it's not the engagement, it's the evasion of it which is the advantage. The ability to know where the enemy is, but for them to not know where you are allows you to sneak around, or catch people off guard and mid-sprint is what essentially gives free kills.

you are right the commando is basically a shorter version of the m16 used by seals in vietnam. gun is very similar to the m4

as a stealth player i completely admit that Ghost and Assassin are completely overpowered perks, i used him because i like to play stealth due to games like metal gear and hitman, but the people that hate the stealth players need to understand is that the game need that style of play, or else killstreaks and portable radar will be overpowered, everybody will know where others are and what can you do? only counter uav? to be fair with no stealth, the map on corner and radars and stuff need to go
