Shitpost / Memes Got a PAL? Buy a FAL.

I think that pretty much sums up the sentiment of the week.

Record pre-orders have likely been made.

The only bad things ive seen are bad ergos for bolt hold open and left folding stock + left side charging handle prevents operation with folded stock.

But is the barrel any good?

It's a non-reciprocating charging handle. It's posted everywhere that the platform functions with the stock open or closed

Right, i meant to say the charging handle cannot be pulled when stock is closed. But thats not a big deal.
