Notes[]

Jagged Alliance Online[]

The Common-tier variant with drum magazine remains the ammo capacity 20, despite the drum magazine seems capable of holding greater amount of rounds. All the common variants differ from one other only visually.
Both FN-FAL 50.41 variants have ammo capacity 30 per magazine. This would indicate those are actually FN-FALO light machinegun, just they lack longer barrels and bipods typical for support weapons.
The Epic-tier variant, known as Dirty Dozen FAL, is fed with different ammunition that lower-tier variants.

Tips & Tricks[]

Jagged Alliance V.1.12.[]

The FN-FAL is the best 7.62 NATO assault rifle in the game. With long range, high damage and low AP cost to fire, it performs very well in combat.
Due to its weight, it should be given to mercs with Strength at least 60, so they aren't encumbered.
When fitted with a sniper scope, laser scope, and a bipod, the FAL can replace sniper rifles as a long range weapon. Despite having shorter range than the Dragunov and the M-24, it still allows mercs to attack enemies beyond their range of sight.
Despite the possibility of burst fire mode, single shot mode is sufficient for most combat situations. Enemy soldiers usually fall down after two (or sometimes even one, if the target doesn't have good head armor) aimed shots at the head. Burst fire should only be used against Crepituses.
