DWF LAG

A weapon with an extremely successful service history, eventually coming to be used by over 90 countries, with 15 becoming licensed producers. Famously christened as "The Right Arm of the Free World", the FAL is commonly regarded as the quintessential NATO Cold War-era weapon.
The FAL in Europe, however, was an all but extinct weapon by the 2000's, replaced by newer, lighter assault rifles firing intermediate cartridges, and kept out of the hands of civilians by stringent ownership prohibitions. Military-issued weapons now destined for storage were eventually given away to nations elsewhere in arms deals over the decades. The weapon predominantly survived in and continued development into the new millennium at the hands of various North and South American companies under license from FN instead. In the US, the company DSA created a modernized variant of the FAL called the DSA SA58 FAL with several specialized sub-variants, while Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela adopted the FAL as service rifles for their militaries and developed their own domestic variants, such as the M964 and FAMA. South Africa adopted the rifle as the R1, which in later decades was retained as a designated marksman rifle as it was replaced from frontline service by the R4, R5 and R6.
The FAL saw a revival with the formation of the ECA and their war effort against the aliens. Despite the G3 being stockpiled throughout Europe, nostalgic elements of the British half of the Anglo-German Alliance advocated for the return of the famous FAL (specifically the L1A1 "inch-pattern" variant) as an interim battle rifle while the EM-3 was undergoing joint development. Although the Germans were somewhat vexed by this preference, DWF agreed to reproduce the Belgian battle rifle, lightly modified for fully automatic fire capability. The "New FAL" saw a limited production run between 2015 to 2017 as the DWF LAG, by which point the EM-3 entered production, and specific interests in the EM-3s success curtailed further competition.
Widely regarded as an anachronistic choice of weapon, the FAL's reputation has nonetheless seen it explicitly sought after by fans and elite units alike in the EuF military.
