30 caliber makes a lot more sense when you don't understand maneuvering or small unit tactics.

Instructor Zero has a YouTube series about wildlife rangers in Africa using FAL rifles on patrols. Episode 2 dropped a few days ago. This thread and those videos make me want a FAL.

They are using them because it's what they have not what's best.
If you want a DMR use something in 6.5 creedmore. There are much better options than .308 Also lol at the "sniper" in the second pic with his barrel hanging out the loophole. |

I personally have not ran into that issue. Mine has ate everything as of late. Tula, wolf, Hirtenberger, some german stuff that the headstamp has been sanitized(although I had to crank up the gas for this stuff) It by no means is my first pick. But if that's what I had I wouldn't be upset in the slightest. I suppose of the major battle rifles its the one I trust and like. I do not care for the G3 series what so ever |
