Description

And yet another gun, this one is a FN FAL, which for no apparent reason took me ages to draw and since I usually don't do digital drawing I've made more mistakes than usual ^^.

Tools:gimp, pentagram graphical tablet.

Time taken: Longer than it should.

I remember this from the Army! They called it the "R1" (very original!) We got used to it, you could really hammer the opposition with it. We later went to the R4 (Galil Rifle) but I hear they now have a "dedicated marksman" in every platoon, which is a good thing. Great rifle!!

Ode to the Right Arm of the Free World! If I ever get one, I'm naming it Dominique

Okay I need to know the story behind that. Why Dominique?

AUTODECEPTITRON In reply to ProfBathrobe [2015-01-29 22:42:44 +0000 UTC]

Because Dominique is a French name, and the primary language of Belgium - where the FAL is produced - is French. Plus, FAL stands for Fusil Automatique Leger, which means "Light Automatic Rifle" in French.

The right arm of the free world. And the rifle of choice in the movie The Wild Geese.

Ahh the FN.
Brings back memories of when I was in the Infantry Reserves.
The C1s were still very capable weapons, but after decades of service the full auto C2s were pretty beat...
It was nearly impossible to get a decent grouping.
