@Herr-Berbunch I recon it depends on what firearm you have in your hands as each have their tendencies.Seeing as this man is not a trained solider and seemingly very experienced I assume that he is going to make a common mistake that a person familiar with proper operation would not make.Of course I was thinking more M16 in my head with the magazine not being seated.FALs from I have seen seem to have a design that insures good seating.I have heard that some FAL mags are junk though.
From I understand the FAL can be tricky to a person unfamiliar to them even a person that has experience with other firearms.I can not say myself as I have never fired a FAL before.The FAL does have the adjustable gas system if you have it set too high it becomes basically a single shot weapon(not enough gas pressure to move the bolt). Some surplus FALs available is the US are hit and miss and do not work very well no matter what.This guy being a rebel in a place that does not allow private ownership of firearms who knows where that FAL came from it could be junk.

Quite correct.
SPORTS is a general term for use with the AR-15(M-16)
I'm not acquainted with all of the latest iterations of assault weapons in manufacture these days. I was finished with that sort of thing when my ETOS from the army rolled around. Baby sitting little sister was a PITA.
But, even a Chinese made AK-47 has a forward assist, which doesn't really matter as they tend to cook off rounds in the breach. Most unsafe weapon I've ever fired and I have no desire to ever own one. But, I may be looking at getting an AR-15 and a 3D printer to print up a new reciever and the 30 round clip if the Dems continue their assault on our liberties.
