| ARTICLES RELATED TO FN FAL | | | |  FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - Lee-Enfield - Lee-Enfields in the mediaThe Lee-Enfield series bolt-action rifles have been seen in many war movies dealing with the Second Anglo-Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War, and the Korean War with the rifle being carried by British and British Commonwealth forces. Movies like the 1981 Australian World War 1 film Gallipoli (with the No.1 Mk.3 SMLE being seen and used by the ANZACS and the British troops) and the 1977 British/American World War 2 film A Bridge Too Far (with the No.4 rifle being seen and used by British soldiers and paratroopers) are good exampl ...

| | | | | FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - M16 rifle - Design The M16 is made of aluminum alloy and plastics, except for the steel barrel and parts of the action. Early models were especially lightweight at 3.2 kg (7.5 lb), about 30% less than older 7.62 mm "battle rifles" of the 1950s and 1960s. It also compares very favourably with the 5 kg (loaded) AK47. New models weigh more (8.5 lb or 3.9 kg) because of the "heavy" barrel used to increase accuracy. The rifle is 40 inches (1.02 m) long with standard 20 inch (508 mm) barrel. Stoner experimented with titanium barrels for even greater weight savings, but failed to ach ...

M16 rifle - Overview.
In the 1980s, many soldiers who had been equipped with M16A1s were given a M249 (in addition to the M60s it replaced). In the 1990s, the adoption of the M4 Carbine meant many more M16A2s would be replaced by it. The Air Force currently plans to replace all its M16s with M4s according to a 2004 presentation. The M16A2 still remains the main U.S. service rifle in the Army, though in the 2000s the Marine Corps moved to M16A4 rifles. Also the M16 never entirely replaced the M14 in all roles, which continues to be used in a number o ...

Contributing to the total was the arsenal at Ishapore in India, which continued to produce the Enfield in 7.62 mm until the early 1970s, and the BSA factory at Shirley in Birmingham.

| | | | | FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - Cartridge firearms - Caseless ammunition Around 1989, Heckler & Koch, a prominent German firearms manufacturer, began making press releases about the G11 assault rifle, which shot a 4.75x33 square caseless round. The round was mechanically fired, with an integral primer.
In 1993 Voere of Austria began selling a gun and caseless ammunition. Their system used a primer, electronically-fired at 17.5 ± 2 volts. The upper and lower limits prevent fire from either stray currents or static electricity. The direct electrical firing eliminates the mecha ...

| | | | | FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - Cartridge firearms - Problems The conventional cartridge also adds certain problems to the gun.
The cartridge is both expensive and heavy, and the single most difficult part to manufacture. Generally, they were manufactured by deforming a disk of brass with a series of progressive dies. Cases are generally round, and this decreases the volumetric efficiency of the gun's magazine. A caseless cartridge can have the propellant molded in a square shape.
The gun has to have an ejection port to eliminate the spent cartridge-case. This means that dirt and flu ...

| | | | | FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - Cartridge firearms - Cartridges in use There is great variety in the length and diameter of cartridges for the different kinds and calibres of rifles and pistols. The best cartridge for different purposes is subject to much discussion. However there are standard uses for certain calibres, and these are a reliable guide to recommended uses.
It is important to note that equivalent caliber is by no means equivalent power. Generally speaking, "stopping power" is determined by the weight of the bullet, the terminal ballistics of the bullet -- does it stay s ...

| | | | | FN FAL: Encyclopedia II - Cartridge firearms - Design The cartridge seals a firing chamber in all directions except down the bore. A firing pin strikes the primer, igniting it. The spark from the primer ignites the powder. Burning gases from the powder expand the case to seal against the chamber wall. The projectile is then pushed in the direction that releases this pressure, down the barrel. After the projectile leaves the barrel the pressure is released and the ...

Carbine - Carbine use in contemporary military forces.
By the 1990s, the US had adopted the M4 Carbine, a derivative of the M16 family which was lighter and shorter (in overall length and barrel length) subsequently resulting in reduced range and power. In addition, due to the development of body armor, support personnel required a compact weapon with more stopping power than the traditional pistol, leading to the development of the personal defense weapon, or PDW, which uses rounds that have better ballistics th ...

Carbine - Pistol caliber carbines.
One of the more unusual classes of carbine is the pistol caliber carbine. These first appeared soon after metallic cartridges became common. These were developed as "companions" to the popular revolvers of the day, firing the same cartridge but allowing more velocity and accuracy than the revolver. These were carried by cowboys, lawmen, and others in the Old West. The classic combination would be a Winchester lever action carbine and a Col ...

History of the British Army - Organisation.
Due to the Indian Mutiny (1857-58), the Army was extremely overstretched, to such an extent that Canadian volunteers raised a regiment for the British Army for serve in India, titled the 100th (or Prince of Wales's Royal Canadians) Regiment of Foot; it did not, however, see service there. In the aftermath of the Mutiny, control of India was transferred from the East India Company to the Crown. The so-called 'European' regiments of the East India Company were transferred ...

Many Americans, however, sought to remain with the British Empire and duly fought for the British, and were known as Loyalists. Five American units were placed on the regular establishment, known as the American Establishment (formed in 1779) though there were many other Loyalist units. Upon the independence of America and the end of the war in 1783, many of the Loyalist forces fled north to Canada, where many subsequently served with the ...

Some frequent complaints are that it is not very ergonomic and that manufacturing the rifle required more complex assembly than older rifles like the FN FAL. The barrel also has to be pressed into the trunnion, a seemingly unnecessary complexity and various welds have to be made. It is a heavy rifle, nine pounds (four kilograms) without a magazine. On the balance, this is a complaint that can be levied against many weapons. Some also complain that the detail strip is odd or ...

The Government introduced the Ten-Year Rule, stating its belief that Britain would not be involved in another major war for 10-years, and was abandoned in 1932.

History of the British Army - Organisation.
By the time the British Empire, France and their allies declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, two days after its invasion of Poland, the Army was still unprepared. For example, only a very small number of Matilda tanks (later to gain fame in North Africa) were in service when war broke out, and nearly 100,000 soldiers were based abroad, more than half of which were located in India and the East of Suez garrisons, such as Singapore. Others were based in the Medite ...
