General information : This bayonet was intended for use on which was probably the best military rifle ever produced, the FN FAL. Since it’s development in 1951 by F.N.’s master engineer Dieudonné Saive the FAL’s status grew to become known as "the right arm of the free world". It was with the FN FAL that most western countries armed themselves against communism and dictatorships.The success of the FAL was based on various interesting features; a powerful cartridge (7.62 NATO), a relatively light recoil, high precision and very reliable mechanics. It is estimated the production figures of the FAL rifle, all models and derivates, largely exceed a million pieces. The list of countries that have adopted this rifle (or one of its derivates) is almost endless; Argentina, Australia (L1A1), Austria (Stg. 58), Brasil, Canada (C1A1), Germany (G1), Ireland, India (1A SLR), Israel (Romat), Netherlands, United Kingdom (L1A1), Venezuela, South-Africa, … The bayonet features 2 extensions on the muzzle ring which are a simple form of suppressors.
