This entry details the experimental FN FAL rifle, contrasting its early prototypes with the later production models and the competing EM2 bullpup rifle. It highlights the significant impact of NATO standardization, particularly the adoption of the 7.62 NATO cartridge, on firearm design and the eventual selection of the FAL over the EM2 due to logistical and cost considerations. The information is presented by Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms & Artillery at the Royal Armouries.
