the FAL in Libya

Some pics of various FALs in the current civil war in Libya. Most of the don't appear to be beat up/battle scarred at all. I wonder what the backstory is? Wasn't the official military rifle the AK? Hope you enjoy:

Wow this one took a hit of some kind:

A bunch of threads on this subject already.. Check out the photos section. These rifles were removed from military storage, mostly unused.

Pics 15-16; captured the machete wielding gent in the horizontally striped brownish sweather catching a round and then sprawled out.

Chest shot. Dropped him like his plug was pulled. He still held on to the 'chete though.

Random shit. That sums up war. Lotsa chaos.

Big ups to the local populace in Libya that are ponying up.

Good pics. Thank you for posting.
