Cool. What's the specs on their particular FAL's? Anything cool or unusual or just a run-of-the-mill 50.00?

U.N. peacekeepers from Uruguay prepare to trek to higher ground near Kibati, 12 km (7 miles) north of the provincial capital of Goma, October 29, 2008. Rebel forces advanced on Congo's eastern provincial capital of Goma on Wednesday, threatening to overwhelm government troops and a 17,000-strong U.N. force deployed to halt a return to all-out war.
