Also called the FN LAR (Light Automatic Rifle), a named ascribed to the FN FAL in Europe. The fact that there are so many variants, made by different countries and different names for the same models, causes a lot of confusion regarding what particular FAL is in what movie. For the most part, only the major variants of the gun will have been seen in movies with wide distribution, (the original Belgium version, U.S. versions, the Israeli Versions and British/Commonwealth Version).
