| One versus one, which one of these European battle rifles is better? |

I like the AR10 best I wasn't alone in that, either. 
(Really, the AR10 was just late to the party. It'd be interesting to see what would have happened if development was more contemporaneous to the FAL.) |

One versus one, which one of these European battle rifles is better? I have both an HK91 and a Belgian 50.00. Accuracy goes to my particular FAL. Robustness goes to the HK. Aesthetics goes to the FAL, IMO. Spare parts, factory parts and aftermarket parts, perhaps the HK. Cool factor goes to the HK, when it's all decked out. Field stripping ease goes to the FAL, although both have quirks. Fun/pain in shooting goes to the FAL. Portability goes to the HK, although it seems to weigh a ton. Chris |

FAL is lighter and more ergonomic, easier to clean, solid folding stock, easier to scope. However the adjustable gas system can be annoying... It isn't very reliable with a suppressor. Even with a modified gas plug, still way too much gas for the gun suppressed. Very heavy trigger.
HK-91 is bigger and heavier, very reliable however, eats everything I feed it. It's a good suppressor host. Scoping it is kind of a pain though. Good full-auto host if you have a registered sear. Cheap mags. No last round hold open though. Very harsh recoil unless you get a heavy buffer, and then it's about the same as the FAL. Fixed stock with heavy buffer is the way to go with this rifle. Trigger is a little better. They are both good rifles, but I still want a FN SCAR 17... |

The future was intermediate caliber select fire. Germans knew it Soviets knew it British and Belgians knew it Old Pentagon brass looked to the past instead and shoved obsolete 762NATO down everyone's throat ...only to replace it with the M16 ten years later https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/84/MP44_-_Tyskland_-_8x33mm_Kurz_-_Arm%C3%A9museum.jpg/1024px-MP44_-_Tyskland_-_8x33mm_Kurz_-_Arm%C3%A9museum.jpg |

Very cool. Thanks for posting that.

Having had both. I had several Imbels built on Imbel kits.
I have had original HK91's G3. Not only is it reliable but it can repel a flanking attack from the shooters right with the ejecting brass trajectory Here is an HK shooter looking for his brass  [/URL]" />

I see your HEAT FAL and raise you a HEAT G3
