I can't use the Fal oddly, but the SMR my KD is much higher. Heck, I beat smg's up close with it due to it's 2 hit kill.

...I also get robbed of my 2 hit kill many times but I still make up for it at range.

...but please, don't go abusing my secret weapon. I don't want people crying nerf once they do it to the fal

Yea, I know a lot of people who like that diamond cammo. Just I would like to have a chrome cammo. I'm thinking that white cammo would look good.

I like the plain cammo's that don't distract from the custom emblem.

i think diamonds look good. EXCEPT on the type25 where it looks like a bunch of warts. M27 looks mightly nice though. as does the SMR.

Use the other AR's out of boredom. White cammo? Does this mean I'm going to have to max out on my AR's? I will level up for white or chrome cammo, but that diamond cammo is hideous.

I have every AR gold apart from the FAL and SMR or what ever it is called. I am half way through with the SWAT. the FAL and SMR will be the death of me as i can not seem to use single shot guns

My FAV gun too. However its fun to use other guns for variety. Like LMGs SMR AN94 too.

Notice the new camo on the peacekeeper? UN WHITE - gonna look great on my FAL.

I like the FAL too, I just don't like when people use it with a modded controller.

A semi auto is stronger because you would have to keep triggering it. Having the ability to put it into full auto mode is exactly the same to using a modded controller. It gives you the advantage all the time.

You could say that about any full auto.

FAL was my first gold gun, loved it, got around 2-3k kills with it and a 2.7+KD.

Now I don't even use it, to be honest the MTAR is alot better and less recoil than a full auto FAL. Started using the an-94, meh its recoil is abit too wild. Now I'm just folding certain primary's, like assault shield, an-94, DSR & vector.

Use another gun so you dont get bored. Nobody really cares what your stats are.

FAL is pretty godly but I also like the AN-94 better with stock. But yeah, I'll take FAL overall.

My FAL KDR-3.95 with 7000 kills

Every other AR or SMG- 2.3-3.1

LMGs-4.0-6.0

LMG's are pretty OP on some maps. glad people have yet to realize that yet.

I think part of the problem is that FAL if Semi-auto'd at max rate(hard to do, but possible) in its 2hit range...or with headshots...has a faster kill rate than skorpion rapidfire, perfect hit pointblank(by a very very slight margin.)

When Considering that the fal is already super accurate, and maintains its accuracy over distance with a large magazine using decent ADS and reload...its kind of hard to beat.

I think the FAL with select fire and target finder has become "that" gun what a lot of people find overpowered. I prefer the SMR for its longer 2shot kill range.

I don't think anything is OP in thus game and I can counter everything, but the FAL as above is very noob friendly and people who are not great tend to turn to that setup, I have a friend who uses it because he just does way better than when he's using any other AR.

I wouldn't be surprised if the FAL got another slight nerf in this next big update. As I said though it doesn't bother me.

I like it. No onw answered the OP's question.

I LOOOOOVE the Semi AR's because once you get used to them again, say a match or two, then you can pull the trigger soo fast. This leads to the ability to kill an enemy in a shorter period of time than the automatic AR's.

Its all about the time it takes to kill rather than any other single stat. Well, at least for close range. The FAL does long range soo well and we are all aware of that.

If you dont want to use another thats fine but I would reccommend trying to getthe calling cards or skins for other weapons/attachments. I am 2.5 rifles away from diamond AR's and I have never played a COD game more than this. COD4 was close but that was over the whole year it was out. Its 2 months almost 3 now and I have made it further than I have any other COD at Prestige 6 and a lot of gold guns.

Maybe because you might want a little variety?

I think the FAL is a great gun too.

I only run the FAL on a couple of maps and I only play HC. So if I'm on Yemen, Drone or Carrier, I tend to run with a suppressed FAL. Otherwise, I prefer the AN-94 or suppressed M27. I'll take a high fire rate over a plodding one in hardcore any day.
