This video explores the French trials of various 5.56mm rifles in the 1970s, focusing on the FN CAL's attempt to meet the French Army's requirements. While the FN CAL already featured a four-position selector (safe/semi/full/burst), it lacked sufficient grenade launching capability. The video showcases modified FN CAL prototypes equipped with unique grenade launching hardware, as tested alongside competitors like the HK33 and M16. Despite these modifications, the HK33 was ultimately deemed the best performer but politically unacceptable, leading to the FAMAS being chosen. The video touches upon the FN CAL's broader unsuccessful trials and FN's subsequent development of the FNC. Footage was provided by the IRCGN.

This video analyzes the practical accuracy of the FN FNC rifle out to 500 yards. The FN FNC, developed by FN Herstal, was designed to compete with the M16 and has seen adoption by countries like Belgium (as the FNC), Sweden (as the AK5), and Indonesia (as the Pindad SS1). While not as influential as the M16, it's a recognizable rifle, notably featured in the movie HEAT. The video touches on its historical context, its modernization by Sweden into the AK5C, and its status as a collector's item in the US. The content features range tests and analysis of the rifle's performance, with special thanks to firearm influencers and a sponsor. The video is brought to you by 9 Hole Reviews and MidwayUSA.
