This was when I were a staff cadet before my weapon was for decoration.

I was under the impression that the 7.62 was a little overpowered in modern urban based warfare. You run in to a building, engage some bad people, and end up shooting your mates sitting outside, through a couple of walls and the side of a truck.

I got the opportunity to shoot the FN FAL a lot over a couple of years...I loved it, simple, accurate and you don't need to visit the gym.
