#FabricacionesMilitares

Argentina’s state owned defence manufacturer Fabricaciones Militares has delivered the first batch of modernised FAL rifles. Nearly 300 of the refurbished FALs have been handed over to the Argentine Army with new railed forends, stocks and top covers.

The family of very compact submachine guns that came from the creative mind of Gordon B. Ingram starting in the mid-1960s and subsequently series manufactured in the U.S. by the Military Armament Corporation (the .45ACP M10) and the SWD company (the 9x19mm Cobray M11) in the 1970-80 period or so may not have become true operational winners, but their general conceptual idea (“firepower in a very compact  package”) did call the public  –if not LE and military –attention. As you sure know, this resulted in a large number of close copies appearing in different parts of the world, South America included.
