ParaFAL

"The ParaFAL is a lightweight modification of the classic FN-FAL that has recently been adopted as the official rifle of the Brazilian Army. Upgrades include a shorter barrel for better potability and the inclusion of high-impact polymers to make the ParaFAL more resistant to damage."

- The Arsenal

The ParaFAL is a modernized variant of the Fusil Automatique Léger, or FN FAL;and was first released during the Black Friday 2011 Event.

Overview
As a battle rifle, this weapon deals mostly moderate damage. It also features a high fire rate and low recoil, making it somewhat similiar to the M416.

However, unlike the M416, it suffers at longer ranges where its damage will drop off to weak 4-5 shot kill and where its accuracy is of questionable reliability. While most good assault rifles tend to be low to mid 80s in accuracy, this gun has high 70s, making it much less effective than other assault rifles in a longer range fight. As such, the ParaFAL is suited for close to medium ranges where its high fire rate, excellent portability for an assult rifle and good damage can overwhelm most targets. Its recoil patterns are similar to the M416 CQB, making it a good weapon for spray-and-pray tactics.
