The FN is one of the sweetest weapons I've ever fired. While doing the SWAT gig in Houston, our team somehow secured a slot at an Army Sniper/Counter-sniper Course. It seems like it was put on by some NG Pathfinders, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I was th last man to make it into the Sheriff's Dept. armory and found that my bro's had checked out all of the sniper rifles....fuckers. So, I'm looking around the vault and I found an FN-FAL with walnut stocks. I found a scope...seems like it was a 4X off of an M16... and stuck it on the FN.

I took that baby to the sniper course and outshot just about everyone there....including the NG competition team (with their shooting jackets, custom stocks, etc.). Their commander came over and was quite pissed that I was putting more in the KZ than his hotshot snipers were.

Then, he saw what I was shooting. A huge grin grew across his face and he asked if he could shoot it. I said, "Sure, Sir," and handed it to him. He did a few full auto bursts, handed it back, and instructed me to take my patrol cap over to his ammo truck and advise the soldiers there to fill it with .308 ammo.

I followed his instructions and received tons of match-grade ammo. I shot as much of it as I wanted. What a deal! That weapon was the life of the party. I've dreamt of owning one ever since.
