    The last time I took a Principal to Brazil, we went nowhere near Rio. We were told by our local police escorts, however, that we must NEVER leave the grounds of the hotel after dark, under any circumstances, without their presence. This was in a small, up-river town that looked like the Brazilian version of Mayberry RFD. In Rio, gangs routinely attack local police stations. The crime level in Brazil is epic...

    That FAL that took AR mags (NOT an FNC)... what a piece of shit.

    It looks like a mag adaptor added after the fact, but obviously it is a whole new receiver and barrel.







    I wonder if the design is the issue, the mags, the lack of maintaining, or an idiot end user?




    It looks like TWO different AR mag well designs in the photos. The first picture looks like an adaptor in a 7.62 FAL mag well, and the other two pictures look like a solid milled lower. Neither appeared to work for shit.
    Looks like Imbel MD's, probably one of the earlier ones.

    They are the local FAL to 5.56 conversion, but unlike the FNC, the early ones retained most of the FAL's original operating system, just scaled down to 5.56. The Belgian's tried that too and found it didn't work, hence why the FNC is basically a really nice AK.

    The US in a few categories is an extremely fucked up place.

    In many other categories I am damn glad I'm here and not somewhere like Brazil. Shithole doesn't begin to describe some places.

    I dated a Brazilian lady. She told me she would never return to Brazil to live due to the corruption .

    One story she told me involved her calling the police for a noise complaint. They told her they did not have a car or even a bicycle, but they would respond if she came and picked them up.

    The Elite Squad movies about the BOPE are really good.
