It was a heavy SOB (though not as heavy as that M60 mongrel [or as much fun, really]), but the reassuring kick it gave as it's 7.62 round left the barell made up for that.
The French version had a heavier barrell and selective fire (single shot and full auto). The Aussie one had single shot only; thus teaching young diggers it's not the amout of lead you can throw at an ememy; it's how accurate you can deliver them.
The SLR rocked and still does.

Addemdum: DOH! I messed up. FN is a Belgian company, not French.
I knew that!
Anyway, here's a link to info on the FAL family (the whole site is pretty good, excellent even).
