Proud real life FNFAL owner not happy... | Forums

First off, love the game. This is just a little rant cause it bothers me.

I own a FN-FAL in real life. I have seen many FNFALs, I have fired many of them, even used a FNFAL Para many times.

The ingame one is reversed! The ejection port is on the right side of the rifle, not the left!

ARG! I hate how the player reaches over the gun to charge the rifle.

I know this is small but really, where do you find a FNFAL with the ejection port on the left side?

That is all.

The reason behind this (so i heard) was to make the gun more visually interesting by making it like it is on the visual side... hehe

Bah, I'd love to have been in on the meeting for this. You know the weapon modelers or whatever went out to firing ranges to take pictures of the guns and someone decided to reverse it.

Oh well, I'll continue to use my incredibly rare left side ejecting FNFAL.

It's like driving your car in a driving game... and the interior is reversed. Bothers me everytime I have to reload. hehe.

It was obviously done to make it feel more "punchy" and "visual", but yes there's no weapon in real life unless specially made that have left side ejection ports, it makes no sense, the bullets will fly up in your face.

I have a buddy that is left handed and when he shoot our M16 in the army he gets truly ****ed because the shells often pop in his face depending on how he holds the rifle when he fires it.
