Remarks Sterling submachine guns also were widely manufactured for export, more than 70
countries purchased various quantities of Sterling submachine guns. It must be noted that these
weapons were rather popular among British troops because of their relatively compact size,
adequate firepower and accuracy and good reliability. Special “high power, submachine-gun
only” ammunition was procured by British army for Sterling submachine guns. This ammunition
was absolutely safe in Sterling submachine guns, but can cause extensive wear to many 9mm
pistols designed for commercial 9x19 ammunition.

Description
Remarks The FN FAL (Fusil Automatique Leger - Light Automatic Rifle) is one of the most
famous and widespread military rifle designs of the 20th. century. It can be found in both the
7.62 NATO and, very rarely, the 5.56 NATO versions. The furniture may be wood, metal or
plastic. There are various barrel lengths. The UK (L1A1), Canadian, Indian and Netherland
versions don’t have an automatic fire mode. The gas system is fitted with gas regulator so
it could be easily adjusted for various environment conditions, or cut off completely so rifle
grenades could be safely launched from the barrel.

Remarks The M60 is a family of American general purpose machine guns firing 7.62x51mm
NATO cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links. There are several types of live ammunition approved for use in the M60, including ball, tracer, and armor-piercing rounds. The
M60 was referred to as “The Pig” during the Vietnam War. The M60’s gas operation is unique,
and drew on technical advances of the period, particularly the White “gas expansion and cutoff”
principle also exploited by the M14 rifle. The M60’s gas system was simpler than other gas
systems and easier to clean.

Remarks The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man’s shoulder width, to
allow it to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an armored
vehicle.To achieve this, the weapon’s design utilizes the unconventional bullpup configuration,
in which the action and magazine are located behind the trigger and alongside the shooter’s
face so that there is no wasted space in the stock.The P90’s dimensions are also minimized by
its unique horizontally mounted feeding system, wherein the box magazine sits parallel to the
barrel on top of the weapon’s frame. The weapon overall has an extremely compact profile.
