Welcome to our continuing coverage of
SHOT show 2017. That's right, the Shooting
Hunting Outdoor Trade Show in Las Vegas
Nevada with almost 65,000 people in
attendance and thousands upon thousands
of brand-new products.
We're going to cover it throughout the
week with regular updates. So stay tuned.
Hi this is Joel Persinger. I'm the GunGuy.
Thank you very much for watching my
channel. I really, deeply appreciate it.
I'm out at SHOT show. This is the second
day here and trying to do videos with
everybody at this place is insane.
But we're having a great time cruising
around. DSA is a great company. We
stopped by to talk with them. They've got
some really cool new products.
I'm gonna let Mike talk about those a
little bit. I notice you have the gun
that doesn't have the special stuff on
it.
Absolutely. But I think you're going to
show me some special stuff on another one.
I am. We're going to start off by showing
the traditional FAL. This is a fixed
stock 21 inch model and as stock standard
as they come.
This is the rifle that's pretty much
made all over... was made all over the
world and all over the U.S. This is what a
lot of people built out of parts kits.
It's a stock standard configuration.
It's a great rifle. For people who aren't
familiar with the FAL, it's got a lot of
great features for the classic military
rifle. It has the last shot hold open on
the empty magazine, which is something
that the HK and the AK did not have.
It has a fully adjustable gas
regulator. A single shot gas plug, so
you can actually turn the rifle off for
single shot mode. It has a non
reciprocating left side charging handle.
You've got your bolt hold-open device
right here that closes the action.
It's got a centrally-located magazine
release that makes removing the magazine
easy. It's got a rock and lock design.
This is actually, unlike
a Mini 14 or something, this is a true
tried-and-true battle rifle. Absolutely.
In service for nearly 60 years.
Adopted at one point in time by
nearly 90 countries. Manufactured
by over a dozen of them. And chambered in
what? 7.62x51. .308.
Full 308 power. This is
affectionately known as the right arm of
the free world. The Cadillac of battle
rifles. So you've taken this and
you've made it better?
We have made it better. How have you done that?
We've done a number of things. I'm going
to set this bad boy down and I'm gonna
grab something that we're really proud
of. This is the exact same fundamental
rifle as the one that I was just showing,
but what's special about this is it has
gone through what we refer to as an
upgraded military package.
We have provided the parts and
accessories and upgrade pieces to
foreign countries that adopted the FAL
rifles
in order to take it from these
traditional configurations that are
behind us and turn it into a modern
firearm that they can use for today's
type of conflicts and engagements.
Ok, one of the things I like to do on
my channel is answer the why.
So we've made a lot of changes and
we've got rails and other things... The
biggest reason that people are
looking to upgrade the rifle is Optics.
That is one of the biggest reasons why
people want to take their rifle from these
into something and make it look like
this.
The ability to mount optics on it
whether it be scope or red dot. This
particular is a Meprolight. Very popular
in other parts of the world. And then
one of the other things that this rifle
has, is it has a full rail interface
handguard 1913 picatinny spec. This is a
load-bearing handguard. That means that
you can mount anything that you want to
it including lasers.... Regardless of
weight...
Laser designators,
M203 40-millimeter grenade launchers. I
want one of those! I'm in California. Can
I get one of those?
Grenade launcher? I'm not
familiar with your laws, but probably not.
I want you California politicians I want
you to see me hold this.
Haha! I can't do it in California, but I can do it
here. So there you are. I'm feeling so much better now.
I interrupted you. I'm sorry. It's really OK.
So, those are some of the
features that are included in the
upgrade package. One of the other big
features in that package is the fully
adjustable side folding stock. That is
extremely cool. That makes that package
nice and compact. Absolutely.
It shortens the whole thing up
substantially. One of the really nice
things about the FAL side folding
stock is it locks in place unlike Galil
stocks or some of the other stocks
out there. So its not gonna flop back
out. No, it is not going to flop
around and it also gives you the ability
to fire while folded. You can still get the trigger.
If you're coming out of a vehicle of any kind, you
don't have to worry about deploying the
shock in order to be able to effectively
fire this rifle right out of the gate.
One of the reasons I like this as much
as I do, is because first of all, with a
308 you can ring the gong pretty far out
there. With a 556 you're out to a certain
range, you're done and even if you get
something out there at some point it
loses a lot of energy and a lot of velocity.
When you're my age, I'm pushing 60, if
you don't have optics your screwed. You can't
see the impact. Right.
I'm not going
to make that long a shot
no matter what I'm doing.
So having the authority of a .308...
absolutely... and then the
ability to actually hit what you're
shooting at a distance because you can put
optics on it, to me is huge. And this scope
mount that's featured on this rifle is our
number one selling upgrade both here and
abroad. This is a universal scope
mount. It fits any FAL that was ever
produced, whether it be metric or inch
pattern. There are to very distinctive patterns
that were manufactured over the years.
Inch patterns are the Commonwealth guns,
the guns of the British Empire. Yeah, I've seen
a lot of them. This scope mount will work
on any of them. Its universal and requires no
modification of the receiver. Like I said,
number one selling upgrade. I gotta to tell
you, this has been one of my... not
with all the goodies, because I've never
seen that till today... but it has been one
of my favorite rifles for a very, very
long time. They're just absolutely bullet proof.
The balance of them; the weight to them,
even though they're a little bit heavier,
the the weight actually plays out on the
balance that works perfectly.
Once people get ahold of FAL, they generally
never... They never go back. Mike,
thank you very much for your time today. I
appreciate it. Please check out DSA. They do
do some great stuff. They have a lot of
terrific products. Whatever you do
have a great time and come back, because
we're going to have more interviews and
more stuff from SHOT show here in Las
Vegas as we go through the week.
Thank you again for watching. Have a
wonderful week and be safe.
