And not all FALs are select fire. The British L1A1 for example was reconfigured to be only semi-auto (just like the later modified M-14s) due to controlability issues!
Now what's your opinion on the HK G-3? I don't think much was said about this rifle.
The G3 is still used by Norway although it will be phased out in the near future.

My father used to own a Lithgow L1A1 SLR before the Port Arthur massacre but was forced to hand it in after said incident.

Before I was old enough to appreciate firearms of course. Still got one of the magazines for it too.

As for thoughts on the G3, it's quite possibly my favourite firearm. Oh the things I'd do to own one in Australia...
