While FN was famous for its FN FAL, it was clear that the NATO battle rifle&#8217;s era was ending and the FN CAL (the FNC&#8217;s predecessor) was clearly not a good solution. <\/p>\n<p>While the FNC was certainly not nearly as influential as the M16, many firearm enthusiasts have come to know it as Detective Hanna&#8217;s (Al Pacino) rifle in the film HEAT and its famous shootout scene. <\/p>\n<p>The FNC was notably adopted by countries such as Belgium, Sweden (as the AK5) and Indonesia (as the Pindad SS1), but still was not a major competitor to the M16 series of rifles. Of these countries, Sweden did the most to modernize the FNC under the AK5C program, but still did not match many capabilities that the modern M16\/AR15 family and its massive aftermarket sector developed. <\/p>\n<p>The FNC is now a major collector&#8217;s piece in the U.S. <\/p>\n<p>Special Thanks to: <br \/>James from @tfbtv <br \/>Ian from @ForgottenWeapons <br \/>Admin from @AdministrativeResults <br \/>and Jon V. for loaning us the rifle! <\/p>\n<p>Video brought to you by @midwayusa<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/9HoleReviews\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/9HoleReviews\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/9HoleReviews\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/9HoleReviews<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/c\/9HoleReviews\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/rumble.com\/c\/9HoleReviews<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You an also access the Practical Accuracy Scoreboard here \ud83d\udc49  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.9holereviews.com\/practical-accuracy\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.9holereviews.com\/practical-accuracy<\/a><br \/>Consider supporting us via Patreon!<\/p>\n<p>Consider visiting our supporter  @SlateBlackIndustries  \ud83d\udc49 Discount Code &#8220;9HOLE&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shopping on Amazon?
