History of Weapons & War

This week on the History of Weapons & War app, there is a special focus on the war in Ukraine. The app is spotlighting content from various creators who have examined the war. Naturally, with TAB’s current regular focus on Ukraine there is lots of content from us. This includes some videos that aren’t yet released on the TAB YouTube channel – including a look at some surprising French weapons which have appeared!

Head over and check out the History of Weapons & War site/app. Until Sunday, you can get 25% off your first month’s subscription using the code ‘UKRAINE’.

FN Light Automatic Rifle ‘Competition Model’ Manual

In this short video we’ll take a look at a manual for the FN Light Automatic Rifle ‘Competition Model’. The FN LAR was a semi-automatic only commercial export variant of the FAL. This undated manual likely dates from the 1980s when FN began importing LAR’s into the US.

This week is FAL week over at History of Weapons & Warfare, with videos looking at the FAL from all of the creators being featured. Until Sunday, 8 October, you can get 25% off your first month when you use the discount code ‘L1A1‘! Head over and check out – www.weaponsandwar.tv
