Sorry dude, too lanky, clunky and unwieldy. I’ll go with my Armalite AR 10 any day. That’s before I lost it in a boating accident of course.
So, "AR" stands for "Aquatic Rifle" now? ;-)
Seriously, the FAL can be trimmed down to a more manageable barrel length. And it possesses some attributes that might be a stretch for any AR variant.

I have no issue wielding mine. The race to the bottom on short barrels and overall weight comes with a price.
