FAL is an obtainable Tactical Doll in the game.

Weapon Background

FAL operates by means of a gas-operated action very similar to that of the Russian SVT-40. The gas system is driven by a short-stroke, spring-loaded piston housed above the barrel, and the locking mechanism is what is known as a tilting breechblock. To lock, it drops down into a solid shoulder of metal in the heavy receiver much like the bolts of the Russian SKS carbine and French MAS-49 series of semi-automatic rifles. The gas system is fitted with a gas regulator behind the front sight base, allowing adjustment of the gas system in response to environmental conditions. The piston system can be bypassed completely, using the gas plug, to allow for the firing of rifle grenades and manual operation. FAL's magazine capacity ranges from 5 to 30 rounds, with most magazines holding 20 rounds. In fixed stock versions of the FAL, the recoil spring is housed in the stock. However, in folding-stock versions, it is housed in the receiver cover, necessitating a slightly different receiver cover, recoil spring, and bolt carrier, and a modified lower receiver for the stock.

FAL rifles have also been manufactured in both light and heavy-barrel configurations, with the heavy barrel intended for automatic fire as a section or squad light support weapon. Most heavy barrel FALs are equipped with bipods, although some light barrel models were equipped with bipods, such as the Austrian StG58 and the German G1, and a bipod was later made available as an accessory.

Among other 7.62×51mm NATO battle rifles at the time, the FN FAL had a relatively light recoil due to the gas system being able to be tuned via regulator in fore-end of the rifle, which allowed for excess gas which would simply increase recoil to bleed off. In fully automatic mode, however, the shooter receives considerable abuse from recoil, and the weapon climbs off-target quickly, making automatic fire only of marginal effectiveness. Many military forces using FAL rifles eventually eliminated full-automatic firearms training in the light-barrel FAL

Character Info

Design

According to interview of artist Suisai on the Artbook <THE ART OF GIRLS'FRONTLINE UNTIL THE STARS>:

  The first edition appearance was based on English version L1A1, but the results was not that good, then changed it back to FAL, and kept original ideas of the ferret and the kukri on L1A1. 
  As one of the best three product of FN company, FAL must be the pride of FN. In this case the inspiration of her is about “Elite” and “Noble”, which lead to an outstanding and core member of the team. 
  Idea of T-Doll + T-Pet comes from the movie Cats & Dogs, at the beginning the T-Pet was a cat, but it was too big, then I realized that ferret should be the one while in snow area, and changed into it. And it has a name fal (same as its master). 

The flower on Wedding skin “The Most Important Day”, the flower on her hand is the National flower of Belgium—Azalea Flower (Same as Five-seveN).

The story behind creating the ferret:

  At beginning there was an idea about “Fox Hunter”, so the first impression was Arctic fox, its logo was also finished. Then thought again, fox is too big, changed into cat, but it seems cats are troublesome (in some ways), then suddenly a new idea flash through my head (Are you New-Type?), cats→mongoose→weasel→ferret, then the first generation ferret was born. (Connect to the previous mention about L1A1, looks like originally FAL has got pink hair.)
  After a bit time found out that the result feels kinda weird, so the ferret was reworked and became the current 2nd generation ferret fal. 

Personality

According to official Fanbook <THE ART OF GIRLS'FRONTLINE UNTIL THE STARS>:

  Being very proud of her origination, Words and deeds are arrogant, claims that she has an excellent tastes on fashion and the fact is opposite. However due to her experience and ability, no one wants to point that out. 

And from the interview of GF Tieba, FAL likes to choose and pair clothes for Commander, she is also a fan of chocolate taste food, that could be the reason that she has a good relationship with ^AR FNCFNC .

From the story of Chapter 6 Midnight, FAL is very good at calculating and considering the situation as a whole, she would even sacrifice her if needed. Though to the outsider FAL is very cold blooded and sends her teammates’ death, but it is all under her calculation. And ^HG Five-seveNFive-seveN  is also the only one that understand that, though she always say that they can’t get along with each other.

• Main Story

FAL first appear in Chapter 6 Midnight, where she was assigned to lead Team FN with Five-seveN to investigate the missing T-Doll incident in Sector S08. FAL sends ^RF FN-49FN-49  and FNC to lure Achemist, but new intel from ^AR T91T91  comes in later and inform FAL that Alchemist only took the bait of elite T-Doll. She then told Five-seveN the next step and sends her out. However the true purpose of FAL is to send everyone out and leaves her alone to meet SF Boss unit Alchemist in the base.

"Now...Do you like shoes, FAL?"

"... You are asking the right person, Alchemist."

• Operation Rabbit Hunting

Operation Rabbit Hunting connects soon after Chapter 6 Midnight, and Team FN leads the story and FAL once again uses her decoy method to lure the enemy units to show up.

"Since 'the Rabbit' won't come out of the nest,...only thing we can do is to deliver 'Carrots' to her."
