Kind of looks like a cross between an FAL and an H&K, Im kind of stumped. More of a FAL knock off????

After WW2, a significant number of German weapons designers/engineers who had worked on the StG44 decided to leave the country and move to then still fascist Spain. There, they were hired by CETME and put to work at refining their unfinished StG45 design – this eventually turned into the rifle you see there.

When it became clear that Germany was not going to be destroyed by the victorious Allies, and the Bundeswehr was founded, most of these guys moved back to Germany and founded H&K – the G3 is a refinement of the CETME.

And the rifles in those pictures are actually G3s, still used by some parts of the Pakistani army.

The Bundeswehr only decided to buy the G3 after FN wouldn't give them a license to build FALs in Germany (imagine that.)

First of all, women are allowed to run but only a ltitle wants to. Second, The “encierro” is at 8 am, the are two kind of people ,dunk ones that are sleeping at that time and the runners. Police take care that anyone drunk get out of the race, the runners take care that u.s drunk people get out of the race because several u.s people died running against the bulls, its not a game. There are some rules, you cant touch the bulls, never taunt them from behind and if you do that stupid things there are some cowboys -or ranchers and dont know how to translate that- , who hit you hard with a long cane if you do something dangerous. That brown bulls are castrated ones that arent so dangerous, that “mansos” runs whit the six bulls and help them to drive quickly to the “plaza”. sorry my english, inst my mother language.

If it fires when you pull the trigger and it's fairly accurate then I guess that's fine
