I Also got another explanatin from another guy....
so is that IMI galil or FAL?
The proper name is: Fusil Automatique Leger which translates to light automatic rifle. The rifle is sometimes called "the right arm of the free world". Not sure how much more famous a rifle can get...
Perhaps AK's and M16's are more ingrained in the American psyche, but this is twice the rifle they'll ever be. It has been adopted by 70+ countries and various South American freedom-fighters and drug cartels. The true compliment to its design is that these 70 nations PAID for the FAL (10 of them bought manufacture rights), where as M16's and AKs were typically given away by the US and USSR respectively.
The FAL is gas operated with a op-rod to cycle the bolt, unlike its biggest competitor the Heckler&Koch G3 which uses a roller locked delayed blow-back design. Both are very robust and incredibly fun to shoot. I highly suggest trying it out. Head over here for more info:

I own a G3 variant and plan on getting an FAL soon.
As for famous in another context? hmm. I think I saw it used in the movie Heat by Val Kilmer's character. But hollywierd's fiction doesnt hold a candle to the real thing.
whew! thanks!
that was quick!
Could you explain the answer a little more...
What does arthu have with "hello dave".

{ i do know satellite was arthurs idea...)

What do these really mean?
HAL from 2001 and the ISS, or both are from the year 2001, IIRC
Could you elaborate on the short forms....(the only thing i know is the intl space station - ISS).
Also the spider has a resemblence to humam face in the abodomen - not hour glass..
You could consider posting as AC - I dont want to your karma to be burnt!

2.Identify this brand of gun more famous in another context.
Is it Fusil Automatique Leger (fabrique nationale ) or is it
an IMI Galil, the Jewish makeover of the AK-47 (No, really, Jewish... as in Israel)?

2.Identify this brand of gun more famous in another context.
3.RElated to the world of automobiles.What is this lady's claim to fame.
4. This spider is named for the unique marking on its rear segment which is shown in the picture. So, who is it named after? (Cryptic clue- Think of a nice sobriquet for Thomas Alva Edison's mom, though they may be more than one.)
