Death from above!! I voted for the paratrooper. My runner up would be the STG-58. I do not know all the in and outs of all the rifles listed, but voted with what I know. I said paratrooper because I like airborne infantry, and they usually get cool/special weapons. A folding stock and shorter barrel on a FAL is pretty sweet. The Army airborne get SAWs with short barrels and folding stocks, which makes a good weapon better. I like heavy barrels, but I think heavy barreled FALs would be to heavy for the average soldier (maybe I am just used to my H-Bar AR-15). I like the STG for the attatched bi-pod.
