2. Not quite true
The FAL fires a .308 round, not a .223, which is more destructive, particularly if non FMJ rounds are being used.
This is not a minor detail. A .308 (7.62 NATO, the round the M-14 uses) is vastly more destructive.
The tradeoffs are much more recoil and an infantryman can carry far fewer rounds due to weight.
six rounds a second...100 minute.
Sixty centimeters in a meter.
