In this video, Administrative Results reviewed and ranked several Cold War era battle rifles, including the Swiss Sig PE57, the German HK91 (a civilian version of the G3), the Springfield M1A (serving as a stand-in for the M14 in a "Shoe Gart" style), and the DSA FAL. The FAL, chambered in 7.62x51 and noted for its continued widespread use, was presented in a "baby poop" camouflage. Shooting tests were conducted at a target approximately 290-300 yards away, after which the presenter shared his personal rankings. The HK91 was praised for its modularity and reliability, while the over-engineered Sig pe57 was admired for its quality and soft shooting, both earning top marks. The FAL, recognized for its historical significance, and the M1A, appreciated for its "cool vibes," were placed in the B tier.
