The reason I would choose a Galil over FAL or G3 type weapons is I prefer a similar manual of arms between my weapons. My primary long arms are ARs and AKs, an AR works like and AR whether it is 5.55 or 7.62, the M1A/M14 and Galil both operation like an AK.
I've seen people rip up with an AK then switch to a FAL and totally choke running the FAL because the operation is different and they would grab for the operating rod on the wrong side, never had a problem switching between my AK and M1A.
That's exactly why I went with an AR308 - so the battery of arms is the same as my AR-15's. It's not just myself I'm thinking about but others I may have to train. I also appreciate that it's a system rifle so I can service it with the same tools as my AR-15's and can do all my own repairs.
