The Fusil automático Bogotá (FaB 556)[citation needed] is an automatic rifle of Colombian origin that was found in Bogotá, hence the name.[1][2][3] Only one example has been known to exist.
Overview[edit]
The Fusil automático Bogotá is a 5.56×45mm NATO calibre automatic rifle fed from 30-round STANAG magazines.[citation needed] It uses a form of simple blowback operation with the opening delayed by a heavy bolt as a substitute for a locked breech, To ease the gas pressure, the weapon comes with a carbine length barrel.[citation needed] The receiver of the Fusil automático Bogotá is a round section receiver made from a large tube to house the telescoping bolt covering the whole barrel. The barrel is held in a trunnion at the front of the receiver acting as the muzzle. The cocking handle is on the right side angled upwards.[citation needed] Sights are copied to an extent from the M16 as well as its fixed tube stock. The weapon fires from an open bolt in full automatic only.[citation needed]
