 To replace the German Mauser Kar 98k and some British Lee–Enfield rifles, the IDF decided in the same year to adopt the FN FAL as its standard-issue infantry rifle, under the name "Rov've Mitta'enn" or "Romat" (רומ"ט), an abbreviation of "Self-Loading Rifle".The FAL version ordered by the IDF came in two basic variants, both regular and heavy-barrel (automatic rifle), and were chambered for 7.62mm NATO ammunition.In common with heavy-barrel FALs used by several other nations, the Israeli 'heavy barrel' FAL (called the "Makle'a Kal", or "Makleon") was found to frequently experience a failure to feed after firing two rounds from a full magazine when in automatic mode.
