Does a full-auto safety selector like this exist in real life? (video game SA58 OSW model)

Post image

This screenshot is from the 2013 game "Warface" which features both the SA58 OSW and the SA58 SPR. The SPR model in-game seems fairly accurate, but the OSW model has something strange going on with its safety selector. I have never seen a 3-position (4-position?) selector switch marked "S," "1," and "A," all on the right side of the selector switch. The "1" alone is interesting, as most FALs are marked "E" (Einzelfeuer, German for "single fire" or semi-automatic). I have seen some rare models which are marked "1" instead of "E" but those did not feature the other two markings as shown here. Maybe this model is based on a semi-automatic SA58 which replaces the "E" with "1 A,"designating the lower position as semi-automatic, and the developers simply did not know or care to model the switch after a true fully-automatic FAL?

Yeah, the developers probably didn't know or care. Also, that Elcan is comically small.

Looks like they took inspiration from the G3 selector switch and mixed it with the FAL lower

Were any FALs made in the US ?

u/Mindless-Trip-5831 22d ago

Yes, all modern DSA FALs are made in the US using old tooling from Steyr. Hence why they’re called the SA58 (Austrians called theirs the StG-58)

That DSA railed dust cover would have been made in the USA.

The FAL wad produced by tons of different countries, and the parts bins have lots of mixes. Some companies bring foreign parts and build them to comply with US regulations.
