The FNC rifle was developed between 1975 and 1977 as an affordable alternative to the M16 rifle for NATO standardization trials. It is based on the FNC 76 prototype, which itself originated from the unsuccessful FN CAL rifle. However, the FNC 76 prototype performed poorly in the NATO competition due to rushed development and was withdrawn. Indonesia became the first country to adopt the FNC, purchasing around 10,000 rifles in 1982 for its air force. The Indonesian government later granted a license to PT Pindad, an Indonesian firm, to manufacture the rifle for all branches of the armed forces. The locally-produced versions are known as the Pindad SS1 and Pindad SS2. Trials were conducted for the Swedish Armed Forces between 1981 and 1982 using updated FNC prototypes, which impressed both the Swedish military and Belgian Army staff. Sweden adopted a modified version of the FNC for domestic production in 1986, naming it the Ak 5. It continues to serve as the main service rifle for the Swedish Armed Forces. The Belgian Armed Forces adopted the FNC in 1989 as a replacement for the FN FAL, a 7.62?51mm NATO rifle. Prior to this, the FNC had been issued in small numbers to airborne infantry units. Additionally, the FNC is utilized as a service rifle by the armed forces of Tonga, a small state located in the Pacific Ocean.
