The Personal Automatic Longarm, commonly referred to by its acronym, PAL, is a select-fire rifle produced in North Ottonia and Ostrozava and used by the armed forces of both countries, first as standard service rifles, then in the battle rifle role. It is still used by paramilitary Federal Guard and Civil Guard units in North Ottonia, and is commonly issued to army reservists.
