* San Magnolia's use of FN FAL-like battle rifles as their standard issue shows how utterly unprepared for war they are: battle rifles use full-powered cartridges, making them powerful but extremely hard to control in automatic fire, a factor that in real life led to the US and allies developing and adopting less powerful but more controllable assault rifles as soon as they were actually used in combat. While battle rifles still have their uses, armies with actual combat experience tend to replace them in general use, as Giad did here... But San Magnolia still uses battle rifles years after the start of the war with the Legion.
