The Cetme uses a roller locking action instead of the locking block action of the FAL. The Cetme also has flutes cut into the chamber to help slow down the case extraction. The good news it that it seems to work pretty well, the bad news is that it marks up the brass if you reload. The Cetme was designed for the Spanish Army by the same guy that did the STG44 and STG45 for the German army a few years earlier. The HK91 uses the same action as the Cetme but came along a few years later. The Cetme uses the same mags as the HK91 although the original all steel Cetme mags are sturdier than the HK aluminum mags.
