Again, splitting vernacular hairs--quite honestly, I'd opt for the AR10 too.
It's a heavy rifle.
Yes, and points like a black and decker drill. Gas gun? FNFAL Para. The COL liked the FAL as well.
One like mine, less scope, 8.61 lbs according to Armalite. DSA doesn't list weight of the folders, but the closest one on their site is 8.35 lbs. Of course, the AR is optics ready right now, and the FAL needs a sizable thingy for a scope mount, extra.
Now drop a 10T upper on a AR10, and yes it's heavy
