FAMAS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The FAMAS is the standard assault rifle of the French military. The FAMAS assault rifle is of bullpup configuration and allows for ambidextrous usage. The G2 is designed to accommodate the STANAG magazine as used by the M16, and also has a full length handguard to allow easy use with gloves. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/FA_MAS

PlayStation 2: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty The FAMAS G2 is the standard automatic rifle used by the French military, a bullpup-style (magazine aft of the trigger) rifle chambering a.223 cartridge with a 25-round magazine capacity. FAMAS stands for "Fusil Automatique, Manufacture d'Armes de St. Etienne"; it's French for "Automatic Rifle, St. Etienne Arms Manufacturer," since French company GIAT produces it at their armory in St. Etienne. You can't pick it up in the demo, but the trailer movies indicate that Snake will eventually get hold of another FAMAS automatic rifle, the same one he used in the first game. ps2.ign.com /articles/134/134538p1.html

Ghost Recon.net Forums > FAMAS It's basically the Famas G2 but with the 25 round Famas mag (Famas G2's have the 30 round M16 style mags, Famas F1's have the 25 round clip). Famas is an awesome assault rifle....especially if you stick an M203 and a rifle grenade on it....hehehehe I got pics of the Famas with an attached rifle grenade too.... www.ghostrecon.net /forums/lofiversion/index.php/t15506.html

FAMAS The FAMAS rifle has two fire selector switches: the main selector ahead of the trigger selects between safe, semi-automatic and automatic; another located behind the magazine well switches the automatic mode between full and three-round burst. ll upgraded FAMAS rifles include a barrel with 1/9" rifling twist and a new "deviation correcting" bipod. Other variants of the FAMAS G2 include a "commando" variant, with a shortened 15.9" (405mm) barrel; a "submachine gun" variant with a shortened receiver, forward grip and 12.5" (320mm) barrel; and a "sniper" variant with 24.4" (620mm) heavy barrel. matrix.dumpshock.com /raygun/firearms/assault/famas.html

Fa Mas [Archive] - BeyondUnreal Forums You can't use the FAMAS F1 mount on a G2 because of the lip at the end of the lower receiver(not to mention the mounting slot beneath the handguard has been redesigned.) I always thought the grenade was propelled BY the rifle...oops, on second thought, there's no way a teeny little rifle cartridge has enough power to propel a bigass grenade like that. 6th Mar 2002, 09:14 AM Yes, although the G2 version has a "lip" on the front which normally prevents of a M203. forums.beyondunreal.com /archive/index.php/t-107344

MacGamer - Get In The Game The old FAMAS G2 rifle was starting to show its age, at least when you compare it to some of our more recent models, so our team jumped at the chance to update it. The new FAMAS G2 Assault Rifle was modeled by MINION, skinned by SixShooter, and animated and exported by warflyr. In addition, Shag has also added a single shot and burst fire modes, and has also increased its rate of fire. www.macgamer.com /news/item.php?id=2247

Modern Firearms - FAMAS Assault Rifle FAMAS is one of the relatively rare systems that uses a lever delayed blowback action, borrowed from the French AAT-52 machine gun, but originally invented by the Hungarian designer Paul de Kiraly prior to the Second World War, and improved by the Paul Tellie for the FAMAS rifle. FAMAS rifle was adopted by the French in 1978 and since then became a standard French Army shoulder fired small arm, known among the French soldiers as "Le Clairon" (the bulge). The FAMAS rifles seen some action during the operation "Desert Storm" in Kuwait in 1991, as well as in some peace-keeping operations in the mid and late 1990s, and proved itself as a reliable and trustworthy weapons. www.world.guns.ru /assault/as21-e.htm

The Platoon - Famas G2 tips! Sure the ret might bloom out after a second or two, but in that second or two the FAMAS has pushed out 25% more rounds accurately at your target then you would've gotten out of any other assault rifle. The recoil on the FAMAS is not as bad as you may think. The FAMAS is extremely accurate for a gun that fires 950+ rounds per minute. forums.theplatoon.com /topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=20649

Weapons SMGs (en) As far as I used, there are special muzzle grenades to use withe the FAMAS. This gun is just a normal assault rifle so you can get as many accessories as you get for any other wepaon (like silencers, scopes, grenade launchers etc). The G2 is more different as it uses the standard STANAG clips and so it has 30 rounds available, the F1 and F2 only had 25 rounds. www.levelrating.com /weapons/63.aspx

MSG-90: Used by the German Army, the MSG-90 is a powerful sniper platform based on the battle proven G3. www.xboximpact.com /article54.html

French Famas History in Gun's World The FAMAS has been designed to be fired from either shoulder by a few simple adjustments. The Blue Prints of the weapon describes it as being able to replace the rifle, the submachine gun, be precise up to 300m and to be able to launch a 500 grams grenade. Around 300.000 FAMAS have been delivered to French Army to equip the infantry and some other troups as the Air Commandos. www.gunsworld.com /french/famas_hist_us.html

FAMAS, good or bad? - Topic Powered by Infopop I usually split the usage of the Famas scoped with the G36k silenced for the accuracy and SD. I was debating this topic withanother person and he said that the famas was the hardest gun in the game to handle. The other thing that annoys me the most is the fact that the FAMAS is the weapon of choice for cheaters due to its high power, accuracy and recoil. forums.ubi.com /eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/327107011/m/5271009103

Firearms Forums - Standard Automatic Rifle Guide: Updated + Demo attachment The FAMAS is fine for shooting out of windows or at distant advancing enemies, but outdoors at medium range it cannot compete with other more conventional rifles. The FAMAS G2 is odd in more ways than just its appearance. However, the FA-MAS modeled in FA is the G2 version, which uses the 30-round, curved STANAG magazines (ingame they're only loaded with 25 bullets), and fires at 1000-1100 RPM (in reality; ingame it's closer to 900 or 950RPM). forums.firearmsmod.com /showthread.php?t=72821

Weapons Acquired - Hostile Intent Community Forums The famas is an assault rifle, not a carbine. The only real downside of the FAMAS (apart from the short distance between front and back sight) is that you have to configure it to be used either on right or left shoulder, but you can't switch during battle. On the other hand, if you want to get to know what it felt like for the devs when the fiveseven was added to CS (all the coding for a gun, that no one ever uses) then go right ahead. forums.hostileintent.org /index.php?showtopic=16439

FAMAS Acog & iron sights ? [Archive] - BeyondUnreal Forums The only hole I've seen in the FAMAS carry handle is on one the side of it, and I've got no idea why it's there. As it exists in game, the ACOG lays smack bang in the middle of the LOS for the iron sights, meaning the only decent rifle around where you get a scope AND iron sights at the same time is still the immortal AK family. I wouldn't be suprised if it would also work on a FAMAS. forums.beyondunreal.com /archive/index.php/t-123561

AA :: Index Bull pups like the G2 mean for the same barrel length you get a considerably shorter rifle than your conventional M16 style configuration. The G2 utilises a STANAG feed (like the HandK G41, G36, M16, L85A1/2, F2000, IMI Tavor 2, X8M, blah blah blah) and is compatible any magazine meeting the NATO Standardisation Agreement (STANAG).
