Assault rifle from France FAMAS (the assault rifle developed by the MAS weapons enterprise in Saint-tienne) is a 5.56-mm French automat with a bullpup layout. The unofficial name is cleron(fr. "horn"). The development of a new weapon for a low-impulse cartridge began in France in 1967 by Paul Thelye and Alain Kube, and in August 1970 the choice was made in favor of the cartridge 5.56 45 mm M193. The weapon was designed with the expectation of simultaneously replacing ...the 9-mm submachine gun MAT-49 and the 7.5-mm self-loading rifle MAS 49/56 (and in part also the MAC machine gun Mle.1929, for which the following characteristics were required ~ 300 m, the possibility of firing rifle grenades, ease of shooting with both hands. Advantages of FAMAS Compactness; High accuracy of the battle; The possibility of a fairly rapid modification of the machine for firing from both the right and the left shoulder; The possibility of using rifle grenades, high-explosive and cumulative (maintaining both mounted fire and direct fire); A rather comfortable, ergonomic handle, removable bipod, which has a positive effect on the accuracy of the fight; Removable trigger mechanism in a sturdy plastic case, a wide range of firing modes. Switchable from "queue / single" to "three / single queue"; Rubber butt pad; The reloading handle is located vertically, accessible to both hands, does not stand for the dimensions of the weapon; The high rate of fire, with a relatively small loss of accuracy; The belt for carrying this weapon can be used as a 3-point, without additional modification; Completely composite weapon body; Very reliable construction. Disadvantages In the F1 version, it is possible to insert a 25-charge magazine in the back; The sight has only two pillars per 100 m and 300 m; When shooting one type of rifle grenades, a blank cartridge is used as an expelling charge, in another type of grenades - a combat cartridge. If confused, a grenade may burst right on the trunk; large recoil when shooting a rifle grenade, in the case of direct fire; Relatively small store volume in F1; @codeofwar @codeofwar
