FAMAS

<tabber>FAMAS F1=
The French FAMAS, commonly refered to as "Le Clairon" due its its distinct shape, was one of the first Bullpup rifles to be adopted by a major military power. The tactical advantages presented by the new intermediate 5.56mm cartridge were of great interest to the French military. The HK33 was briefly picked up and manufactured by MAS under license, but reliance on foreign weapons, in particular a German-designed weapon, was highly unpopular with French military command. Solicitation for a wholly French assault rifle eventually lead to the creation of the FAMAS, which was adopted by the French military in 1978.
The FAMAS saw heavy use during the Intervention War, where it was the main weapon used by French military units resisting German invasion.
Production of the FAMAS had ceased in 2002 with the closure of the MAS, and as time went on afterwards replacement parts for the aged rifles became increasingly expensive and difficult to procure. After the Intervention War ended, FAMAS stockpiles (approximately 400,000 F1s and 10,000-15,000 G2s) were seized by the invading German army in an effort to disarm the population. However, an estimated half of these arms managed to escape destruction and were smuggled into the hands of French resistance fighters.

|-|FAMAS G2=
In 1994, the FAMAS G2 was developed to meet NATO standards, primarily by accepting STANAG magazines and NATO-standard ammunition rather than French-spec 5.56mm. This update allowed the opportunity to incorporate a number of minor upgrades designed for the drawn up but never implemented FAMAS G1. These upgrades included an enlarged trigger guard, reinforced fiberglass handguards, and compatibility with standard NATO 5.56 and French steel-cased 5.56 ammunition, and the aforementioned conversion to using STANAG magazines.
The G2 became the infantry weapon of the French Navy, issued to the Fusiliers Marins and Commandos Marine, and as a result it has become a distinctive weapon of the French Exiles. Greater compatibility with common ammunition and magazines makes it somewhat more valuable to such groups.
