The **Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne (FAMAS) F1**, known in-game simply as the **FAMAS**, is a bullpup burst Assault Rifle that uses the 5.56mm Ammunition. It is one of the four weapons to have the burst fire mode, the others being the UMP9, AN-94, and the M93R. It had roughly the same DPS as the M416, but deals more damage per magazine and is almost four times as accurate.

## Rarity

Compared with guns such as the AK-47 or MP220, it is slightly more common to find and obtain through regular crates, buildings, and on the battlefield, though its high outburst damage makes it much rarer than finding a pistol or other less powerful rifles.

## Strategies

### Using

* If you can come across enough 5.56mm (green) ammo, then this can be a reliable gun as long as you land your shots, as the burst fire does an enormous amount of damage. The magazine size (425 damage per magazine) is also quite desirable.
* If you do use this gun, use it similarly to the UMP9 as the stats are similar, but stronger.
* You can kill an unarmored person with just 2 bursts of fire (6 shots), so as long as you can aim, you can kill an enemy very easily early-game.
* Pair this weapon with a gun that can deal damage against enemies in the open. like an LMG, Carbine or Fletchette (good choices include the QBB-97, SCAR-H and SPAS-12), and give it a good scope. You will prosper (if you can land the shots). Alternately, use a CQB weapon (such as the MAC-10, MP5 or a buckshot shotgun) to counter people from rushing you.
* This gun pairs well with a 15x Scope due to its accuracy and high damage (even at range). If you have both, it is best to stand still and shoot people faraway.

### Countering

* The FAMAS can kill you in two quick bursts if you have no armor, meaning that getting in front of it is a bad idea. If you are fighting a FAMAS user, hide behind an obstacle, and when the 3 bursts come out, attack while dodging. The bursts are so easy to dodge since there is a delay between each burst, which can be fatal for the player if they miss. The counter for the FAMAS is similar to the UMP9 and the AN-94 since they're all burst guns.
* Use a high DPS gun in close-range like Shotguns and SMGs.
* Use adrenaline items to run faster.
* DMRs and sniper rifles will deal more damage at long range and they will have faster bullet speed, making it easy to harass enemies who use the FAMAS. Moreover, the FAMAS user won't be able to do much to you because the FAMAS's bullets don't move very quickly and also get affected by falloff.

## Trivia

* The icon for the FAMAS is based on the F1 model, indicated by its small trigger guard (as opposed to the G2 model's large trigger guard that engulfs the whole hand of the user) as well as its use of its proprietary 25-round box magazines, whose capacity is correctly reflected in-game.
* The real-life FAMAS actually does have a 3-round burst setting, unlike the real-life UMP9. It is also capable of full-auto fire.
* It is the first bullpup style weapon to be added in surviv.io.
* It is also known as "the bugle".
