FAMAS

The FAMAS (Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne)is a French assault rifle that is currently available in the shop for 15,000 Credits. It boasts very high fire rate, high damage per second, good stability and good range. Although it deals little damage per hit, it has the third-highest RPM out of all the weapons in Bullet Force. It is one of the most used weapons due to its high damage per second and cheap price.

## Appearance

It is a Félin variant of the FAMAS, with an all-black, medium-sized bullpup assault rifle with a carrying handle (smaller than what a usual FAMAS has) on top. It has a medium-sized straight magazine, which is also unusual for a FAMAS (they usually have curved magazines that store more rounds). It is also equipped with an unusable bipod.

In Gun Game, this gun has a ACOG and Red Laser sight equipped.

## Pros

* Great accuracy.
* Great stability.
* Highest DPS of any assault rifle
* Somewhat low spread.
* Good range.
* Super cheap, at 15,000 credits, making it the cheapest purchasable gun in the game.
* (Style Points) Cool reload animation.

## Cons

* Small magazine capacity compared to other Assault Rifles, which gets depleted fast due to high fire rate (every 1.6s).
* Low damage-per-shot.
* High recoil which makes it annoying to use in long-range gunfights.
* Slightly cumbersome iron sights. However, this can be solved by using a cheap optic sight, like the Red Dot.
* Crazy recoil makes it almost unusable with an ACOG.

## Suggested Perk and Attachment setups

* Due to the small magazine size, the Extended Perk comes in handy.
* Optimize perk increases reload speed.
* The Quick Draw perk is also helpful because if you miss the shots people tend to come closer and attack.
* Muzzle brake reduces recoil, making it even more stable.
* A Suppressor to sneak up on enemies is useful, but it's more recommended to use the Muzzle Brake to make recoil more manageable.
* Any sight other than iron sights (difficult to use) or ACOG (too much zoom). A Coyote sight is best (or you could use an RDS if you are super thrifty)
* Laser sights (a red laser is enough, but you may use a brighter Green Laser sight if you like) to assist in hip-firing.

## Tips

* This is best used for a fast moving support/scout player. this weapon is very cheap, and has a high rate of fire. It's good good for cutting down single targets and stopping players from reaching a base/checkpoint/or any type of chokepoint.
* It is OK for a medium-to-long range assault load-out but an M4A1 or ACR would be more suited due to their less frequent need for reloads, less recoil and better damage. The extended perk is essential in almost all situations, because you will be overrun by enemies and will run out of ammo fast.
* Shoot people even when they are running away as the large number of bullets would deal a great amount of damage and give an easy assist in team matches. If you are lucky, your assist will count as a kill.
* Aim for the neck or upper chest, the recoil makes for some easy headshots at medium (not long though) range.
* High fire rate means that this is good for clearing out campers.

## Trivia

* This, along with the MP412-REX, is the second cheapest weapon available in the primary weapons shop, with the cheapest being the M4A1 and Compact .45 (both of them are free!).
* It is very commonly seen with all kinds of players (usually low to mid-rank) due to its cheap price.
* Real-life versions have either 25 or 30 round mags, not 27 round ones.
* The variant used in the game is actually the FAMAS G2 Felin. Its an updated version where the iconic carry handle was removed for a more low profile picatinny rail. The charging handle was also redesigned and turned to the side. The front of the gun also features a small rail for flash lights and peq boxes, and the bipod was redesigned as well.
