Chosen as the standard-issue weapon by many military legions for its high reliability and accuracy, this assault rifle's bullpup design is widely recognizable.
  — Item Description 

The FAMAS is a 2-Star Bronze Grade GP-Standard French Assault Rifle that was introduced in the 11-12-08 Patch. Its name is an acronym of Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne.

Overview[]

The FAMAS is a fast firing Assault Rifle with a fire rate of 300 points and a fairly accurate accuracy of 67. Its Custom variant improves upon its damage, fire rate, accuracy, and recoil with 2 more points of damage, 9 more points of rate of fire, 7 more points of accuracy and 8 less points of recoil. The FAMAS emits a distinct 'popping' sound when fired, which alerts nearby enemy players of the FAMAS user's presence and therefore will compromise the user's position when camping and/or sniping without a suppressor. The FAMAS has a very fast spread recovery rate - when scoped in and tap-fired, the scope reticle will return to its original position at a much faster rate than a lot of other Assault Rifles.
