I know there is a anti recoil system inside de cross(stock), in the top portion. it has a spring/lever/thingy. I and 2 guys did some dissasebling and cleaning of this along with a caporal chef in the foreign legion. So i know it's there. That's why it has such a small recoil. But there's no info on the wiki page. I'll try and find some schematics. Maybe someone else can add something too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Choice777 ( talk • contribs) 09:56, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
Did someone copy the entire article from world.guns.ru? The grammatical errors and spelling seem to be the same as those soon on that site.
Yes, the G2 version uses STANAG 5.56 magazines. It also has weaver and picattiny R.A.S..
Isn't the G2 version that works with STANAG magazines? David.Monniaux 11:42, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
What is meant by "Famas G2 is only used by French marine.": marine = "Marine Nationale" (thus French Navy) or the marine troops (marine infantry etc.)? David.Monniaux 11:16, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I have seen criticism of the FAMAS by those who say it was rejected by the French Foreign Legion, which prefers the US M-16. Is this true and if so why? LeoO3 04:36, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
"The FAMAS assault rifle is of bullpup configuration and allows for ambidextrous usage." The bullpup page claims that bullpup designs can't, or usually can't be used ambidextrously because of the side casing ejection. Can someone clarify why this one can? Archtemplar 23:02, 20 December 2005 (UTC)Archtemplar
ok, you seem to know what you're talking about, but it's still unclear on the page. i think some sort of amendment to one of the pages should be made to clarify why this one is different from "most" bullpup designs. Archtemplar 07:00, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
Wasn't there/isn't there a semi-auto-only variant? There was also a .222 Remington model to, if I recall.
Those seem to be very rare thou. Mentioned here http://www.waffenhq.de/infanterie/famas.html "ein halbautomatisches Modell im Kaliber .222 Remington für den zivilen Markt." and Ive seen on in .223 in some swiss gunshop. Probably .222 was for civilian sale in France, where military calibers are forbidden for the civilians and .223 for the export.-- 81.197.218.62 18:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Does an 9mm variant exist? The photo in the article has a strange looking magazine well.
Has there/Will there ever be a FAMAS using the 7.62 NATO calibre round?, Just asking becouse there has never been a 7.62 NATO Bullpup rifle. I was thinking it would make a great sniper weapon. User: EX STAB 28 March 2007.
I know there is the AWC Bullpup but it is just a bullpup stock conversion for an M14.
What is the thing in front of the Carging handle on the FAMAS. -- DanMP5 03:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
ignoring my obvious spelling error in the title, shoudl rifle really be capitalized? almost any other articals dont have it like this artical. just wondering what you guys think( ForeverDEAD 23:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC))
Can we have a list of variants please? Ryan4314 ( talk) 10:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Please do not remove the otheruses tag in this article. The award giving body is also known as FAMAS in the Philippines. -- Jojit ( talk) 05:18, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Two questions, how many people actually look up Filipino Academy of Movie Arts and Sciences on English Wikipedia? And out of all of those, how many do suppose type in FAMAS, expecting to get the Academy's article? I can answer with confidence that the answer to bot is "very few". So, why is the disambiguation link necessary?-- LWF ( talk) 01:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

BonesBrigade, you clearly did not read my full post: "FAMAS Awards" yields twice as many google results as "FAMAS Rifle". Anonymous user, the cartoon character is unlikely to be confused with the animal, the FAMAS articles however share an identical acronym. Your argument is a type of informal fallacy known as false analogy: you propose a relationship between the two sets articles and falsely conclude that they must share other properties. — Deon Steyn ( talk) 22:56, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it odd that such a fine weapon has not seen more exports? I thought that former Francophone countries would have adopted it. Is the French government not advocating its sale, or is the world market just too flooded with AKs? Antarctica moon ( talk) 07:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I saw FAMAS in the hands of a Sri Lankan soldier (probably a commando) in a CNN-IBN video. Can someone confirm ??
It's not FAMAS. Sri Lankan soldier was holding a Chinese QBZ 97. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.45.101 ( talk) 06:23, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

There's some ambiguity with the rifling. It states that because of 1:12 rifling it (F1) can only use French made SS109. But optimal rifling for SS109 is 1:7. 1:12 is optimal for M193. Does anybody know anything about this? Grizzly chipmunk ( talk) 14:20, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
For anyone interested, there is currently discussion of the relevance of Pop Culture, trivia, and content that relates to fictional uses of firearms such as this going on. One is at the Firearms Project, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Firearms#.22Popular_culture.22, and at the Video Game Project, Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games#Video_game_references_in_firearms_articles. It's likely that the result will be the deletion of sections like this across many articles. -- Scalhotrod (Talk) ☮ღ☺ 06:53, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
I removed all the unsubstantiated and un- or poorly-sourced comments on the rifle's unreliability, and all rumor, then updated the section to be provable and recent facts on target with the section title. Hope this works for everyone. Shoobe01 ( talk) 19:00, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Taking the fact that Forgotten Weapons writes it as FA-MAS as justification to do so in turn is grossly WP:UNDUE, when it is in contradiction to the overwhelming majority of sources already used in this article. When 30 to 40-something other sources are in contradiction with one, that is usually a good indication that the singular source may not be ideal for this particular claim, especially when its author later backpedalled on using the hyphen altogether. Loafiewa ( talk) 20:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
Why are there two pictures in the lead section of this article of soldiers carrying weapons other than the FA MAS in an article exclusively about the FA MAS.
