Fa Mas

[troung]

So what do you guys think of the FA MAS?

I know we have a lot of gun experts here but then of course we probably have even more people who dislike the French :roll .

So what do you guys think about it compared wiht other current combat rifles such as the M-16A2, M-4, AK-74, AK-47/AKM/Type 56, SA-80 and AUG?

And yes I know M21 would rather have a Kentucky..excuse me Pennsylvania rifle..........

For one thing, it is a disgusting looking rifle. A bullpup rifle too, which takes slightly longer to reload. Oh and did I mention it is BUTT ugly.

Err? I it was originally designed for the M-16A1, during the Vietnam war. I think so that grenadiers wouldn't have to carry a seperate (M-79) grenadelauncher. Since then it has appeared for every AR-15 (M-16) type rifle, including the M-16A2 :roll

oh ok i didn't know that thanks :ar15 :RW

It is a good all round and effective weapon.
According to one legioners account, you can achieve very accurate fire with that rifle from prone position because it has an undetachable bipod. So it is much more accurate than most other assault rifles in teh hands of an average soldier, from a bipod down position.

are they cheap to make cause it sounds like it would be the perfect rifle in the desert and urban fighting the the soliders are currently in. :ar15 :ar15
