The FAMAS is ugly

I know I like space guns, I know I have poor taste in weapon design but even this did not sit well in my mouth:



I thought, cool, a custom FAMAS but boy it certainly is fugly... Maybe loose the launcher and a few of the side rails and it would look better... I don't know...

it's a bull pup, shorter is the whole idea.

not to much custom work
paintjob
simple rails
launcher

Yeah, and that little change made it pretty ugly, give me an AUG anyday. At least rails on an AUG look good!

where is the fire selector and safety on this?

From wiki:
Fire rate is controlled by the selector just forward of the trigger. The selector has three settings: safe, single shot, and fully automatic fire. Another selector allowing for a three-shot burst of fire (rafale) is located under the housing and behind the magazine.

Kind of hard to see. I wonder how the airsoft version works... You will have to get one ordered in sometime.

Yeah... you are right... Still, I would love to handle it one of these days... I wonder why no other major producer has ever made a new one, I would imagine that a G&P/G, Star, or CA one would be decent.

Apparently, the CA AUG fibre composite really is nice compared to the TM plastic. You don't have body problems with the TM AUG though do you?

could have sworn I saw another maker going for the Famas but my redwolf search proves me wrong. I just wish that TM would start making support guns...

I wish TM would make an L85.

amen....

uhhh you realize that we know the guy who owns this right?

Ugly gun. I concur with Smith. I'd love an L85.

I'm currently the owner of this gun. LoL!!!

I accept that you say that is ugly with humility... But... you have to handle a FAMAS during a whole game to understand what it's the whole concept of this gun. Very manoeuvrable and comfortable balanced weight (with battery of course). More than any bullups that i've tried (Even Augs). Also, The TM FAMAS have a legendary reliability when you leave it stock. This model is the first TM ever, and you can see FAMAS that have near 15 years old and still shooting plastic.

FYI-On a TM FAMAS, the selector is located at the bottom back of the gun, like you can see in my pic. The front selector just act as a second safety and will unlock the battery compartment when you drive it all the way forward.

No Harm guy!

Awhh! Busted, I knew you would be around eventually

Heh heh, I am just as guilty with making guns that nobody likes:


I must admit though, that is a heck of a deal there for anyone verified here, (now that I am busted), here is the link on ASC sales:

(Thanks for being a good sport Sentinel )

I secretly love the FAMAS.

I've been watching too many shows about the FFL lately, and it's one of my favorite guns in RB6 Vegas.

Well, G&G is suppose to release one for 2008. That one will be made of waaaay better composite materials, but hard to say what they will do with the internals (The G&G L85 internals are supposed to be causing issues).

Other guns that are supposed to be released in 2008 by G&G:
FN2000
RK95
Micro Gali
AUGA3
