Original version of the FAMAS rifle. Can be distinguished by its smaller trigger guard, ribbed barrel, and its straight, 25-round French service magazine.

The FAMAS F1 is the original version of the FAMAS rifle, and the standard service rifle of the French Army. The F1 can be distinguished by its smaller trigger guard, ribbed barrel, and its straight, 25-round French service magazine.

Trivia: The FAMAS F1 is often said to have issues with brass-cased 5.56x45mm ammo that other NATO countries use. While the F1 was initially used with steel-cased ammunition (the original F1, F2, and F3 cartridges), this was simply as a matter of cost; the actual compatibility issues came from the bullet weight, with the French cartridges using the same 55-grain bullets as original US-issued M193 ammo, as opposed to the 62-grain SS190 bullet that would later be standardized by NATO. France would later acquire some brass-cased 55-grain ammo following the closure of its domestic ammunition plants; some of this ammo had QC issues, leading to the extraction issues that would later become erroneously associated with brass-cased ammunition in general.

Current version of the FAMAS rifle, standard rifle for the French Navy (the French Army still uses the FAMAS F1 as the their main service rifle). The G1 (which never saw widespread production) can be distinguished by its enlarged trigger-guard, an improved foregrip, but uses the original F1 magazine well and straight 25-round magazines, while the production G2 utilizes the G1's improved trigger guard and foregrip, It has a redesigned magazine well for the use of NATO [[STANAG|STANAG magazines]]. The barrel of the G2 was changed to a 1:9 inch rifling twist from the original F1's 1:12 inch rifling twist to allow the G2 to utilize a wider range of NATO 5.56 ammunition, such as the older 55 gr M193 type ammo and the newer 62 gr SS109 type ammo. They can be seen with both smooth barrels and ribbed rifle grenade firing barrels.

The FAMAS G1 is an intermediate version of the FAMAS between the FAMAS F1 and the FAMAS G2. It can be distinguished by having the magazine well of the F1 and using its straight 25-round magazines, but also having a new enlarged trigger guard that is also used on the G2. The G1 did not see widespread production.

The FAMAS G2 is the current version of the FAMAS rifle. It is the standard rifle for the French Navy; the French Army still used the FAMAS F1 as the their main service rifle prior to transitioning to the [[Heckler & Koch HK416F]]. The G2 uses the G1's improved trigger guard and forend, but has a redesigned magazine well for the use of NATO [[STANAG|STANAG magazines]]. The barrel of the G2 was changed to a 1:9 inch rifling twist from the original F1's 1:12 inch rifling twist to allow the G2 to utilize a wider range of NATO 5.56 ammunition, such as the older 55 gr M193 type ammo and the newer 62 gr SS109 type ammo.

The '''FAMAS FÉLIN''' is a variant of the FAMAS outfitted to be used in conjunction with the FÉLIN combat system. The most notable difference is the replacement of the integral carry handle with a lower profile scope mount for mounting optics, which when used as part of the FÉLIN system would mount a large day/night/thermal video sight capable of transmitting the feed to the soldier's helmet mounted eyepiece. The final production version of the FÉLIN features a forward vertical grip which houses the controls for the system, and has lengthened and bent bipod legs.

Also intended for use alongside the FAMAS FÉLIN is the '''FAMAS Valorisé''' (meaning "upgraded"). This variant was intended for use in FÉLIN equipped units for use by soldiers not requiring the actual full FÉLIN combat system. As such, this variant has the same low profile sight rail and new bipod, but omits the second grip and was intended to be fitted with a 4x optical day sight as standard. In the past variants of the FAMAS with a low profile scope rail have been referred to as the '''FAMAS Surbaissé''' (meaning "lowered" in reference to the scope mount), however promotional material from the manufacturer GIAT states that the FAMAS Surbaissé is the core weapon (or possibly just component) on which the FÉLIN and Valorisé rifle variants are based.

Latest revision as of 02:03, 26 March 2024

The FAMAS rifle can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:

FAMAS F1

FAMAS F1 - 5.56x45mm NATO
FAMAS F1 with the rifle grenade support ring pushed to mid barrel - 5.56x45mm NATO

The FAMAS F1 is the original version of the FAMAS rifle, and the standard service rifle of the French Army. The F1 can be distinguished by its smaller trigger guard, ribbed barrel, and its straight, 25-round French service magazine.

Trivia: The FAMAS F1 is often said to have issues with brass-cased 5.56x45mm ammo that other NATO countries use. While the F1 was initially used with steel-cased ammunition (the original F1, F2, and F3 cartridges), this was simply as a matter of cost; the actual compatibility issues came from the bullet weight, with the French cartridges using the same 55-grain bullets as original US-issued M193 ammo, as opposed to the 62-grain SS190 bullet that would later be standardized by NATO. France would later acquire some brass-cased 55-grain ammo following the closure of its domestic ammunition plants; some of this ammo had QC issues, leading to the extraction issues that would later become erroneously associated with brass-cased ammunition in general.

FAMAS G1

FAMAS G1 - 5.56x45mm

The FAMAS G1 is an intermediate version of the FAMAS between the FAMAS F1 and the FAMAS G2. It can be distinguished by having the magazine well of the F1 and using its straight 25-round magazines, but also having a new enlarged trigger guard that is also used on the G2. The G1 did not see widespread production.

FAMAS G2

FAMAS G2 with proprietary bipod deployed - 5.56x45mm

The FAMAS G2 is the current version of the FAMAS rifle. It is the standard rifle for the French Navy; the French Army still used the FAMAS F1 as the their main service rifle prior to transitioning to the Heckler & Koch HK416F. The G2 uses the G1's improved trigger guard and forend, but has a redesigned magazine well for the use of NATO STANAG magazines. The barrel of the G2 was changed to a 1:9 inch rifling twist from the original F1's 1:12 inch rifling twist to allow the G2 to utilize a wider range of NATO 5.56 ammunition, such as the older 55 gr M193 type ammo and the newer 62 gr SS109 type ammo. They can be seen with both smooth barrels and ribbed rifle grenade firing barrels.
