I'm an American who served 5 yrs in the French Foreign Legion (full disclosure, I was a tuba player in the band, not kicking in doors in Afghanistan. But, I still got a lot of trigger time with the F1). We were trained first to disengage the safety to semi-auto in a quick, fluid motion with the left (non-dominant) hand. It can be done very quickly with training. To disengage the safety with the same motion as pulling the trigger (right hand) was taught to us as an "Oh Merde!! Les bad guys!!!" response. I love this gun. Wish they were easier to find in the US.

I have read that they mostly clean and do janitorial type shit with little shooting. What is your opinion on this? I also read that most of the volunteers are from third world countries but not all, so Westerners have it tougher because the FFL is like a 3rd world army. But what I really want to know is would you recommend the FFL to other Americans? Ohh and did you get your french citizen ship after the first 5 years?

The FFL is just like any other infantry regiment, but with more restrictions/luxuries afforded to the regular french military. All infantry (even the us military) enlisted will have duties not related to combat or training. These can include tasks you mentioned. It is true there is a large amount of members from 3rd world countries. I wouldn’t agree that it is a 3rd world army though. It’s a bad existence, but if the FFL is what you want, go for it.

It was not totally replaced by the FAMAS G2 (and not F2), only the French marine uses the G2. Now it's supposed to be replaced by the HK 416, but all the soldiers I see are still carrying the F1.

True fact: All FAMAS rifles are made from repurposed knightly weapons and armor, and imbued with the souls of French Knights of medieval provenance so that these weapons and warriors may still serve their nation. French generals upon promotion are given a sidearm made from the weapons of Gauls who opposed the Romans in battle. Many Free French units in WWII likewise used such weapons when fighting the Italians. Look it up, it's true, and it's why the FAMAS sounds like an unsheathing sword every time it's fired.

Thanks Larry for your review. As a French military officer and shooting instructor I'm very happy to see that you took the time to take a closer look on our rifle. I'd like to mention to the people, dangerously stubborn, that comments some unrelated shit without knowing, that this rifle has been the first developed of its kind and for the early prototypes even before your M16... and has been a great rifle for many years and has been successful in many operations. Remember that this rifle has been adopted at the same time that you guys adopted the first M16 except that we haven't found the need to do multiple changes since then because the FAMAS was already working perfectly in its first configuration. The bullpup design helps us greatly in urban combat and it is a pretty reliable gun if you use the correct mags. Here is the problem : the mags has been created for being disposable so aren't that robust... but you know governments are always trying to cut the cost so they decided to ask the soldiers to keep their mags and reload... bad choice... this is why they get malfunctions. This year we decided to move to the HK416 and the only reason is that we need more interoperability with the NATO forces, the advantage of the customization of the "lego" and also it was cheaper that some other bullpup manufactures. Great Job Larry and thanks to share with our shooting community your knowledge with such good videos!

"Remember that this rifle has been adopted at the same time that you guys adopted the first M16 except that we haven't found the need to do multiple changes since then because the FAMAS was already working perfectly in its first configuration." ...What... ???????????? The M16 was adopted during the vietnam war in 1963. In 1967 it was the official assault rifle of both the marines, us air force and us army. The Famas was only on the drawing board in 1967. Its final configuration was adopted in 1977. Production began in 1978 for the F1A and 1981 for the F1B just in time for the war in Lebanon. The mas 54 isn't the ancestor of the Famas just because it's a bullpup. The Famas F1 is full of bullshit. The G2 too. AR15 compatible magwell should have been a thing from the beggining. Reciprocating charging handle is shit, bad controls (selector under the stock wtf), mushy trigger, no support to affix optics, not a lot of room for modularity... On a firing range it's surely a great gun. In war times, not so much. And I sincerely doubt you're a shooting instructor... If so, then god help young recruits, with the amount of bs you're spewing in this comment. How do you explain to them the point of the straight 25 rounds mags and steel case 5.56 is the 1100 rounds per minute firing rate, when full auto fire is forbidden and 3 rounds burst not taught anymore in ISTC (french for "instruction on combat shooting") then ???

@lukaszpokoju7 жыл бұрын
Although I agree with you about the fact the FAMAS was adopted way after the M-16 for the US. Some of your points are debatable too. "FAMAS-F1 full of bullshit" ? By nowadays standards, maybe it isn't that great, but at the times it was quite an innovative rifle. And even if the FAMAS have some flaws (magazines, 1.12 twist barrels) , it is still a viable rifle with slick features like floating barrel, night sights, totally ambidextrous, a very simple action . "bullshit would suit the L85a1 (first version) not the FAMAS. "AR15 compatible magwell should have been a thing from the beginning" I'd say it's true, but at the time of it's development AR-15 mag STANAG wasn't the thing it is today, also part of the development took place at a period of the history when De Gaulle's policy wasn't NATO compliant. "Reciprocating charging handle is shit" a bold statement, it may not suit some shooters, but there's plenty of reciprocating charging weapons (e.g. FN FNC, AK, FN SCAR, GALIL etc...) which are great weapons. Plus in the FAMAS, the charging handle is protected by the carry handle. "Selector under the stock WTF" it's not the main selector, you don't need to alternate from full auto to 3 round burst in an emergency situation. "Mushy trigger" you are right about this, the trigger is kinda bad "No support to affix optics" "not a lot of room for modularity" In the 70's 80's we were not in the "tactical sights and picatinny" mindset. And mounts for rails were added later. Like said before, the FAMAS aged badly, because french didn't pursued it's development according to small arms evolution. The MAS factories closed, thus there was no possibilities to re-issue a updated modern version.

Mania 94440 le fusil Australien en concurrence était le F90 d'une filiale de Nexter industrie et qui n'est autre qu'un Steyr AUG amélioré vu que Nexter possède Steyr maintenant. Après il faut savoir que Heckler und Koch fait sous traiter en France une partie (30 à 50%) de ses armes et une partie des aciers viennent de chez nous aussi. Pour finir je dirais que la fin des manufactures françaises étaient prévisible : pas d'exportations car l'état est seul client, fin des ateliers de fabrication des munitions (le FAMAS utilisait une munition de 5,56x45 chemisée acier de part sa conception, pour passer aux munitions en laiton on a du modifier les canons des armes et perdre par la même en precision) et retrait de la participation de l'état au capital des manufacture dont les ouvriers au statut ultra protecteur coûtait excessivement cher. Si on avait sacrifié la sacro-sainte indépendance nationale de De Gaulle et vendu nos produits on en serait pas là. Bref merci aux décisions politiques de ces 40 dernières années et aux réductions des budgets de la défense.

The French Army has decided to replace this aging gun with an HK-416F. I understand that they would replace it. However why not keep a bullpup, a European one, like the FN2000? Budget? Right... France has money for Rafale airplanes, nuclear submarines, atomic bombs, state of the art assault helicopters, and an aircraft carrier, but they cannot afford a decent bullpup... I suspect bureaucrats don't go on the battlefield...

What you say about the famas security lever is incorrect, as we never ever ever use the full auto/burst mode. When you have the real French army module to use the weapon, with exact precise gestures, it becomes natural to put the lever to 1/semi mode. By the way you have a Famas Infantry handguard (with the device to put a J4 scope on), not the F1 version.
@christophelebrun36764 жыл бұрын
No it is not totally incorrect what my instructor explained us during my military training in the French army is because when you are surprised by enemies fire you want the full auto mod and for a right handed shooter your first reflex is to push the safety to the left. When you need the semi auto mod you have more time to think and it is easy to push the safety to the right. And what was not mention is that every famas is easy to reconfigure to a left handed firearm but it doesn't change the safety if I remember correctly.
As an American I really appreciate French firearms. It sucks that only 200 or so of these FAMAS were imported to the U.S. in semiautomatic. Hopefully one day your Army will get rid of older rifles and parts kits can be sent here to America to be built into semiauto for us Americans to be able to appreciate such a fine rifle. 🇫🇷 🇺🇸

I would have been very hesitant about placing my face right above the ejection port a 60,000 psi chamber that is only a delayed blowback with non-recommended copper cartridges. All the more so, in the case of a full auto since you mention yourself that over time the recoil spring might weaken and increase the risk. So the French rifle requires non-standard steel cartridges - say goodbye to the idea of borrowing ammo from an allied country in case of a shortage. Which was the original idea of the NATO 5,56 x 45 standard ammo. Second, the firing pin is subject to more severe wear and tear and must be replaced at about every 3,000 rounds. Since France let its own firearms makers become extinct the manufacture of FAMAS firing pins is a special order and the unit price is about 300 euros (about the same in US dollars). This made the headlines because the French contract price for the replacement HK416 is equivalent to 4 FAMAS firing pins. This is a serious deficiency of French politics - allowing your own firearms manufacturers to fold. This to the point when the French government could not even manage to find someone in France to manufacture the HK416 under licence in the volume needed. Finally, I have had it with the comments section's French bashing. Beginning with the rifle: The French INVENTED SMOKELESS POWDER, not the US. Do I have to explain why smokeless was such a big deal ? The French also did a lot of work on ballistics theory - ever wondered where the word "ogive" came form ? Has anyone who studied US history, the French provided support in the early days of what would become later the USA. Next the "surrender stick" smirk. Easy to judge when your immediate neighbor was not nazi Germany. I laughed when I heard Alex C.'s quip about a measurement system used in countries that did not put a man on the moon. Condemning a country for losing a war though is nasty and mean.

THIS GUY GETS IT AND NO ONE GIVES HIM CREDIT. Classical for the youtube comment section. You can add to the firing pin stories the magazines too have to be refurbished since they are so fragile and were supposed to be expendable. It thus takes 6 refurbished famas magazines to buy a brand new HK416. Bravo to our french politicians. And mind you some of them still have the nerves to criticize the choice of HK, saying it's bad for the non-existent french small arms industry... When the steel bars HK manufactures all of its barrels from, for all of its small arms except a few, is made in France by the Aubert & Duval company since 1970 ! Anyway kudos to you for establishing some facts here.

If they didn't care for the civilians' lives, they could do it. This is a Frenchman speaking, as tired as any other of my people of the nonsensical Anglo-American propaganda of french cowardice, most especially because it is simply inaccurate. And following that principle, we must be honest of the American military situations of the past as well.

6:00 not sure i cought well what he said but as i understand it he's saying you only have to change the cheak piece to use it as a left or right handed the truth is if you're left handed you've to dismount the whole mecanism to swap the extractor side so it's pushing the ammo out the open side

Wow, near 0 recoil impluse compared to many other 5.56 rifles. So damn stable.

having served in the French gendarmerie, I used this gun for more than a year. It really is smartly designed.Many small parts within this splendid gun, never had to clean it on the field, could have proven tricky. Overall a very good gun. The new standard issue rifle for the French military is way less sexy. And it's not even French !! booth !! cool vid thanks for this wealth of info !!

C'est le traître Hollande qui l'a fait remplacer par une merde allemande pour bien se faire voir. C'était politique, il l'a avoué Plus de FAMAS, plus de manurhin, des balles faites au Pakistan, un projet de partage de nos têtes nucléaires avec l'Allemagne et l'Europe..... Ils sont en train de démilitariser, desindustrialiser, appauvrir et démembrer notre pays, un peu plus chaque jour qui passe..... Courage

@@jomo3564 tout a fait, que des traîtres au pouvoir depuis de Gaule, c'est pour cela qu'ils l'ont fait dégager d'ailleurs... La pillule, ils la prennent profond (comme moi...)mais j'ai l'impression que chaque jour passant et se dégradant, de plus en plus de français ouvrent les yeux. Lentement mais sûrement Pour les autres Bisounours qui refusent de voir, comme dit l'adage "seul L'Idiot apprend dans la douleur..." Courage 💪

il est simple efficace et surtout très court donc très maniable comparé à un m4 ou le futur hk.. il aurait juste fallu acheter des vrai chargeurs et avoir un canon plus précis.. sinon il a un design revolutionnaire. Enfin une crosse qui sert à quelque chose et permet de raccourcir l'arme tout en ayant un canon assez long..

The upgraded variants are the G1 and G2, there was no F2 (at least as far as a cursory Google search will tell me) but other than misnaming it the info was spot-on. I didn't know you could reverse the cheek piece to eject the other way, that's neat. Something else you didn't mention about the front selector lever is that part of the reason semi-auto has you pushing it out to the right side of the gun is because the intended method of using rifle grenades with the FAMAS, at least for indirect/area targets, was to turn the rifle so the right side faces downwards, left hand on the grip and the stock braced against the ground, so you could fold out the grenade sight to line up with that.

Reasonably reliable gun. Controls are strange, scopes are an issue. A bit strange like Citroën.
@Scriptorsilentum5 жыл бұрын
nonetheless the features - though odd - are interesting: usual firing config is semi-auto bursts of 3, left-or-right handed firing, adjustable depth for grenades, standard infantry issue includes a built-in bipod. Not to criticise your response, I just think these features must have made it a success with the troops. BTW, have you ever driven a french car - citroen? I hear they take getting used to but don't know anything about them myself.
