FAMAS Machine Gun AEG, Black

Realistic details

Better instructions

None

- High rate of fire - Good accuracy - Intuitive controls

- I find the battery cover hard to put back in place - Sights are nicely adjustable, but don't stay in place. Any kind of knock or jar will take them out of adjustment - Also, on sights: there is a rear peep and an insert. Both are pretty small, which is fine for daytime, but I would have one wider for low-light (like the rear sight on an M16/M4 if you're familiar with them) - Instructions are sort of vague; sparse on words without and lack any mention of maintenance - I took off the cheek piece to convert to left-handed and it never went back on tightly (falls off)

This is my first AEG, and a good one! Perfect for fun times discouraging the squirrels at the bird feeder!

There are some superfluous controls that may add to realism but have no practical impact. The left/ride side eject selector and charging handle move but are non-functional. I would've fixed them in place, but if you're into the realism thing, you might like them.

There's quite a few things I would change about this AEG, but they are all minor!

Ample space for a 9.6v battery, relatively solid feeling build with no wobble or flex, authentic sights including rifle grenade sights. Barrel length is absurd for a gun this size. It is just shy of the length of a full length M16's barrel thanks to the bullpup layout. Muzzle report is -very- dull for an AEG, making it harder to pinpoint if you're being selective with your shots.

The mag well takes a bit getting used to, I had to glue the trigger guard in place since mine came slightly bent, bipod has a little wobble and flex, it's mostly for show anyway. Gearbox isn't exactly standard, but there's plenty of guides online. Motor's pretty loud, but only to the person firing.

Magazines are hard to come by and can be costly, but the weapon can be modified to fit modified M4 magazines with a bit of dremel work.

Also be aware that the FPS measurements advertised are using .12g bbs which you should never use in this replica. With .20g rounds, it fires around 350-370fps, but don't let that deter you. With the barrel length it has, it makes this weapon highly accurate.

Battery compartment is easier to close if you put the safety on before replacing the cover.

Works good! Velocity good! Easy to operate.

Battery difficult to get in and out!!! What a struggle!! Fragile battery locking/safety lever!

Heavy!

This gun is great for anything. I use it as a sniper and support gunner. I also have a few sniper rifles, and this shoots just as well as them. It can hit a head sized target from about 200ft. The fps is really good. The rof is great for a fully auto gun that can still be a sniper. I have many high quality/ high price guns, but this one is my favorite and the cheapest. It is good for anybody in airsoft, no matter what their job is and how much experience they have.

I wouldn't change anything, but buy an extra mag(high cap). This shoots so fast, you run out of ammo really quickly. You should also get a scope or dot sight because the sights on this gun are pretty mediocre. Also, buy a better battery. The one it comes with is great, but after a while it wears down. This gun can fit much larger batteries and they increase the performance by a lot.

Get this gun. It is great for anything and doesn't cost a lot. Just buy some upgrades and you will be all set. I suggest a scope/sight, extra mag, battery, and you can replace the bipod with a grenade launcher or mounted shotgun if you want extra fire power. I also like to carry around a silencer, but I made it by myself.

I love it. Perfect for any combat, I got an M203 Launcher, a Sniper Scope, and a few extra mags. I love it, grew up with a real one (Dad was military)

The Fire Mode. Semi, 3 Round Burst. Battery compartment, everyone should know, is hard to open at first. But I got used to it so easily.

This is good for all types of combat. Snipe, fire support, CQB, Assault. Trust me, this is an amazing weapon! If you are a newbie to airsoft, and want an AEG, get this. Also get it with the scope and ammo in customize options.

The accuracy and odd but awsome look drew me to this gun so i got it. Most of all i like the accuracy which is great for sniping. Also i liked the hopup, i use .28 because i am a sniper, but .20 work fine. And ambidexrious because im a lefty

make higher rof. but its a sniper and assault so it doesnt really matter

sights r specific

I received this brilliant airsoft rifle from parents in the form of a christmas presnt. Let me just say that this gun is my dream gun. I use the Famas in COD and my longing for an airsoft version has been succesfuly satisfied. I love the accuracy, the power , all the intresting parts on the gun like the cool sights, and most of all the kick @$$ look this brilliant rifle portrays.

Personaly i was a little frustrated at how hard the battery is to insert into the Famas, but with a little practice i got used to it.

For every one considering buying the Famas know this, it's a wonderful gun that you can't go wrong with, if this rifle is in your price range then definetly get it. Also the fps with .12 bbs is 466 fps but with .20's the fps is 361fps but trust me 361fps is REALY high for .20's. Thanks for reading :)

I really liked the weight of this, even with the body being plastic it has a great heavy feel to it. It has a strong FPS, so I would recomend shooting with .2 BBs, it will be a lot more accurate. I hit a pole that was about an inch thick from 40 feet away (Multiple times in a row)

The RoF isn't amazing, around 650. Don't quote me on that, I don't have a Chrono.

Battery chamber is hard to open sometimes, mag is hard to open, I use a small pocketknife when in a skirmish. I also have a question to anyone else with this gun, if I were to use a lithium 11.1 volt battery in this would it work. I don't want to damage it, it would be nice if someone could tell me. Thanks.

This gun shoots fast and is great for skirmishing, a lot of it is metal and the bull pup design where the clip is in the back is good. i also bought a red dot sight with it which makes it really accurate.

make the battery easier to get in, i had to get used to it before i could do it well.

this gun is great and is a pretty good deal for the money. i would recomend buying a extra mag and maybe a battery.
