French FAMAS Assault Rifle: A Classic of Torchless Rifles

2025-02-14   

French FAMAS assault rifle. During the Cold War era, the trend of unguarded rifles was short-lived. Untouched rifles can be flexibly used on equipment such as armored vehicles and transport planes with limited space, making them very suitable for urban street fighting, counter-terrorism operations, and special operations. In the 1960s, the FAMAS assault rifle designed by French army officer and light weapon designer Paul Taili was quickly adopted and accepted by the military, and produced at the Saint Etienne (MAS) factory in France. The FAMAS assault rifle has also become one of the earliest developed dockless rifles in the world. Thanks to its innovative design and excellent performance, the FAMAS assault rifle has long been the standard weapon of the French military and has greatly influenced the design of rifles in other countries. The FAMAS assault rifle has a unique dockless structural design that shortens the overall length while maintaining a longer barrel length. At the same time, the FAMAS assault rifle has a ejection window that can be changed from left to right position, so the shell will not hit the face when firing with left-handed personnel. Strong firepower and excellent shooting performance are another characteristic of the FAMAS assault rifle. It adopts a semi free bolt and a lever delayed recoil system, with a theoretical firing rate of 900-1000 rounds per minute. It can quickly pour a large amount of ammunition towards the target in a short period of time, and can quickly form a dense firepower network in close combat or when suppressing the enemy, causing strong deterrence and damage to the enemy. In order to reduce ammunition consumption, the FAMAS assault rifle has a three shot firing function. The spread range of three point firing bullets is very small, with a sum of horizontal and vertical spread of less than 40 centimeters at a distance of 200 meters, which is more helpful for shooters to achieve precise shooting in actual combat environments. In addition, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the FAMAS assault rifle in different environments, France has upgraded it in various ways and launched different versions. For example, the FAMAS G2 rifle uses reinforced fiberglass instead of plastic to create trigger shields and handguards, enhancing the gun's strength in special environments; The magazine has switched to the standard M16 magazine for direct use by different countries around the world. In the history of world firearms, the FAMAS assault rifle has become a highly favored weapon with its classic design, unique advantages, and wide range of applications, winning praise from military enthusiasts around the world.
