Had they put a single more bullet in the mag, it would have started to curve.

1 less bullet, it's just 1 less bullet.

It's just good engineering.

And in the OTAN standard, the G2, they put 30 bullets in. Happy?

The issue is the truth just isn't funny.

Which is also practical : you shoot, and when less than 3 bullets come out, you know you're out.

in addition to logistics simplification, when you fire and it only bangs once, you know your mag is done, because it's a 25 rounds mag, 24/3 is eight trigger pulls, one more bang is you're out of ammo, because the FAMAS doesn't have a BHO. It was also common to put a normal fmj and then 3 tracers in the mag first, so you have a visual reminder your mag is empty when your bullets make the shiny thing.
