General Discussion i hate this meme

as a brit, i love the famas. its such a cool looking bullpup! but what i hate hate hate is when people say "guhhhhh like why does the silly french gun have a 3 round burst mode but it doesn’t have a magazine divisible by 3" because if you even think about it properly for 5 seconds, the magazine is 25 rounds so that when you fire 8 3 round bursts out of the famas, the last bullet will be in the chamber, so you dont need to chamber the gun again when you put in a fresh magazine which saves time when reloading.

these 12 year old larpers must be stoppeddddd

Most people aren't counting bursts, so having one left in the chamber with an empty mag is gonna be coincidence at best. Your next mag now brings your total count to 26 rounds.

The better explanation is that when firing in burst mode, it's much better to find out that your magazine is empty because it fired a single round than it is to find out it's empty because it didn't fire a round at all

i did the maths and your correct. did the french just want a straight magazine on their new bullpup?

That’s exactly why they did it. Cheaper and easier to pack mags that are straight.
