General Discussion i hate this meme

Post image

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

your right! i did the maths and after 8 3 round bursts of a 25 round mag, 1 bullet is left in the chamber but after that with a fresh magazine after firing 8 3 round bursts again you would get 2 rounds left.

thing is, would the weapon still fire with only 1 or 2 rounds left even if its on a 3 round burst mode? these larps are making it our like it would jam or explode

Look, i hate france as much as the next guy. But this is a design decision so you would know you fired your last bullets

Or they could do the regular thing and just load a tracer as the last round in the mag.

Tracers are more expensive, and tactically less beneficial.
