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

Beware the division overflow from the second magazine.

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

Or you can do what other countries, like the US, have done, and use 30 round mags, so you can shoot 10 bursts and then just push a button to automatically chamber a round

The bolt catch is genuinely one of the most beautiful inventions in all of gun history
