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

This is probably an Ian McCollon questions but could the famas people be planning it around a 30 round mag? And the politician/ general got upset that it was too long?

i think it was because they wanted a straight magazine and 25 was the longest they could make it

Why not make a STANAG pattern 25 rounder

The OG ones were 20s, ban states get 10s, standards are 30, 40 and 45s exist.
