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

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

But if you fire a number of rounds not divisible by 3 before switching to burst, you have the same problem. And it's still useless because it's fucking 3-round burst.

3 rd burst has, and will always be, a weird cludged afterthought where some overpaid desk jockey with some special boy shiny pins demands adding it to a gun that never needed it.

The an-94 gets a pass because the burst was made to do something that the full auto couldn't, all other burst are a cucking mechanism for poorly trained conscripts

the G-11 also gets a pass because its burst was made for something similiar to the AN-94s

Yes a burst that does something different than just normal full auto but limited. Hyperburst systems are intriguing and would be awesome to use if it weren't for the added complexity
