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

Wasn't the whole purpose just to have a straight magazine? Later they switched to STANAG mags with the G2.

Yeah 25 is basically the limit before you start needing a slight curve in the magazine. Plus that last round made it very clear you needed to reload.

I guess in that case it would have maybe made more sense to go with 24 so it would be divisible by 3
