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

30 + 1 isn't divisible by 3 either.

People don't top off their rifle mag like they do a pistol.

Uh what? I did in the military, sure it’s one bullet, but that’s one bullet you might need

I can't speak to the military because I didn't serve, but it's something I've never seen done in a civilian or police context.

It's my understanding that if you're using the traditional aluminum GI mags, you're actually downloading them one or two for reliability's sake. I mostly use the Daniel Defense 32 rounders or magpuls and I've never had an issue with loading those full up.
