in-built, automatic tactile feedback that you need to reload because you feel 2 shots instead of 3
better than the british solution of “count in your head how many bullets you’ve used and reload when you hit 30”
Oh damn that’s smart

My thoughts exactly. More guns need better UX design. The Garand had its ping, this gun has its dud-dud, the barret 50 cal blows a lil hiss of gas out the bottom of the mag when its empty like an exasperated sigh, the P90 you can literally just see the last round get sucked into its witchcraft mechanism.
P90 is so cool.
I once saw a funny P90 review on youtube. But i can never find it now. Some P90 fan please hook me up.
Well we all know immediately what you mean by this
Probably because YouTube banned all firearm videos.
I rented one at a range once. It was extra neat.
witchcraft mechanism
lmfao, monkeys when they see a funky spiral leading into a fancy piston
There are no monkeys in that video. I am very disappointed.
The P-90 is a magical lil nightmare.
The ideal would be a dustbuster-shaped thing that you’d operate by pushing buttons with your thumb.
why can’t they just look at their ammo counter on the hud like everyone else
I personally use the screen on the rifle that shows how many bullets are left in the magazine
Real pogchamps turn HUD off
Yep, it’s just good design
A proper tactile, audible and visual feedback with practical application is called a bolt hold open and it even speeds up a reload.
Wondering if you felt x-1 rounds leave the rifle to determine if a reload is needed is the kind of engineering that made even the french abandon this for a german made HK416
Shadow Moses Island wasn’t liberated from terrorists with a HK416. No thanks.
If we’re going by that logic, every house needs two things: a USP .45 and a NIKITA Remote Control rocket launcher.
You have my vote.
And my axe!
and a cardboard box
Strictly speaking wasn’t it FOXDIE?
As much as I love shitting on the French for being terrible with numbers (seriously, how the fuck is the word for ‘99’ ‘four-twenties, a ten, and a nine’?!?) this one seems intentional so you can feel when you run out.
The funny thing is that in Switzerland they commonly say nonante neuf. So it’s not like there is no word for 90
Someone tried to improve the French language and predictably the French were having none of it.
not in my jardin !
Because way back when, before sensible systems, they used base-20, and despite now running base-10, the base-20 is stuck in the language.
Edit it’s sort of in most languages actually, not just to that extent. I mean, English has “twenty-one”, but no “onety-one”. 1-20 have their own numbers in most languages I think, and after twenty you just repeat the first 10 and add whatever tens you like, whereas the French sometimes repeat the first 20 and add an amount of twenties
English has “twenty-one”, but no “onety-one”.
But you have teens? Thirteen, fourteen etc? It’s just that a dozen was kind of special, so eleven and twelve are kind of irregular, but afterwards it’s just ordinary base 10, isn’t it?
Well, English does. Not my native language.
Yes, my point exactly. No “onety-one”, because “eleven”.
Same with other languages.
But “thirteen”, “fourteen” etc, you think are as regular as “twenty one”, “thirty three” “forty five”?
It is base-10 all the way through, but I’m just pointing out that probably at one point in history, even other languages, for some reason, counted 1-20 differently than 20+ numbers and they sort of stuck.
The Danish are similarly bad with numbers as the French
We’re not bad with numbers, just at naming them. 😉 But that’s why we pretty much always use abbreviations.
Abbreviations. Of numbers. Don’t think about it. 😅
My ass will know I ran out when the panic fire stops working and not one second before. And probably several after.
Wait til you find out how Abraham Lincoln counted the passage of time in the Gettysburg Address…
Later on they made a variant that accepts 30 round STANAG magazines, but the Army decided not to adopt it. Classic French behaviour.
Why does the barrel look like a shower hose
It’s ribbed for her pleasure
Adapter for rifle grenades.
They’re to increase surface area on the barrel to radiate heat more effectively.
What? It’s the FAMAS…and certainly not the only military rifle with 3 round burst. It also has single fire and full auto. Many magazines are in multiples of 5, so unless the user only carries 30 round magazines there will always be an odd one left if burst fire is the only mode used.
Anon really didn’t think about this too hard.
What’s the real mag capacity in these? Is it truly 25, as most video games make it? Obviously I have not handled a real FAMAS.

F1 has 25 rounds G2 has 30 rounds
