FAMAS

The Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne, or simply the FAMAS for short, is a bullpup burst Assault Rifle designed in 1978 France that uses the 5.56mm Ammunition. It is one of the four weapons to have the burst fire mode, the others being the UMP9, AN-94 and the M93R. It had roughly the same DPS as the M416, but deals more damage per magazine and is almost four times as accurate.

Rarity
Compared with guns such as the AK-47 or MP220, it is slightly more common to find and obtain through regular crates, buildings, and on the battlefield, though its high outburst damage makes it much more rare than finding a pistol or other less powerful rifles.

Strategies
If you can come across enough 5.56mm (green) ammo, then this can be a reliable gun as long as you land your shots, as the burst fire does an enormous amount of damage. The magazine size (425 damage per magazine) is also quite desirable.

If you do use this gun, use it similarly to the UMP9 as the stats are similar, but stronger.

You can kill an unarmored person with just 2 bursts of fire (6 shots).

Trivia

 * The icon for the FAMAS is based off of the F1 model, indicated by its small trigger guard (as opposed to the G2 model's large trigger guard that engulfs the whole hand of the user) as well as its use of its proprietary 25-round box magazines, whose capacity is correctly reflected in-game.
 * The real-life FAMAS actually does have a 3-round burst setting, unlike the real-life UMP9.
 * It is the first bullpup style weapon to be added in Surviv.io
 * Its in-game sprite when viewing in top-down looks very much like the Vector.

Countering

 * The FAMAS can kill you in two quick bursts if you have no armor, meaning that getting in front of it is a bad idea. If you are fighting a FAMAS user, hide behind an obstacle, and when the 3 bursts come out, attack while dodging. The bursts are so easy to dodge since there is a delay between each burst, which can be fatal for the player if they miss. The counter for the FAMAS is similar to the UMP9 since they're both burst guns.

Pros

 * High damage
 * Good damage per mag
 * Fast reload

 * Accurate

Cons

 * Somewhat low DPS compared to weapons such as the SCAR-H
