Later on they made a variant that accepts 30 round STANAG magazines, but the Army decided not to adopt it. Classic French behaviour.

Fun fact: IRL burst firing modes don’t fire 3 bullets with a single presse of the trigger, you have to keep it down for all 3 bullets.

Wouldn’t be shoots?

But, that’s still a single press of the trigger. Perhaps it is more accurate to say a single trigger squeeze, rather than press, but it remains true that it will fire all three rounds with you depressing the trigger once.
Mango@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I would in fact consider that to be half a trigger press. Next I’ll talk about the topic of multiple dimensions!

Why does the barrel look like a shower hose

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.

What’s the real mag capacity in these? Is it truly 25, as most video games make it?
Rin@lemm.ee 10 months ago
F1 has 25 rounds G2 has 30 rounds

Such edge!

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.
BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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.
Dasus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
Asetru@feddit.org 10 months ago
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?
Natanael@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
The Danish are similarly bad with numbers as the French
noughtnaut@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
