Look, buddy, numbers in French are hard enough as it is.
Routhinator@startrek.website 2 months ago
The French only learned to count to 60 (except for the dialect that learned to count to 70)

You guys got nothing on the Danes.

Because ammo usually comes boxed by 5’s or 10’s. Mags are often designed to hold rounds in multiples of 5, so ten and twenty can be found for some guns. 3 round burst is common, so a rifle having a 3 round burst and a magazine in multiples of 5 is super normal. Many US military automatic rifles like the M4 also fire 3 round bursts. 20, 30, and 40 round magazines are available for the M4. French ain’t got nothing to do with it.

Ha. Looks like besides the 25 round mag, a 30 round is available. As is single shot mode.

It just fires that last bullet three time.
psycotica0@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Duh, it probably divides by 3 in metric…
RattlerSix@lemmy.world 2 months ago
8 bursts for the enemy, and if that doesn’t do the trick, there’s one bullet left for you
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Once you’ve pulled the trigger for a three-round burst, your hand becomes free and you can change the mag while the first round is still being fired. Duh.

because +1 in the chamber
EldenLord@lemmy.world 2 months ago
25+1 is still not divisible by 3. The FAMAS F1 is just not well thought through. I mean they kind of fixed it with the G2 that takes standard STANAG mags.
dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
yeah was making a bad joke about people forgetting that there’s one in the chamber so it could’ve been like a 29 round mag which isn’t divisible by three but if it had one in the chamber then suddenly it works, but yeah you’re right

Except…
This works as a tactile feedback that your mag is empty.
Wine at lunch is just one of their secret weapons.

I just involuntarily hon hon hon-ed at this revelation
papalonian@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’ve heard this before, and believed it to be a practical design for a while, but when I started shooting, I realized that you can definitely tell when you’ve ran out of bullets in the mag because the bolt typically locks back and feels distinctly different than a normal cycle
4am@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
In a combat situation, with other explosions and shit going on around you, it’s easier to feel two pops instead of three or whatever than to notice your bolt locked after three pops.
It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range.
rockstarmode@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The rifle pictured is a FAMAS, and the bolt does not lock open after the last round.
Though you’re not totally wrong, fewer bangs than you expect on the last trigger pull is pretty easy to notice.
