| weaponinfo = One of the more famously known bullpup configured rifle in the world, The FAMAS is an acronym of the firearm(Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d's function and the place of productionArmes de Saint-Étienne, translated into English as "Assault Rifle from the Saint-Étienne Weapon Factory. Designed ") is a bullpup configuration, lever-delayed blowback, select fire rifle designed and produced in France by the MAS group (Now now merged with GIAT Industries and formed the to form Nexter Systems) . The rifle was designed in 1971, with the prototype evaluation finished and the FAMAS entered would enter into service in with the French Army as their standard infantry rifle in 1978. The FAMAS is often one of the more well-known military bullpup rifles, as is referred to as 'the F1 variant, since it Bugle' by French troops. The French military is the model currently enlisted to service by in the French army, though improved G1/G2 variants process of replacing the FAMAS were made but they did not enter service with the French Army, instead the French Navy purchase a sum variant of the G2 model and issue it to their Naval Marine forcesHK416.<ref name="wiki">[[wikipedia:FAMAS|Wikipedia entry on FAMAS]]</ref>
FAMAS classifies as The French military would actually begin experimenting with a 5.56 calibre, selective fire, assault bullpup rifle that uses a lever-delayed blowback action mechanism. Chambered with design in the years immediately following the 5end of World War 2.56x45mm NATO cartridge, feeds from Development was hampered by a proprietary 25-round magazinelack of funding, FAMAS is able as priority was being given to reach a rate the modernization of fire of 900 rounds per minuteexisting weapons. A prototype rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO was developed, fire rate of FAMAS is considerable faster than most other assault rifles due to but the lever-delayed blowback mechanism that design was derived from a machinegunscrapped following the U.S. Able to cover up to an effective firing range Army's adoption of 300 metre with the 488mm long barrel M16 and default iron sightits smaller 5.56mm cartridge. G2 variant has As a improved rate result, MAS would begin producing G3 rifles in order to outfit the French military. Development of fire, range and reliability, also added compatibility with a new rifle would not start up again until the 30-round STANAG issue magazineslate 1960's.
French Army issue FAMAS have various design features to meet Under the design specificationdirection of General Paul Tellié, include a bipod mounted development on top of what would eventually become the front receiver, charging handle is located beneath the carrying handle, carrying handle itself can mount various French/NATO issue optics with appropriate adaptersFAMAS started up in 1967. Fire control unit is located The first prototypes would be completed in front of the trigger 1971, and covered tested by military evaluators the trigger guard, it can enable semi-automatic, 3-round burst on top of fully automatic fire and functions as a safetyfollowing year. FAMAS do not have compatible under barrel grenade launchers designed for it, but Despite the rifle grenades are issued performing favorably enough in testing to FAMAS users and can be fired from considered for adoption, production issues would see the flash hider with blank munitionsrifle's debut delayed until 1978. As an emergency measure, grenade sights can the French military would use the SIG SG-540 until enough FAMAS rifles could be pulled out from beneath produced that they could equip the carrying handle. The same muzzle device could also fix bayonetsentire French army at once.
The FAMAS 'F1 model FAMAS ' would enter into French service in the latter part of 1978, and would replace the aging MAS 49/56 rifle and MAT-49 submachine gun. Despite being a decent rifle suffers from mechanically, there were a few performance number of issues such as with the design of the 'F1'. The rifle's polymer furniture was surprisingly fragile, and broke in several key places. Malfunctions related to poor -quality polymer partsmagazines were also common, poorly made/used magazine creating malfunctions although those issues went away once MAS began producing more durable magazines. A number of improvements to the rifle on occasionswould be implemented, overheating issues with continuous firing and costly/long maintenance routinewould result in the 'G2' pattern of rifle. The 'G2' was modified to accept NATO pattern magazines, and featured some changes to the trigger guard. In addition, the internal mechanism was tweaked to allow the use of which standard brass-cased ammunition as well as the French-made steel-cased ammunition. The French Navy purchased the G1/FAMAS G2 in 1995 and Felin model managed issued it to fixtheir Fusiliers Marins and Commandos Marine. The However, the French army is currently replacing their servicing refused to purchase the G2, preferring to rely on the FAMAS F1 with the H&K made HK416F. FAMAS saw action in various modern era conflicts such as the Gulf War and conflicts in Afghanistan with the French Foreign Legiontheir primary rifle.<ref name="wikiForgotten Weapons FAMAS">[[wikipediahttps:FAMAS|Wikipedia entry //www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmYUoG9S-y4 Forgotten Weapons video on the FAMAS]F1]</ref> When the Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Etienne factory closed in 2002, no more FAMAS rifles could be produced domestically. The last batch of FAMAS rifles made by Saint-Etienne would see more than a decade of heavy service. To date, the French armed forces currently uses an estimated 400,000 FAMAS F1 and G2 rifles still stored in their arsenal. The military also ceased manufacture of the special steel case ammunition used in the FAMAS. Because the FAMAS did not function properly with NATO standard brass-cased ammunition (chamber fluting can allow the F1 to use brass cases but only G2 rifles can use common STANAG magazines), the French military would begin searching for a replacement. On August 2016, the Ministry of Defense selected Heckler and Koch's HK416 rifle to replace the FAMAS as their new general-issue service rifle.

A In-game, FAMAS is a blonde-haired T-Doll of roughly 150-160cm of in height, different from . Unlike most other T-Doll art, FAMAS looks more action like in strikes a combat pose for her official default art with her combat pose. Her gun is also quite oversized when compared to her body proportionproportions, something which is also happened to {{doll name|Kar98k|RF|5}}. FAMAS wears a long red overcoat over her blue dress , black pantyhose, and what appears to be pantyhose type stocking into her a pair of white boots. The rifle grenades in her bag appear to also appears to be a little bit oversized. To avoid the confusion, the The grenade stored in her bag was actually is a AC58, Anti-Char 58mm Anti-Tank Grenade which has been incorrectly modelled like a PG-7V Fragmentation Grenade Projectilefragmentation grenade. She also preffered seems to prefer the M-9 bayonet over the actual standard M1956-alike FAMAS Bayonetbayonet. Also, the The bayonet has a heart-shaped charm dangling off it, with her name inscriptedinscribed on the heart in fancy lettering.
As evidenced by the trigger guard, grenade sight, and the straight 25-round magazine, she uses FAMAS is using the original production variant FAMAS F1, currently in service with the French Army. AlthoughHowever, the bayonet is incorrectly positioned under-barreledunderneath the barrel, where when it should be mounted above. In her costume 'Guns N' Side Boxes', the bayonet mistake is repeated, and the magazine is has also been changed to a STANAG style magazine, however despite the F1 model FAMAS cannot not being able to accept STANAG issue magazines.
In her 'Bird & Forest Whisperer children ' costume, she uses a the newer version of the FAMAS, the G2. It was, correctly uses the STANAG-type which actually compatible with G2 Variant in magazines used by the real-lifeG2. Also , the grenade projectile which stored in her backpack was is correctly modelled, as the APAV40 and AC58 were the grenade projectile she used uses for her special skill. The M-9 bayonet also removed while can be seen stuck at in the tree. She also wore wears a black magazine chest rig with a military radio talkie attached at on her leftside.
