			==FAMAS vs FA-MAS==
			Might as well throw this wrench into the spanner here, but every one of the (limited) proper/period type source I can find, notably the '''''rifle's own markings''''' or [https://www.forgottenweapons.com/wp-content/uploads/manuals/FAMAS%20F1%20manual%20English.pdf manuals], use the FA-MAS spelling. Although dropping the dash has been the conversational/colloquial go to for ages, it does seem with it is more formally correct. I'm not necessarily suggesting renaming everything (at least without more digging), but this is definitely noteworthy.

			== FAMAS Valorise/Felin barrel rifling twist? ==

			Are there any official documentations/verification about these upgraded FAMASs' rifling twist? I am not sure if these rifles still have the original F1 twist, or have been changed to newer 1:9 like the G2 variants to be able to shoot SS109 rounds.

			The only place I find where someone mentioned the rifling twists of these rifles is here http://regimentals.jugem.jp/?day=20120713 . I need to use translation to understand it.

			The blog poster is a Japanese French foreign legion personal. He mentioned in the blog that these rifles had been changed to use NATO rounds. However, with only one source, it is hard to verify. Still better than no source of information though.

			It will be good if someone can share more information about these rifles' rifling twist.
