Does anyone know if any other countries use the FAMAS besides France?--Mpe2010 13:24, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAMAS#Users That should have them. --74.177.135.205 14:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia, the Republic of Djibouti, Gabon, special forces groups in Indonesia, the Republic of Senegal, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and the Philippine Special Forces use the FAMAS.--ThePotShot 14:31, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Which makes sense since they are all former french colonial possessions.

Hmmm. The picture of the FAMAS G2 on this page is actually of a G1 which is the intermediate model between the F1 and G2. The G1 has the older F1 magazine-well and uses the old F1 magazines, wheres the the G2 has a fuller magazine-well and can only accept NATO STANAG magazines. Check here http://world.guns.ru/assault/as21-e.htm

On a side note, the FAMAS in Metal Gear Solid is modeled after Tokyo Marui FAMAS, which in turn is modeled after the FAMAS G1. I think the FAMAS entries for Metal Gear Solid and Twin Snakes should be changed to the FAMAS G1 instead of the FAMAS G2.
