FAMAE SAF

During the first heist gunfight, when the backup troops are called, a CRS policeman is seen holding a FAMAE SAF submachine gun. This is pretty strange to use a chilean gun, while almost all the French Police's arsenal was provided by SIG-Sauer, the other part of the arsenal being French-made weapons like Manufacture d'armes de Saint-Etienne (MAS) or Manurhin.
