France doesn't have a small arms industry no more. They closed the factories in the early 00's, trying to make a 100% French design would cost way too much and wouldn't be any better than current available designs.

The Famas in the French military, already a rather old design with its share of issues, are old. They haven't been constructing any from scratch for a long time, they have to order particular parts from random factories which alse causes issues since they don't have the original tooling.


Anyway I think the French military is already switching to the HK417 and HK416 in small batches to replace both FRF2 and Famas. They've beeng buying FN Mags AND FN Minimis for quite a while to replace the AA-52.

SCAR-L seems rather unlikely due to cost in mass deployment. Maybe a simplified version like the FNAC?

Every HK MR223 and MR308 I've seen at the range has broken down. Every last one of them.

I know it doesn't necessarily reflect on the military HK416, but it doesn't inspire confidence. I also don't like the fact they charge an arm & a leg for what's essentially an old & simple design.

(I'm a euroPEON, so MR223/MR308 instead of your MR556/MR762)

French economy and political sphere is always full of disastrous short-term savings. The army is not exception to the rule.
Nowadays they want to get more civilians to do cleck jobs in the army because it's supposedly cheaper. I can't wait for the frictions this will cause.
We had civilians keeping the bases too, before the terrorist attacks made them realise that mall security was maybe not the best solution to repel an attack.

And for some reason 4chan doesn't want me to upload my famas-related pdfs. Have some manuals while I try to figure this out.

If I remember correctly, rifle grenades are heavier, don't need a tube strapped to the gun, go further, generate more shrapnels, can be of various shapes, are less precise, can fuck up your barrel and have a bigger recoil.
It's all a matter of choices.

Whereas UGLs are vastly lighter to carry compared to numerous heavy grenades, can be fired effectively instantly instead of setup time, are much more accurate and can have digital laser aiming, have a greater rate of fire, can carry more ammunition on individual soldiers and don't prevent use of the main weapon or foul it up over time. The "bigger boom" is only marginal, and the extra range is false, the M320 and AG36 can propel to 400m. The French rifle grenades only really have sights out to 320m.

They're a massive improvement, thats why basically everyone has swapped over to them. The only reason the French army doesn't use them is lack of money to adapt the Famas properly.

French army has been getting shafted in the budget for years now. Lots of stuff it needs not being given.

>>29399663

There's a big difference between fishing a clunky grenade out of your kit, unhooking it, taking the correct stance for the huge recoil, strapping it to the end of the rifle, aiming and firing...as opposed to just aiming and firing.

They can shoot shaped charges, but they're rather outdated. If you're wasting weight carrying them, but still needing to carry a Gustav or AT4 because the shaped charge grenade is shit and can't handle heavier vehicles, then what's the point anyway?

Not to mention, I don't like the idea of having to get within 100-200m of a fucking hostile vehicle one bit. Give me a Gustav, or better yet an NLAW.

Your opinion which I respect. I prefer to have a bunch of guy all able to shoot grenades with a twelve meter kill radius at shorter range than one able to shoot more grenades with a 6 meter kill radius at a longer range. You know what would be even better? Being able to do both on one rifle.

Funnily enough, the only rifle which I know has that going for it is the L85, although their rifle grenades don't really get issued any more since the swap to UGL. Probably sitting around in storage somewhere for if SHTF.

It's not one guy, generally sections have between 2-4 UGLs in them, depending on who you're rolling with. Given the much hgiher rate of fire and easier aiming, the output downrange tends to be a lot higher.

Had the chance to visit the commandos recently, they still used FAMAS instead of HKs with UGS because it was lighter.
They are transitioning to independant grenade launchers, though.

Seriously, apples and oranges. French infantry doctrine revolves around the use of grenades a lot, so the FAMAS is designed with that in mind. You can't equip everyone with UGLs.
And it allows you to do some damage to an armored target or a reinforced building without having to carry an AT-4.

>without having to carry an AT-4.

The idea of not carrying any sort of launcher is a frankly terrifying one. Need to engage over 320m with something explosive? Quite fucked. There's a reason that everyone else has moved on from an outdated weapon.

>French infantry doctrine revolves around the use of grenades a lot, so the FAMAS is designed with that in mind.

The Famas was designed long before UGLs were such a common thing, so that definitely isn't in its "design". And if it focuses on grenades so much, then why doesn't it want the one that puts out more grenades per minute for the team, with faster reaction, at longer ranges, more accurately and with greater munitions to do it more often on a patrol.

The ONLY reason is budget, because the Armee de Terre has been getting buttfucked to fund the Navy every year for the past decade.
>>
>>29402196
>then why doesn't it want the one that puts out more grenades per minute for the team, with faster reaction, at longer ranges, more accurately and with greater munitions to do it more often on a patrol.

Wellp, I see multiples reasons:

1) You don't need to use grenades in every fight, and it help to control the stock of ammunition.

You're not supposed to shot an apav 40 on your initiative, when shoot goes around, guys tend to shoot a lot, with everything they have and may not think more than that at what they are doing.

With a 40mm grenade, you just need to put the trigger, and put in a new grenades, for a rifle grenade, it need more time, which can help you to correct ( with a kick ) the shitty idea a solider may do.

2) More explosives and Fragmentation, an APAV have 2.5 more explosives than a 40mm grenades ( 80g for the APAV against 32.5g for the 40mm )

So yeah, you can shoot more 40mm grenades, but an APAV got a lot more punch and fragmentation than them.
>>
>>29401965
No.
Because the french army is terrible at preserving history or making good deals. Recent example :
>We got a huge pile of pristine M1 bayonets and other ww2 stuff and collectors are salivating at the thought of putting their hands on one of those... Hey, let's put them to the torch.
And that's for a cat.D weapon. I let you imagine what they do with acually restricted items.

De la variété, il y en a si ton SOA réussit à avoir plusieurs caisses différentes, et même dans ce cas là, ça reste de la conserve, au bout d'un moment, ça saoule, après, c'est sur que c'est mieux que le liophilisé.

Et le reste est identique biscuit de campagnes, Rillettes de thon,sardines, cerf si t'as du bol.

>Et les pates de fruits sont bonnes.

Il y'en a pas dans toutes les rations ^^'

He speaks about the Pike 40mm laser guided rocket I think, meant to be launched from any long enough 40mm grenade launcher. I hope there is a Milkor MGL-140 variant somewhere with a chamber long enough to accomodate six of them. Fuck the weigh, i want my laser-guided-multiple-mini-rocket-launcher. Because reasons.

It's the accuracy that's the big thing. If you could make accurate rifle grenades they'd be a lot more popular.

Je ne sais pas trop ce qui me botte en particulier, disons qu'a peu près tout m'intéresse.
J'ai une License en sciences sociales mais je ne cherche plus à poursuivre plus loin. Je chercher à me rendre plus utile et l'armée est quelque chose qui m'attire depuis un long moment.

Aucune idée de comment ça se passe.

>>29404134

Déjà, j'ai envie de dire, vu ton niveau, tente officier.

grosso modo, quand tu veux rentrer à l'armée, tu passes par un Centre de Selection et d'Orientation ( CSO ).

De là, ils évaluent:

* ta forme physique:
- un test appelé Luc Léger ( 12 palier de 1 minutes, la vitesse augmentant à chaque palier, normalement, tout le monde le fait au collège il me semble ).

- un mini parcours tout simple ( sauter 2 mètres, passer par dessus un obstacle, faire 30 abdos, passer une poutre, sauter sur des cerceaux, jeter 3 balles à 10 mètres sur une cible de 1 mètres )

- Test traction, en faire le maximum

* les tests psychotechniques => Math, Anglais, Français, test spatial ( cubes qui se retournent, ce genre de trucs ).

* Test de personnalité.


De là, ils te donnent tes résultats, et selon ce que tu as obtenu, te disent ce que tu peux faire ou pas.

Du reste, ben... C'est à toi de voir ce que tu veux faire, check le site de recrutement de l'armée, il y a beaucoup, BEAUCOUP, de métier différents, et intéressants.

Et ce, dans les trois armées.

Ben, ca va vite, des dents pourris, une scoliose dont les gens ne soupçonnaient même pas l'existence, un souffle cardiaque a examiner...

Beaucoup de trucs temporaires en fait, le temps qu'ils vérifient, pareil, ne parle même pas d'allergie ou quoi ou qu'est-ce, ils vont te faire patienter 2 mois pour aller dans un hopital faire des tests...

You're lying or those guns weren't taken care of. Both 556/223 and 762/308 lines were made with input from SOF, so they're already better then mil counterparts but they don't have a giggle switch.

D'après ce que j'ai vu, la cause principale de rejet à la visite médicale c'est une mauvaise vue. Tu passe devant l'ophtalmo, tu te chopes un Y4 et le gars regarde ton dossier et dit "ah désolé, mais Mohammed a un Y1 alors il fera mieux l'affaire". Le même Momo qui a donné comme motivation à l'entretien "je cherche la sécurité de l'emploi".

It's the Armée de Terre doing the job of the Police, they could just send a few cops patrolling with MP5s and it would be the same.

Oh and it seems that the G36 is going to be the one replacing or helping to fill the lack of SBRs in the police/gendarmerie. The MP5s and M12s would still be used but some lucky guys would have brand new G36 with an 8inch barrel for their patrols and crises.
>>
>>29405139
It wouldn't, as last november proved.
Who first applied tourniquets or makeshift tourniquets in the bars ? Who kept their cool where completely overwhelmed police officers asked them to shoot anyone on sight trying to pass checkpoints ? I could go on. I'm not laying the blame on the cops : they just aren't prepared for crisis such as this.
Vigipirate and Sentinelle are dull, tedious missions that any security guard could pull off, but for that one time when shit hits the fan, your run of the mill local cop will not cut it.

We have 3 infantrymen in front of the local synagogue, every single day of the week. I don't know when they have jewish prayers but it could be soldiers for the days of prayers and just basic cop patrols the rest of the time, haven't seen anyone patrolling around the city centre, commercial areas, trainstation or the fuckhuge museum of modern arts, you know places where you actually have people every day and not just when there is a religious event.
I don't know how they pick the places to keep in check "en province" but it seems like Vigipirate is a joke job the police could do while at least in Paris they have patrols sprinkled everywhere.

Are you implying that your average soldier is better trained than the average cop? Because it's basically the same shit. A cop shoots 50 rounds a year with his handgun, a soldier shoots 200 rounds a year with his FAMAS. Both are completely unprepared for the war going on.

I don't even want to image how they actually equipped the poor "policiers municipaux" in most of the French cities, I think they have MR73s in Béziers and SP2022 when they are in one of the few cities where they decided to share the arsenals.

I live in a small town with only 110k inhabitants but there is around a thousand people around the trainstation, central plaza and cathedral each, during daytime, any attack would be a slaughter without anyone able to retaliate. Fuck it just give us CCWs permit if you don't even care about protecting us.

Many "municipaux" are still equipped with Unique .32 acp pistols. It's basically a French made Ruby pistol from WW1. Most of them don't work, because the magazines are totally worn out, won't feed cartridges anymore and of course they are no new magazines being made since decades. Same for the spare parts they would need, if they can even manage to find .32 acp cartridges...
But the best is when they are not armed at all, in leftist cities where they mayor is like "hurr guns are evil". Gotta love having a blue uniform with "police" written on it, but not being able to defend yourseld.

If the French ever manage to restart their small arms industry some day, the factories should manufacture mass quantities of the MAS 49/56 as well as plenty of ammo for it, so it can be easily distributed for civilians when the great Baguetting comes.

I'm in a leftist city and they have 2022s, they are lucky but they do not seem to carry any spare mag though. I don't get why they don't grab the old MAS49/56s, MAT49s and MAC50s rusting in warehouses and give them to the "municipaux".
