French army is looking to replacing the FAMAS and here are the possible replacements. Which option is best for killing suicide bombers in Paris?

Unsure if troll. Regardless, none of those options are functionally superior to the FAMAS anyway. They're all your run of the mill 5.56 blasters. Big fucking whoop. Unless a military is looking at replacing their standard rifle with a caseless design like the G11 it's just a waste of money for 0 gain. Adding to the fact that they'll have to retrain their current soldiers to use the new platform.

GIF related. The two most common weapon systems used by the world's military's. Neither of which have changed in any significant capacity in the past ~65 years they've been around.

Source on this? I don't think there's anything wrong with the FAMAS, even if it is a little old.

If I had to vote on one of those options, I'd probably pick the SCAR or the HK416, but knowing France they'll probably pick something gay like the VHS2 because they're afraid of switching from the bullpup.

Just buy some fucking M4s and call it done. Sure you can find rifles that are slightly better in slight ways, but for the cost you cannot beat the M4.

Fuck the FAMAS and its retarded safety position, lack of bolt hold-open, fixed irons, and shitty bipod that loves to rattle and spring open. It was a neat gun for the time, but the design is clearly outdated and features that we consider to be standard on modern rifles are lacking in the FAMAS.

Debatable and definitely insignificant. AK's come in a varied array of calibers and so does the AR. Have you ever tried shooting low grain high velocity rounds through thick foliage? They have a high tendency to go other than where you're aiming when they hit limbs and just about anything solid. Heavier lower velocity rounds punch through better "innawoods".

The biggest problem with current issue FAMAS is the same as the issues with the M60 and the M249. They are old and absolutely beat to shit.

You can only shoot so many tens of thousands of rounds through a gun before all the parts just wear down too much to be worth repairing.

Except when you're switching from your right hand to your left hand to shoot out of the left side of cover. I lost my gif of MAC eating brass from an AUG. Shucks.

Thanks
>Can only be fired right handed
The famas can of course be easily converted. Imagine the mess if it can't.

Notice the man on the far right is a lefty. VHS 2 can be set to expel casings on either side. The rifle can be fired with one hand.

Bullpups turned out to be shit for modern warfare because of modern heavy armor, and tactical vests. It's hard to reach the magwell when your chest and shoulders have a bunch of shit strapped to them. Also the retracting stocks of modern standard layout rifles accommodate those large vests and different size people very well.
