FAMAS

The FAMAS is an Assault Rifle first presented in the 11-12-08 Patch. It is a fully automatic rifle with a standard 30-round magazine. It features a great rate of fire and high accuracy.

The FAMAS emits a distinct 'popping' sound when fired, and sharp players will recognize this sound from a distance, so stealthy long range shooting with this weapon is harder than with other weapons, although this can be compromised with a suppressor.

It is excellent for ranged shooting because of its great accuracy over distance and minimal sway whilst zoomed in with a Scope.

Since the 05-27-09 patch, the FAMAS is available as your default Primary Weapon through the Black Market item Default Primary Weapon Change-FAMAS.

Customization
The FAMAS can be outfitted with all current attachments. After the 4-29-2009 patch, FAMAS could permanently replace the Default Primary Weapon for 24,900 NX.
