The FAMAS need a buff

[Magnum]

The FAMAS is too weak compared to all submachine guns.
- It does 24 damage where everyone else does a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 29.
- Has more recoil than all SMG
- Has the same level of precision as a submachine gun
- Has only 200 more velocity, not really a plus
- Even its 900 firing rate (might as well give it its 1100) is inutlie
- It's the only assault rifle that doesn't damage light vehicles (the VECTOR does).
Its only advantage is range damage, but it's not great.
As a Frenchman, i hate to say it but the famas is useless.

It also gets 50% damage to headshots while SMG's only get 20%.
The 200 extra velocity is a 50%+ increase over SMG's and is a huge help against moving targets.
Has a blistering fast 3.07 reload down to 2.56s with no penalties on its fast mag - mag dropping makes this even faster.
Because its got such a fast reload you dont need to run the URK grip for reload speed you can make good use from the Vert grip or something like the SE-5 to reduce its recoil more.
The heavy/long barrel both make it do over 25 damage damage making it a 4 shot kill vs unarmoured making it on par with the vectors TTK.

Honestly its main problem is it has all these SMG stats like high RoF, fast reload and short range - but lacks the mobility of SMG's that allows them to get into that range fast and its ADS time isn't the best.
The ACR has the same mobility as the MP5 allowing you to run around much faster and the SG550 is slower but has so little recoil that you can easily run a suppressor on it making it better for staying hidden while on a flank and it also comes with 2 extra mags.

They should focus on making it 3 round burst focused to make it different than any other wep like other games do

Yeah, its 24 damage is pathetic and its recoil being higher than the Scar H and FAL is ridiculous, I still use it though.

I think the appropriate starter-adjustment would be to bring it to 25 or 26 damage, to make it a 4-shot TTK, with the drawback being the low capacity and mediocre handling, but I'm not an expert.

[Hi, I'm Ari.]

You guys do realise the long barrel exists, right? The real problem is the gun is lowtier until you rack up 300~ kills, and then becomes lowkey broken.

This is an issue a lot of weapons in this game face, such as the Glock 18 which feels awful to use until you get the mag upgrade. The M110 that is pathetic until you get Heavy Barrel, etc.

In what world is the famas low key broken? Lmao

I've got over 550 kills with it, it's one of the worst guns in the game.

Low damage, high recoil, small magazine, slow run speed slow ADS time etc etc

bullet hose gun that has a low magazine is recipe for disaster in and of itself

The long barrel makes you 4 shot ennemies who are wearing no armor thats it
