Famas

chalky

Any one know of any clones of the Famas? I'm aware of the JP one, but I don't know anything about the quality of it. Anyone know anything about it?

I think theres a cybergun one availible at the moment., no idea who the original manufacturer is though.,

Cybergun do one but it's 1.2J afaik

Masada

thats pretty unusual, all cybergun stuff Ive seen is usually rated below 1J,

the reading on the box are also rarely accurate, my cybergun uzi claims to be 1J but in actual fact its firing at 240fps so its way less.,:)

There are two jing peng models anyway, the second was meant to be way better, but the first was meant to be a bit dodge.

Maybe get a TM one or order one through the irish retailers, they are meant to be very reliable.

I can vouch for the TM one and so can O1s1n. Absolute beaut.

Yeah, I've heard the TM one is really good, if a bit "creaky".

*shudder*

Yes, the creaking is quite nasty. Sterling piece otherwise.

Would consider getting a TM one creaking notwithstanding. TMs first AEG is a worthy addition to my collection.

The price of the TM mags have put me off however.

Anyone know where to get some cheap famas clone mags? I initially thought they were compatible with m4/m16 mags but apparently not

NakedDex

Despite how horrifically displeasing I find it to look, I've always found it curious that there should be only one clone of it, despite being around longer than any other AEG. Not even the other high end companies seem pushed enough to produce such an iconic (though, again, sinfully ugly) and recognisable rifle.

hoplite

I agree fugly aeg but it'd probably grow on me. High stock rate of fire. Not very common and kinda interesting.

Cybergun and Jing peng seem to be the only clones I have found and they may well be one and the same. The cybergun version is close enough to the price of a TM so you'd be better off with a TM IMHO

The real FAMAS G2 is SANTAG able but TM didn't make it so.

I would be all over one if there were some after market body kits for it.

Masada

Yeah id i could get one of those FELIN ones id defo be down as a FAMAS owner.,

I have a Cybergun Famas, was downgraded when it came in to 1J I can vouch for it tight groupings high rof even on stock battery. Would be willing to sell/trade if anybody's interested.
