>So I figured it out-why FAMAS's have 3 round bursts but 25 round magazines
Surely its not because OP is a fag
>>653914768 bursts and a shot to kys with?
>>65391476>reciprocating charging handle>in [CURRENT YEAR]ishiggydiggitty
which episode of animal planet explains this OP?
>>65391476Obviously, it's to let you know you need to reload if you only fire one round, due to the lack a of last round bolt hold open.Is that what you were thinking OP?
Because when you fire the last round you instantly know your empty?
>>65391476
>>65391734>>65391747When you click the trigger and nothing happens that's when you know you're empty
>>6539177025 round magazine + 3 round burst =1st trigger pull - 3 rounds(22 rounds left)2nd trigger pull - 3 rounds(19 round left)3rd trigger pull - 3 rounds(16 rounds left)4th trigger pull - 3 rounds(13 rounds left)5th trigger pull - 3 rounds(10 rounds left)6th trigger pull - 3 rounds(7 rounds left)7th trigger pull - 3 rounds(4 rounds left)8th trigger pull - 3 rounds(1 round left)9th trigger pull -1 round(zero rounds in mag, time to reload)Firing until you hear a click is not only unnecessary, but also stupid because this was setup intentionally to tell legionaries when to reload without ever dryfiring their rifles at a critical moment.>>65391747Exactly correct
>>65391788I think the real reason was 25 was how long they could make the magazine
>>65391788So why not 28?
>>65391476They made the entirely separate design choices of having a three round burst and having a 25 round magazine with no regard for how they mesh together because it really doesn't matter. Anything else is shit people made up to justify not changing it later.
>>65391833Too much. Would go against regulation at the time
>>65391788>this was setup intentionallyBullshit. They made the mags 25 rounds because that is how long you can make them without needing a curve. The government requested the 3-round burst function after every other part of the gun had been made.
>>65391823>>65391833It's just my theory as to why, it could also be that 25 is a factor of 100, which makes logistics people happier when their looking at spreadsheets than 30?In reality, the only person who may know the answer to this question would be a small group of old French people.
>>65391788Wow they get 9 bursts in such a smaller profile, in a 30 round magazine you get merely one more burst for a total of 10th
>>65391763I love that movie
Why are we assuming this was deliberate? The 25 round mag for the FAMAS very well could just be a "make lemonade" situation.
The French copy no one, and no one copies the French
I think FAMAS looks cool.
>>65391476Why didnt they do a 31 round magazine to have the same effect but more capacity?
>>65391476Cause of the metric system.
>>65393437My favorite was the mall scene.
a whole thread of people who don't understand that you can only stack so many funny shaped cartridges in a straight magazine in a board supposedly dedicated to firearms enthusiasts. sasuga dana /k/-kun
>>65393127Because then the magazine would be too long and curved which would interfere with the operator going prone. It’s the same reason why the FAL was designed with a 20 round magazine and that extreme pistol grip angle. Both rifles were intended to be used with their integrated bipods from the prone position or an entrenchment.
>>65393668Bigger bipods
>>65393668>WW1 broke the fr*nch so hard they were still fighting it in the 70sPathetic.
>>65394628>you cant fire with bipod from open field
>>6539184120 rounds would work for that as well.
