According to the firearms blog quoting a source the frenchies choose the HK416 as their next assault rifle, replacing the FAMAS

Cool. I see no issue with that. HK has displayed fine skill in manufacturing and general reliability.
>woo-hoo civilian FAMAS?
>>31168445
If I had to guess, I'd say that the 416 was cheaper. HK is expensive, but the SCAR sure is even more expensive - without enough bells and whistles that justify the higher price.

>>woo-hoo civilian FAMAS?
nope. gradually put in storage, then gradually destroyed, as France almost always did for the past century.

Should have gone with the berreta
France cucked by Germany yet again.
It's like pottery
Guess the FN SCAR was just too expensive.
RIP
FAMAS

It's just banter, France will beat them with their own weapon.

Already, two threads. Check the catalog before you post newfag.
>>31168438
Why does France need a new rifle? Did the famas have a problem being visible enough to fly a white flag?

At least for the civilian market in the US, the MR556 usually costs more than a SCAR 16.

The French are actually extremely fierce fighters. They could give the us a run for its money. Don't mistake their kindness for weakness

They're pretentious assholes. I've literally never met a Frenchman I haven't hated, and I've been to France.
They're pretty serious about war though.
