The FAMAS replaced the rifle FSA MAS 1949-56 in caliber 7.5 mm and the submachine gun MAT 49 in caliber 9 \u00d7 19 mm Parabellum.<\/p><p>The first version of FAMAS called F1 is sold more than 400,000 times in France and in some other countries ( Djibouti , Gabon , Senegal and United Arab Emirates ) and sometimes given to allied countries. Giat Industries then produces a G1 variant that serves as a transition to the G2 . The latter complies with the NATO standard STANAG 4719. In France, the G2 is in service with the French Navy.<\/p><p>Designed as the most modern of its time , but complex to maintain , this weapon was not massively purchased by any other country due to its high cost (almost twice that of an American M16- assault rifle ) . Moreover, the French staff had initially rejected requests for export of this weapon to quickly satisfy the needs of the French army , Western armies at that time often more common weapons of American , Belgian (FN) or Austrian ( Steyr AUG ) origin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72d7af0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"72d7af0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1878\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.home-of-famas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/shutterstock_1121662637-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a9fa035 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a9fa035\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-df04545\" data-id=\"df04545\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f5ce05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8f5ce05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Between 1980 and 2015, FAMAS was deployed by French soldiers in various military operations.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-985908d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"985908d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>1982: Multinational Security Forces in Beirut (FMSB) in Lebanon, then United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).<\/li><li>1983-1984: Operation Manta in Chad.<\/li><li>1986-2014: Operation Sparrowhawk (replaced in 2014 by Operation Barkhane ) in Chad.<\/li><li>1992-1999: Iskoutir operation in Djibouti.<\/li><li>1990 and 1992: Operation Noro\u00eet in Rwanda.<\/li><li>1992: UN Sarajevo Force in Bosnia.<\/li><li>1995-1996: Stabilization Force (SFOR) and Implementation Force (IFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/li><li>1996: Almandin operation in the Central African Republic.<\/li><li>1997: Pelican Operation in the Republic of Congo.<\/li><li>2000: Kosovo Force (KFOR) in Kosovo.<\/li><li>From 2003 to 2014: war in Afghanistan.<\/li><li>2002, 2004, 2006 and 2010: Operation Licorne in the Republic of C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire.<\/li><li>Since 2013: Operation Serval (then Barkhane ) in Mali.<\/li><li>Since 2014: operation Chammal (in Iraq and Syria ): Participation in the coalition against the Islamic State.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Specifications Country: France Firing modes: three-round burst \/ semi-automatic \/ automatic Specification: assault rifle &#8230;
