Strengths
- The FAMAS' burst fire will have the highest damage output on targets that are slow and/or large, i.e. Heavy contestants.
- The FAMAS has very low recoil.
- The FAMAS' highly accurate hip fire allows the user to have large target visibility at medium ranges.
Weaknesses
- The FAMAS' damage falls off at long distances. It also becomes more difficult to hit its full burst on a target from a distance.
- The FAMAS is not very forgiving, as missing shots can be very detrimental.
- An opponent will often be left at low health after depleting the FAMAS' magazine and having missed some shots, meaning they will likely be able to get away as the FAMAS' reload time is very long.
How to use it
- Firing should always be done while aiming down sights, unless the target is extremely close. Doing so greatly increases the accuracy of the FAMAS.
Community verdict
