Well I love the FAMAS still too. Stuck with both. :fa: I'm bipolar when it comes to guns.
Here's the stats from BF3.
Auto Fire: Yes
Single Shot Fire: Yes
Burst Fire: No
Rate Of Fire: 800
Ammunition: 30 [5.56x45mm NATO] (At 650m/s, the fastest of any AR)
Range: LONG
So basically, it has great stats. It might not blow you away with 1,000 rpm or a 7.62 round...but I'll get to that in a second.
-This gun has the best possible recoil. It has slightly more upwards recoil than the AEK, but this gun has the lowest horizontal recoil out of all the ARs. Add in a grip, and the only existent recoil is up. It's very manageable. Then the ROF doesn't kill you with recoil. I use heavy barrel and even with that, it has barely any recoil. The 5.56 has just as much killing potential as a 7.62 SCAR or G3 without the recoil.
-The rpm. I feel like 800rpm is the perfect rate of fire. I used to like the FAMAS that shoots 1,000rpm. But I've realized that that's way too fast. You run out of bullets after killing one guy. You'll burst for a second to take out a guy, then move to your next target with only 10 rounds left in your clip. It's just too fast to be practical at anything past 25m. Then there are other guns that shoot 600 or so, and that's way too slow. With 800rpm, you can spray at close from the hip and win 85% of encounters but also be able to shoot 10 rounds from any range for a kill. It's the perfect medium.
-There's little things I like about it too. The reload is really fast, the front sight post stays there when you have a sight, so it helps a lot with accuracy, and I feel like a boss destroying people with a starter weapon.
Tl;dr go use the M16A3. It's amazing. I'll even make a class for you... American RDS, Grip, Heavy Barrel. Back it up with an M320 and G18 suppressed.
