The military FAMAS has spawned several clones, and we are taking a look at each one of them today. First up is the Cybergun AEG airsoft FAMAS – a normal commercial production piece, but this one is surplus brought into the US by Navy Arms. It was used by the French National Police as a training tool – pretty neat. Second is the GIAT “Commando”, a CO2-powered FAMAS pellet rifle introduced in 1987. Third if the Unique F11, an X51 Bis semiautomatic.22 rifle inside a FAMAS-shaped shell, made in small numbers in 1983.

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
