Reason behind this thread is probably obvious, I'm 18 in 7 days and looking to get in with a friend that plays in Calgary. I've been on the forums and reading for quite a few months. So anyways to the meat of the sitution....

I've read very "mixed" reviews about the FAMAS, some swear by its high torque version 1 gearbox and ungodly RoF. But on the other hand, I've heard it creaks, breaks down, blah blah blah..... But still, I speak french as well as english and perhaps wanted to go for a french theme, and I havent lost all hope on the FAMAS.

Then recently, while looking at the Greman army composition, and browsing the pages of H&K site (Favorite gun manufacturor), I was inspired by the alternative choices of weaponry they posses over the old m16/m4 of the USMC. Anyways, i don't like the idea of mini batteries so the G36C was out of the question. Thats when i happend to see the G3, a gun I recognized from a old video game. I did some research, and many European nations seem to use it standardly, or modified (Norway).

Apart from my accidental ramblings, I am very inspired by European firearms engineering, and I tend to believe alot in TM. So, out of the G3 or G3(SG/1) and FAMAS, i wanted some experianced opinions. I have 700$ ATM, but i have a job so money isent a huge worry.

Thanks for reading through, this ended up a bit longer than I expected =/.

So, insights, experiances and thoughts!
