They might find themselves jealous as they get to use a decent rifle for once...
but the A2 pisses all over the FAMAS.

Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

proven in combat - the A2 is now a world class weapon.
having fired the FAMAS quite a few years ago now - it had a lot of recoil from what i remember for a 556 - probably why it has the bipod legs as standard?
i agree it was better than the A1, you may not agree the A2 is better than the FAMAS, but the A2 certainly is a 'decent rifle'.
anyhow, we digress, i'm looking forward to seeing the pics and getting feedback from some of the lads headed out to France.
