Well it looks very like the French FAMAS. which I have got to hold, but never fired.
The site also says it is based on the FAMAS and the SA80, the FAMAS is alright but looks more at home in a programe like Stargate SG1 or some other scfi flick.
The FAMAS is a very solid reliable weapon its only real weakness is that it requires the french service 5.56mm for optimum performance whereas its competitors are all optimised for NATO 5.56mm.
