This video details the FAMAS G2, a modernization of the French bullpup rifle specifically developed for the French Navy in the early 1990s. It highlights the evolution from the F1 pattern, designed for 55-grain ammunition and proprietary magazines, to the G1 for international sale, incorporating a faster twist rate for 62-grain NATO ammunition and NATO-standard magazines. The G2 reintroduces features like bipod legs and grenade launcher hardware that were omitted in the commercial G1. A total of 10,000 G2 units were produced, marking the end of FAMAS production and GIAT's involvement in small arms manufacturing. The video thanks the French Ministry of the Interior for access to this rare rifle.
