-The FAMAS is rated like all rifles 1 accuracy, but shouldn't it get for the latest years a 6 just like all othe assault rifles with added optics. Troops deplyed in conflicts have those optics...

I have seen that the PvP (petit véhicule protégé for light protected vehicule) is already deployed even in Afghanistan and in other units. It's a small utility vehicule that will replace the old Peugeot P4 when protection is needed. However no way to find in Encyclopedia nor in French orbat or German (called Gavial) or Chile's orbat.

Thanks for answers ansd sorry for poor english.
The stock FAMAS has no inbuilt optics, so has not got the adjustment that other modern assault rifles (ACOG, SA80 etc) do.

Wikipedia does show a "FAMAS Infanterie" with a rail and added sights - but does not make clear if it is issue, limited issue, or a manufacturer's sales brochure item. I could easily be persuaded to make a FAMAS-I weapon (or whatever its acronym should be?) similar to the US ACOG units, if enough evidence is provided. Perhaps as a limited issue item to a few select elements.


Cheers
Andy
