Closing thoughts

The FAMAS is the Counter-Terrorist budget rifle option. It gives you everything you would expect from a rifle but does not excel at any of it.

In practice, players also tend to perform poorly with it unless they are experienced as its recoil pattern is trickier than many other weapons.

The FAMAS does have a more burst mode which will fire 3 rounds in succession. This mode is more accurate, but the gaps between bursts reduces the overall rate of fire significantly which results in reduced damage per second and less flexibility.

The M14 is a powerful rifle capable of dealing massive damage with high accuracy.
