Im brand new to the Airsoft community and im still in the process of buying my first weapon, i have exactly 500$ to use on this expensive hobby and im wondering if the FAMAS is a good starting weapon

^Oh ho... not a bad idea to go and ask such a thing in SOMEONE else's thread. I'm not going to flame you. Just going to say that this is an inappropriate question in an innappropriate thread. Start by looking through out the Information Section and then ask questions that aren't being asked on a daily basis. You can make sure they aren't using the search button and trying at least 3 different searchs. Please do not respond to this post as I will conclude that you did not understand.

Back to topic now: Love them Famas' ! I'm still not convinced if i get one or a Steyr AUG as I love bull up rifles.

the famas is a good rifle but theres very little add-ons, no metal bodies and compared to other TM guns its the most plasticy feeling.

Famas is alot of fun for a bull pup, bipod is nice to stablize ur shots, but my only complaint is the sights, I always get a kink in my neck trying to use them. As for the plastic body, it makes for easy attachment of rails and any other items u feel like.

Yay! Easy ghetto mod! :D
