angel_wings Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Out of complete pointless interest, how long does the suppressor extend into the foregrip and where and what battery are you running? Told you it was a little bit random! Wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Road_Dancer Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Heh, that's the trick! The protruding side of the receiver hides the point where the suppressor meets the body, meaning that the suppressor is basically exacty what you can see there. This keeps the entire hand grip stil usable for batteries, meaning I'm running 9.6V 2700-3000MAh NiMHs Certainly gives this stock internal gun the ROF to keep heads down!

angel_wings Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Ahh see the suppressor I use (while being much too fat) extends in, therefore meaning I either run a stick battery in the G36 rail or I do my current project and create a sort of 'Crane stock' affect on the rear end. Pics should be up on Airsoft Builds by the end of the week as I kind of want to neaten everything up a bit before I take some photos. But as this is a picture thread, here's a crappy picture (actually meant to be of my slightly browncoats/scifi inspired loadout) but there really was only one choice of gun to use!

Road_Dancer Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Look forward to seeing some more on that one! what little I can see is looking very promising! I'll get some WIP shots up when I get a chance to continue work on my next FAMAS project, doing a weird kinda FAMAS counter sniper thingie... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bando Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 does the FAMAS in Rl have a metal body? also how is the gearbox in the TM one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unit 318 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 One of the receivers is metal on the RS rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dliberty Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 does the FAMAS in Rl have a metal body? also how is the gearbox in the TM one? the tm gearbox shell itself is bomb proof. its slightly longer than a v2 or 3 gear box though so the same spring wont generate as much fps in it. the parts inside are all standard tm quality.

angel_wings Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) For reference I've found (with a standard Famas tightbore and cylinder) that a M105 spring will get you ~350fps and a M100 ~340 Oh and the standard gears have one of the fastest gear ratios (incl. aftermarket sets, I'll dig out the article) Basically mine was firing at ~350fps and still pumping out ~25rps (with a 9.6v) That was a year ago. I took it apart to downgrade it slightly the other day and there is no signs of wear on anything. So if you read any part of this post ==> Its a good gearbox!

Rich_Hogg Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 those famas pics with the carrying handle taken off and replaced with a g36 one, look damn nice , anyone have any instructions or a link to go about doing this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aimpoint Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 dremel and super glue is how i did mine just cut it flat to the upper,sand off and rough edges left,then glue your rail/g36 rail in place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Road_Dancer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I went for a little more rigidity, used epoxy, body filler and a bent metal plate up front to mount the rail in place. Other then that, yeh. Dremel off nice and flat, and attach! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longback2 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I originally thought of trying to make a halo battle rifle but then just got carried away. If I wanted to make a battle rifle would def use the type 97. This has classic army ver 2 gears, extreme fire mosfet, madbull black python II 509mm, day laser, G&P aimpoint scope. think it was a sp110, guarder, because the spring isn't as compressed in a ver 1. According to my chrono it's shooting 100m/s on the button with tiny variance, like .1 or .2 changes between shoots. did the m16 mag mod to. Is it just mine or does the ver 1 make a real racket? feels as if the piston is really wacking the front of the gb, has anyone dampened theres? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unit 318 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I really like that. Like I really enjoy that rifle. The side-mounted Aimpoint is just crazy. Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ACManiac Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hey umm... Do you guys know where I can get a tappet plate for a famas? my gun was churning out rounds and it snapped.... Here's a pic of my gun to go with the thread! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goldfinger Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Anyone put one of these on the famas instead of the standard G36c top rail? Or would it fit? http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=26292 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Here's my famas (I'm on the left) Ie, the one with the famas? Just kidding, I like the paintjob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unit 318 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Anyone put one of these on the famas instead of the standard G36c top rail? Or would it fit? http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=26292 I know people have done it and the eye relief is terrible. You'd be best off buying a C rail and adding your own optic. While I'm in this post, I'm going to be buying a Marui FAMAS very soon. If anyone owns both versions, which one do you think is better worth the $230 price tag, purely externally. I am leaning toward the F1 personally, because I used to have an SV springer and I think I want to switch it up, however if someone thinks the SV is better, I might just get it.

angel_wings Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Do you use a bipod on any other guns? Or do you find yourself prone defending much. Personally I prefer my SV (just because I like the big hand guard) but the best thing to do is ask yourself if you want dedicated sling points or a bipod? Oh and remember some people have attached slings to the front part of the carrying handle so just because you don't have sling points doesn't mean you can't have a sling! (and there's always 1 point slings anyway) Apart from the big obvious differences (sling points/bipod, hand guard, Outer barrel, the weird lip at the front of the fore-grip, etc) they are absolutely the same finish wise so you'd be better off picking for, either, what is more practical, or what you personally prefer. Both are nice and you shouldn't be disappointed by your choice. Wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikgor Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hi!!! I am one of the Famas users and I really like it!!! So, as I was reading this thread, I came across pictures of Famas with M203 от rails. And it just occured to me to do the same ))) All I need is a closer look at the rails attached to the handguard. Just to make it clear. Would anyone post them? PS. I have modified the MAG mid-caps to fit into my Famas without making any changes to magwell. They fit OK!!! As though they were meant for it ))) I'll post some pics when I get some time to make photos of my Famas. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nikgor Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well, here is my TM Fa-Mas F1!! Inside: GB - stock Inner barrel - Systema 6.04 Tight Barrel for G3 (469 mm) Outside: Red Dot - Aimpoint M68/CCO (replica) 5 MAG Mid-caps modified for Fa-mas (3 more are waiting for their turn).

ultimentra Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hey guys, I was wondering if there is any way to fit a suppressor to a JP FAMAS. I have my reasons for wanting to use the JP, I have owned a TM and I wouldn't want to change such a beautiful and expensive gun so I am using the JP for my base. Is it possibly to fit a suppressor and a 509 tightbore in it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
reaper16 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Yeah just put a different flash hider on that accommodates a suppressor.... and TB's should fit in a famas like any other AEG..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
