Twitter: / maitreluger Instagram: / maitreluger After the Second World War, France will be able to resume research into new modern firearms. From the 1960s, we will try out weapons in service in other armies, including the Kalashnikov, M16, FAL, G3 rifles, etc. The chief engineer of the armament works of the Manufacture d'Armes de St-Etienne, Paul Tellié, will design prototypes for a new assault rifle. Some of his prototypes work with a gas borrowing and a classic configuration, others were bullpups. At this time, the choice of cartridge has not yet been decided. Moreover, Paul Tellié, during a trip to the United States, met Eugene Stoner, the "father" of the M16, with whom he discussed and agreed that an intermediate ammunition like the 5.56x45mm was the future. In 1968, Paul Tellier and his teams continued research on what would become the FAMAS and the MAS produced two prototypes that were tested on January 13, 1969. In April 1975, Yvon Bourges, the Minister of Defense at the time, announced that the new assault rifle of the French army must be of French design. Once this decision was made, it was necessary to embark on the final development of the FAMAS, which would go through various versions and numerous tests to ensure its reliability and determine certain characteristics such as the number of grooves, and the burst limiter that was not part of the initial specifications would also be added. In May 1977, the weapon was officially adopted and the Manufacture d'Armes de St-Etienne was going to prepare for the production of these weapons which would not begin until July 1979. In all, a little over 350,000 rifles were manufactured between 1979 and 1992 which was the last year of manufacturing of the FAMAS.
