Default Famas VS. M16A4

I'm an ACR guy, I like full-auto weapons. I tried switching things up for a burst-fire weapon because I can kill anybody with a Raffica. So I tried the FAMAS and went 14 kills-16 deaths on TDM.
Is the M16A4 any better than the FAMAS?

The differnce is negligable. The M16 iirc is slightly more powerful at range and has a glitch if you use the holo sight that stops damage drop off.
The Famas fires it's burst faster and is statistically the best AR to put a silencer on (ex fal).
tbh it's mainly a matter of preference. Me I love the Famas, it feels surgical, like a scalpel. I use it with silencer or red dot. My second fav AR after the scar.
I think I am correct in everything about the damage but if you want to check. Goto Denkirson.

Sweet that Denkirson site helps. I notice the M16 is faster in reload and ADS speed. Thank you, Skuh.

Yes, if you use the Famas I highly recommend SOH. Makes a big difference. M16 it helps but can be easily managed without SOH.

I prefer the M16 because it's damn American. But the Famas is probably better I suppose.

FAMAS to me just feels better. And you also have it from rank 1 instead of rank 40.

I prefer the FAMAS over the M16 because I like the irons more and it doesn't have much recoil. I like it with SOH or silenced. I like the sound of the FAMAS too.

After talking about the Famas, used it today and was on a 23 killstreak with it (KS got 3 kills) before running out of time (never gonna get this f$%£%$**&ing nuke). About 16 of which came from the Famas thank you backup weapon Spas for the rest. So blow a raspberry to Pants and say Vive le France.

Wrong.

M16A4 is less powerful at range but has a faster reload and draw time. The Holo Sight reduces recoil to less than the FAMAS.

Also, the M16A4 and FAMAS both fire at 950 RPM per burst.

Ah yes. I was thinking of the fal. Getting my Holo glitches mixed up.

I believe the holo gives the M16 less recoil.

Hey Skuh, you used the FAMAS and almost got a nuke. You know why you didn't actually get a nuke? The Famas is french.
