Meant for size and availability. Link you sent me = added to wishlist, because my battery sucked.

Cheers for that though.

famas uses a eg560 motor which was probably intended for a market of 7.2v batteries. I'm guessing it was TM's first AEG and that most have been over 6 years ago. Its under powered and makes a horrible "RERRRK!" sound at 400+fps. redwolf suggest a 9.6v 2300mah for a m90 spring. http://www.redwolfairsoft.com/redwol...il?bulletID=32
And the only reason it shoots so fast is because of the spring load is below 300FPS. Its a TM.

Famas use a 472mm barrel and the AUG uses a 509mm barrel. Using hi-caps can be awkward with bull-pups but you cant find a longer barrel in that size of a package. I don't think either have midcaps.

Get a CA AUG if for nothing else, for the after market parts so you can repair your gun easier.

I just havn't used it in the feild yet. So I can't honestly talk about its feild performance. Though I'm sure it is a formidable weapon.

Hehe, I haven't used mine in a game either (yay one on Sept 22 here), but it seems to be a tack driver.

Yeah, definately. I wonder why Marui discontinued the AUG Mil, I love the built-in scope.
Also, shoots harder then any stock Marui AEG (minus M14) I've tried in the last while, by the feel of it. Target shooting's a dream, but this Sunday will be the first skirmish I take it to.

Oops actually mine's the rail version. And it has an extended HBAR barrel. And I *think* the spring is slightly upgraded (I already ordered a new spring, coming in about a week or so).

The Aug has a futuristic aesthetic, some like some don't. It's genius how you can swap out front assemblies in seconds— go from a 400fps sniper set up to slapping in a CQB front that drops the fps right to a perfect 350fps.

The Famas was created by a teleportation acident, where an ugly suitcase was merged.

How does that work? You would need to take out the mechbox and change the spring.

OK.... that made me snort... quit it!

As far as replicas of guns... I don't think you can actualy do much better than an AUG...without going significantly up-market, everything metal on the real gun is metal on even the TM version.

They are solid... weighty... and cool looking... in a space marine kind of way...

do not wear bug juice on your face while using one.... dissolved stock stuck to face..... not pretty...

same with the famas, well to get the mechbox out anywho, three screws and the trigger rod connector and its out. the front end it pretty ghey to take apart tho.

i love the look of the famas, not big on the aug, HOWEVER you can only put a g36c rail on place to make it look cool (or go ballistic and do the p90/g36/famas mod) but if you get the augA3 kit.... mmm-mmm...mmm..mmm..mmm. so beautiful. famas is v1 which is sturdy, but dated and difficult to upgrade. aug is v3 which is one of the best designs.... although i lov ethe famas, the aug is a better rifle.

Nope if you upgrade an AUG to fire 400fps with the long front end, the cylinder set-up will lose fps when the short assembly is installed, usually this is a bad effect but since the AUG is soo easy to swap you can turn a negative into a positive. I've got a Patriot kit on an M4 m120 mechbox, and it's only getting 280fps with the extremely short inner barrel, I need to install an mp5K setup to get a quicker/shorter cycle. Colin_S is a great teacher.

Ha! glad to help clear the sinuses Bri

Try 15+ years ago.

All though I love the AUG i will say this, paying $60 for a mag sucks ass. With the fames you can use m4 mags with the conversion
