www.angelfire.com/de3/teamgras/fa-mas_pics.htmThats my gun w/ the red dot. I've also got metal bushings w/ a 150% spring in it and a tightbore barrel. Still shoots pleanty fast (ROF wise) it chronos right around 350fps and is pretty dead on at 20 yards. I cant remember what the part number on the rail is, i got mine from WTS, just asked them and he ordered it. Do a search on WGC and you should come up with something. -chuck

I forget who owns this particular Famas, but it just goes to show there's a lot you can do as far as external upgrades go.   |

heh, i found that page too before. Just to let you know though, about 98% of that gun is custom made. He's taken a dremmel tool and a power drill to that gun several times. I have yet to see any of those upgrades available in a kit. here's a pic of mine, there are some more things i'd like to add in the future but havent got the time or money to go about it right now. But its got the red dot you were interested in, more pics can be found at the link in my first post, this is my favorite.  |

Sadly, it seems you cannot upgrade the gun faster than its ~280fps since it is Tokyo Marui's oldest model (SV was the sixth) and is only a version 1 gearbox (560 motor only). I do like the look of the gun though, and I only say that you cannot upgrade it internally because I read it on airsoftplayers. I wouldn't doubt that someone was able to upgrade it, but I don't know anyone so please share.

I wouldn't doubt that someone was able to upgrade it, but I don't know anyone so please share. Read my first post on this thread. Mines shooting 350fps and actually the version 1 gearbox seems to be the strongest one marui ever built. I wouldnt recomend anything over 150% in it all the same, but you really dont need more than that for a non sniper gun anyway. France hasnt won shit for wars lately...or ever...but the famas is supurior to the armalites (sp?) in almost everyway possible. Higher rate of fire, more accurate, smaller, now if we could just get away from that pansy .22 round. As far as airsoft goes though, ive always said, if you dont like the looks of the gun dont get it, just an opinion thing. -chuck |

That's not a FA-MAS! Thats like the Frankenstien of Airsoft! OK, back on subject. I ADORE the FA-MAS, but I've heard from many people that it has a EG560 motor, and everything is set up so you can't get a better motor or gearbox for it. I don't know if any of these claims are true, but I hope not! Still, Marui need to make an updated FA-MAS with EG1000 motor, Version 3 gearbox, etc.
