The '''FAMAG''', short for ''Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion'', literally "Assault Rifle of [[MAG]]", is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] assault rifle. Introduced in 1962, it is the primary service weapon of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] and has been given as lethal aid to [[New Harren]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. It is also the standard patrol carbine of the [[Custodes Yonderre]].  
The '''FAMAG''', short for ''Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion'', literally "Assault Rifle of [[MAG]]", is a [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] assault rifle. Introduced in 1962, it is the primary service weapon of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] and has been given as lethal aid to [[New Harren]] during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. It is also the standard patrol carbine of the [[Custodes Yonderre]]. Originally intended to replace the [[MM-26]] submachine gun and supplement the [[FC-43]] battle rifle in the assault role, the FAMAG soon replaced the [[FC-43]] altogether and became the primary service rifle of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]].


The FAMAG was designed by [[MAG]] between 1959-1961 with a general layout and gas system based on the [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}}. The FAMAG is a select fire weapon with the fire selector mounted on the right side, traversing vertically between safe, fully automatic and semi automatic. The FAMAG fires the intermediate [[7.5×42mm Yonderian]] cartridge, a shortened version of the [[7.5x62mm Yonderian]] used by previous Yonderian rifles. The [[7.5×42mm Yonderian|7.5x42mm]] is very similar to the {{wpl|7.62×39mm}} used by the Corummese type 56 but delivers a slightly higher muzzle velocity. The FAMAG feeds from 30 or 40 round magazines curved to account for the taper of the cartridge casings. The FAMAG was designed with an open three pronged flash supressor that doubles as a wire cutter which works by twisting the muzzle onto a strand of wire and firing a round.

The FAMAG was designed with an open three pronged flash supressor that doubles as a wire cutter which works by twisting the muzzle onto a strand of wire and firing a round.


The FAMAG has been continually modernized throughout its production with additions like threaded muzzles for taking suppressors, folding stocks, improved fire selector switches and {{wpl|Picatinny rail|rails}} for mounting optics, grips, bipods and lights. Following [[Levantine Union Defense Council]] standardization on the [[6.8x43mm]] cartridge, [[MAG]] has begun producing the rifle in the new cartridge and also offers a conversion kit to convert existing FAMAGs to the new caliber. As of 2026, [[7.5×42mm Yonderian|7.5x42mm]] remains the primary caliber used in FAMAGs of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]].

Designers at [[MAG]] received six [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle|Type 56 assault rifles}} in late 1958 and soon set about the process of reverse engineering the weapon. Exactly how MAG acquired the Corummese rifles is unknown, but it has been suggested by anonymous sources within [[MAG]] that [[Kiravia|Kiravian]] gun runners acted as middle men in the acquisition. The very first prototype, FA-X59, was chambered for the {{wpl|7.62×39mm}} caliber used by the Corummese type 56 and was still fed from Corummese magazines. Temporary production of the Corummese cartridge was set up at [[MAG]] while the company's ballisticians developed the intermediate [[7.5×42mm Yonderian]] cartridge. The new caliber would allow the recycling of much of the fabrication materiel already used for [[7.5x62mm Yonderian]]. The new intermediate cartridge also had better ballistic properties than the Corummese caliber, owing to higher muzzle velocity and tighter tolerances in production.

In 1960, the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] announced a project to supplement the [[FdC-43]] battle rifle by replacing it in the assault role with a new, lighter weapon. Foreign battle rifle designs like the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[SARM-1|SAR-40]] and [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] {{wpl|FN FAL|FAL}} were initially considered because of their lighter nature and shorter overall length than that of the [[FdC-43]], and a single written source from [[Army Procurement Command (Yonderre)|Army Procurement Command]] even suggested looking into acquiring the production rights to or wholesale importing of the [[Corumm|Corummese]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}}. Yonderian designs submitted included the FS-58 by [[FS]] (an intermediate design using the unsuccesful 6.5x39mm cartridge) and FdC-57 by [[AMS]]. [[MAG]] submitted their prototype for what would eventually become the FAMAG, known then as FA-X60. The [[MAG]] bid was selected by [[Army Procurement Command (Yonderre)|Army Procurement Command]] for further funding and development continued until 1962 when it was accepted for service as the FAMAG, short for ''Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion'', literally "Assault Rifle of [[MAG]]".

The FAMAG was originally introduced to supplement the heavier [[FdC-43]] battle rifle, giving soldiers a handier weapon for close quater combat and assaults, similar to employment of submachine guns by combatants in the [[Second Great War]]. Squad composition as put down by the [[Yonderian General Staff]] in 1962 was thus one [[SMG-59|Mitrailleuse mle 55]] machine gun, four FAMAG assault rifles and five [[FdC-43]] battle rifles per infantry squad. In 1967 this was changed to one [[SMG-59|Mitrailleuse mle 55]] machine gun, seven FAMAG assault rifles and two [[FdC-43]] battle rifles, and by 1972 the [[FdC-43]] had fallen entirely out of any and all future organizational planning in favour of the FAMAG, though FdC-43s were retained for reservists in case of war into the 1990s.

The FAMAG, short for Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Gabion, literally "Assault Rifle of MAG", is a Yonderian assault rifle. Introduced in 1962, it is the primary service weapon of the Yonderian Defence Force and has been given as lethal aid to New Harren during the Final War of the Deluge. It is also the standard patrol carbine of the Custodes Yonderre. Originally intended to replace the MM-26 submachine gun and supplement the FC-43 battle rifle in the assault role, the FAMAG soon replaced the FC-43 altogether and became the primary service rifle of the Yonderian Defence Force.

The FAMAG was designed by MAG between 1959-1961 with a general layout and gas system based on the Daxian Type 56 assault rifle. The FAMAG is a select fire weapon with the fire selector mounted on the right side, traversing vertically between safe, fully automatic and semi automatic. The FAMAG fires the intermediate 7.5×42mm Yonderian cartridge, a shortened version of the 7.5x62mm Yonderian used by previous Yonderian rifles. The 7.5x42mm is very similar to the 7.62×39mm used by the Daxian type 56 but delivers a slightly higher muzzle velocity. The FAMAG feeds from 30 or 40 round magazines curved to account for the taper of the cartridge casings. The FAMAG was designed with an open three pronged flash supressor that doubles as a wire cutter which works by twisting the muzzle onto a strand of wire and firing a round.

The FAMAG has been continually modernized throughout its production with additions like threaded muzzles for taking suppressors, folding stocks, improved fire selector switches and rails for mounting optics, grips, bipods and lights. Following Levantine Union Defense Council standardization on the 6.8x43mm cartridge, MAG has begun producing the rifle in the new cartridge and also offers a conversion kit to convert existing FAMAGs to the new caliber. As of 2026, 7.5x42mm remains the primary caliber used in FAMAGs of the Yonderian Defence Force.

Designers at MAG received six Daxian Type 56 assault rifles in late 1958 and soon set about the process of reverse engineering the weapon. Exactly how MAG acquired the Daxian rifles is unknown, but it has been suggested by anonymous sources within MAG that Kiravian gun runners acted as middle men in the acquisition.

Design features

FAMAG in modern configuration with hand stop and close combat optic mounted

The biggest single improvement over the Type 56 assault rifle the FAMAG is based on, apart from the metallurgical quality of the receiver and the overall quality of the barrel, are the sights: unlike the Type 56, which has the rear sight mounted on top of the gas piston housing on top of the receiver, the FAMAG rear sight is mounted on the rear of the receiver cover, effectively doubling the sight radius.

The gas tube is dove tailed into the front trunnion, and is a single-diameter tube, unlike the Type 56 tube, which has a star-shaped cross-section to guide the piston while allowing gasses to vent behind it. The gas piston has a cog shaped ring on the stem, behind the piston head. The ring's diameter matches the tube diameter, and it acts as the guide within the gas tube, the notches on the ring allowing excess gasses to be vented behind the piston head/guide. This system reduces the number of parts, and simplifies manufacturing as well as assembly/disassembly.

Operational history

The FAMAG was originally introduced to supplement the heavier FC-43 battle rifle, giving soldiers a handier weapon for close quater combat and assaults, similar to employment of submachine guns by combatants in the Second Great War. Squad composition as put down by the Yonderian General Staff in 1962 was thus one Mitrailleuse mle 55 machine gun, four FAMAG assault rifles and five FC-43 battle rifles per infantry squad. In 1967 this was changed to one Mitrailleuse mle 55 machine gun, seven FAMAG assault rifles and two FC-43 battle rifles, and by 1972 the FC-43 had fallen entirely out of any and all future organizational planning in favour of the FAMAG, though FC-43s were retained for reservists in case of war into the 1990s.

The FAMAG rifle has seen extensive use during the Final War of the Deluge in the hands of soldiers of the Yonderian Defence Force, the Royal and Confederate Army of New Harren and private military contractors like Intrepid Enterprises. The rifle's sturdy build and simple gas system allows the FAMAG to operate reliably even in extreme weather conditions with minimal maintenance.

Custodes Yonderre

SWAT teams of the Custodes Yonderre have used FAMAG rifles since the late 1960s as a heavier alternative to the 9mm MM-26 submachine gun. The use of FAMAGs was authorized with local readiness units of the Custodes Yonderre in 1986. Starting in 2012, over concerns of terrorist groups and increasingly dangerous gang activity, police cruisers of the Custodes Yonderre started carrying FAMAG rifles alongside the 9mm SMPM-4 submachine gun. The FAMAG is today considered the standard patrol carbine of the Custodes Yonderre.

Royal and Confederate Army

At the request of Commandant of the the Royal and Confederate Army of New Harren Guillaume d'Agostino, thousands of FAMAG rifles have been given as lethal aid to New Harren from Yonderre during the Final War of the Deluge. With Yonderian volunteers as instructors, the Royal and Confederate Army has received extensive training in the use and maintenance of FAMAG rifles and put them to use during the Final War of the Deluge.
