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 [[Daxia|Daxian]] {{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 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 was designed by [[MAG]] between 1959-1961 with a general layout and gas system based on the [[Daxia|Daxian]] {{wpl|Type 56 assault rifle}}.
