"TL;DR

Fun But Not Practical

Long

The Cybergun famas is a Tokyo Marui Clone. Its based on an old school AEG in other words.

Its fairly Reliable and feels great. However it is better as a fun gun instead of a run gun.

Mags are hella expensive. 30+ for a high cap.
Stock sights are bad and a top rail must be bought sperate.
Hopup is ehh.
Running. 20g bbs it shoots at around 370
I run .28g bbs for accuracy benefits but even with everything set up right it drops the fps down to 260
Also the semi auto fire sometimes stops functioning correctly and must be shot in full auto for a bit to work again.

It has 2 safetys and a gooft face charging handle that is fun but goofy.
The bipod is too short imo

However it shoots and looks cool. Doesn't use alot of charge and can be maintained cheaply parts wise.

4/5 get a cm16 as a first gun bois.

"This is my first airsoft gun, and compared to a basic Lancer Tactical Gen 2 M4, this gun performs decently. Mine shoots roughly 320 FPS with .25 bbs, which is lower than what was advertised. The gun does not shoot as accurate as I thought it would and tends to be inconsistent at 100+ feet. One other thing is that this gun occasionally jams, though it can usually be fixed within 20 seconds by playing with the fire selector. Despite its negatives, this gun in my opinion is still good for a beginners and I would recommend it to others.

To those wondering, the Famas uses a unique magazine that is incompatible with the M4, and no, the Famas does not come with an upper rail. Although Evike does sell the rail, they still have not delivered the one that I paid for after 2 weeks.

"Very good gun but I mine did not have spring in the magazine so I could not keep BBC from falling out only down side great gun and any replacement for spring

"This is the brand new FAMAS from Cybergun, and I can tell you right now it's better than the one before it. This thing has a full polymer outer finish with metal magazine, bipod legs, trigger guard, & outer barrel. I love the MOSFET on it, you have to set the selector to auto & the first shot is 3-round burst, hold it a half second longer and it's full auto. You have the option to adjust spring tension by removing the butt plate & using an allen key (included) to tighten/loosen the spring for more or less power. Interestingly enough, this comes with grenade sights, both direct fire sights on top of the carry handle and indirect fire sights in front of the charging handle (just like the real FAMAS). It comes with a battery but I was shorted a charger (not sure if its a mistake or not) and a vertical grip. I don't recommend using the grip because it's incredibly cheap feeling, and the mold hurt the web of my hand
Note: the selector in front is only a mechanical safety and handguard release - the actual selector is the switch behind the magazine

Pros:
Realistic construction - feels like a real steel FAMAS
Realistic low weight
Feels very sturdy
Incredibly comfortable
Accepts TM magazines
MOSFET
Adjustable sights
Adjustable spring tension
Integrated bipod
Adjustable hop-up
Basically has all features a real FAMAS F1 has, whether it has a use on the airsoft version or not

Cons:
Hi-cap mags
One of the bipod legs on mine felt loose when folding, I tightened it but this might be an issue to others
Picatinny rail on handguard - this is pretty specific to me but I'm not a fan of rails on a FAMAS
Hop-up is pretty obscure (under the dust cover - you need to remove it)

"This Gun Is Ridiculous.
1000RPM and Loud. Intense Uncontrollable Recoil. Mag is a pain to insert, cock lever is hard to pull, squeezy long trigger isnt practical for semi, and having 60rds in a mag will go in a fly, so you have to carry like 10 of em mags. This is the best gun i've own for going crazy bezerk. Range and accuracy is uncompetitive. And for cqb it's literally a bullet storm, so my local field doesnt let me use because it's longer then 19in :(

OK lol, now for the real review. I Had mines around for 2 years, im not sure if cybergun has done any 2016 updates, but im currently re-buying. Gearbox IS STEEL TOUGH, GEARS ARE STEEL WITH INDESTRUCTIBLE STEEL BEARINGS, better then tm imo. And replace pistol, pistol head, airnozzle and cylinder for better airseal and durability. I have no idea what range Stock barel and bucking gives me, still testing. Putting on a 11.1v will strip the teeth on the piston, so replace that. And upgrade motor, if you really want that 1000rpm. Use systema or eg1000 short and modify it.
So far, i like the gun. Just don't drop it, as some plastic part will break like the mag catch release

"I'll sum up the entire review now so you don't have to go through a wall of text.

The gun has nice build quality, especially durable when it needs to. Internals could use some work, as mine had a terrible gearbox locking issue, however gearboxes for this gun are EXTREMELY Cheap. Performance is great and the availability of magazines... not so much.

Pros
-Externally, the gun is made out of some pretty nice plastic in almost every part, but it does creak a little bit. It's not very noticeable during a match, as fire is going past you, and the parts that need to be metal, like the trigger, are made out of a solid metal. It's not pot metal, and it's DEFINITELY not hollow. In my opinion, it does at just a bit of weight, but hey, it adds a nice touch to it. Overall, the nice plastic and very nice metal are all pros of it.
-Internally, the gun is okay, but more on the good side. Usually, the gearbox inside of the gun brand new is amazing. It's shimmed enough to make a nice, smooth sound while shooting, and the rate of fire is great with a 9.6v, and the motor holds up very well. Stock, the spring is somewhere around the power of an M120, because I got 400+ fps. (Something you have to try is shooting the gun at night with a flashlight next to the barrel. You won't regret it.) If you ever need to replace the gearbox, you can find one on amazon for about $25, and it's like getting a hole new gun.

Cons
-Externally, the gun is a beast, but the weight is a little unrealistic and light. I wouldn't take off a point for this, but it's something to keep in mind if you're looking for a full, heavy metal replica. If you want to do a fast disassembly of the gun, be prepared to be frustrated and waste a few hours of your life. Each little hole has a different sized screw, and if you lose one, you're screwed (pun intended). The other problem I had with the externals was the battery compartment. It looks like it's huge and will hold any kind of battery. Of course, it does, but it will take some struggling to fit in any sort of large type or candy bar style battery. I'd recommend something like a butterfly type battery, or maybe think about taking off the foam in the handguard itself.
-Internally, the gearbox may not hold up. I did have some issues with the gearbox being locked up, so I decided to replace it. Thankfully, they are very available and cheap. The stock spring may not hold up for long, and the wire are soldered on the motor, meaning that they are a little delicate on the motor. Unfortunately, since this, and the TM Famas are the only AEG's to use a version 1 gearbox, very few techs will work, or even know how to work on the gun. If you do have a problem with the internals, it's worth just getting a hole new gearbox and saving yourself time.

Other thoughts
-I know that the gun is a F1 style famas, so it's not meant to take m4 style magazines, and famas mags are not that widely available, not to mention expensive; however, I do believe that there are ways to modify the gun to do so. If you are someone who likes to mess with their gun, this mod may be something t look into.
-Overall, the gun is great, and if you need to fix it, just buy a new gearbox. It's what I did, and that was probably the best decision of my airsoft life.

"So I personally bought the FAMAS; my first airsoft aeg, because of my love of the look and playing video games with it.

So far I've put everything together, and got to target shoot with it a few times.

Pros: Relatively cheap. Accurate. Bull-pup(personal opinion), sturdy but not too heavy.

Cons: Not digging the battery compartment, iron sights are difficult to use. No top rail mount is featured in this specific bundle. So if you plan on upgrading, youll have to buy the expensive rail mount of $40ish dollars. The FAMAS has specific mags that can only be used with the gun itself, and you get one mag with the gun, but mags are pretty cheap at $15, so no big deal. Also, loading the mag in, is kinda tricky, but youll just get used to it.

As of right now, i have gotten to try it out at a field, but will be soon, will provide update on performance.

If you're a big fan of the FAMAS, and plan to upgrade or use alot in airsoft, i reccomend buying the bundle scope and top rail aeg FAMAS for $200. Youll save money overall.

"Not bad at all for the price. The others reviews here are accurate to my experience with this AEG.
Some things to consider:
9.6V NiMh battery gives it a very very nice ROF but definitely is not good for the gun. The internals are just too flimsy to be moving that fast.
The gearbox is Ver. 1 and while it claims to be "fully upgradeable"... It is not. There are very few things you can do to the internals of this gun. So while it works well for a beginner at first, it cannot be taken much farther than that.
Externally, it looks sort of cute, and is CQB length, but its cheap. The 'iron' sights (I should really say plastic sights) are painfully easy to bump. There is no way to lock the windage or elevation adjustments so if you sit your gun down and pick it back up, it will probably be aiming wayyy off.
In my experience, M4 mags do not fit in this AEG, so you have to find those rare FAMAS magazines. I guess Marui ones are sold on evike, but they are too expensive.

All in all, its not a bad gun. But, unless you really want the distinct shape of the FAMAS, you should probably get a cheaper G&G m4 for its upgradeability, compatibility, and more practical form factor.
by Brendan K. on 06/03/2013
"Over all this is a very good gun. It has good power range and accuracy. The only issue i have had with this gun is the occasional electrical fluctuation which causes semi auto to sometimes stop working, but it can be fixed by switching to full auto or safe then back to semi. The magazine is not the best, but you can buy better ones here on evike. Over all this works well as an assault rifle, and as a dmr. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a bull pup rifle, or to anyone who wants a dmr set up.

"This is a great gun!!!!
I just got it a few days ago and i love it.
It has a really nice weight to it, almost as much as the real one.
I shot .25 gram BBs with it and they were consistently going about 180 feet.
It has a great rate of fire, its very accurate, and its nice and compact.
My one complaint is that the battery is a bit hard to get in, but nothing serious.
I also like that it came with a battery.

All around a great gun, especially for $150.00!!!!
