Review: CYMA FAMAS

JLiang · February 16th, 2012, 10:40

Thanks, lol.

Just be careful about all the other Cybergun brand FAMASes out there that are either
1. Spring powered
2. Plastic internal-ed (:shrug: )
3. Just overall suckish.

New photos up! Just a couple to show you what it would look like with an optic (in this case, an Aimpoint CompM2).

Awesome Review. My wife just bought herself one of these, and was concerned as to the quality. Good to see she didn't do too badly. She likes it cause her boobs don't get in the way as much,compared to her M4.

Um, what?! Alright. Glad you enjoyed it. The construction, of course, won't rival a CA or a Real Sword or the likes, but for its price range, it's pretty good.

Awesome to hear that I'm not the only one with this rifle, too!

Tell your wife she's got a pretty amazing rifle in her hands.

Thanks for the great review. I enjoyed reading this on my lunch break!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Very well composed for someone under 18 hope you stay with the community and get AV'd!

JLiang · March 2nd, 2012, 15:00

Yeah... That's not gonna be for a while...

But I'm definitely going to stay with the community. Thanks!

Update: Hop-up pics in. The general review was also completely reinstated with new information.

Just for your reading pleasure.

Good photos and details. It is a nice work.
Though, are you sure about the 7mm metal bushings? On my (ex)Cyma/Cybergun, it is 6mm metal bushings.

JLiang · March 15th, 2012, 18:42

Hm. That seems more likely. I'll check.

Edit: Yeah, they're 'prolly 6mm. Thanks!

Half-Update: Full-black almost in. Pics when the remaining 25% is painted and the rifle is assembled this weekend. Stay tuned!

JLiang · March 20th, 2012, 19:23

Update: Full Black body now in! The pics are at the bottom, but my eventual goal is to just have the black body in the entire review so your eyes don't have to burn looking at charcoal-clear.

In the meanwhile, though, you'll have to wait a bit, and just look at the pics I've already put up. Enjoy!

This is going to be my first gun, and this review was a big part in the decision making process, thank you so much!

JLiang · November 17th, 2014, 23:59

Glad to hear you liked it!

The rifle is a pretty decent beginner gun if you're looking for something other than a run-of-the-mill AK or AR platform.

Just be mindful of the proprietary mags and the painful internals, but if you don't screw with it, she'll serve you for a long time.

Have fun with the FAMAS!
