POTD: Mission Lynx (France)

    I know from previous Photo’s Of The Day that any French FAMAS action is appreciated. Here we have a
    bunch together with the Heckler & Koch HK416Fs (well at least one visible) that are being phased into the French Army.
    300 soldiers, 13 Personal Carriers and 4 Leclerc Main Battle tanks of the sub-group mainly armed by the second foreign infantry regiment, participating in the reinforced advanced presence posture eFP arrived in Estonia and integrated into the battalion

    Below: The bullpup rifle called FAMAS, from Fusil d’Assaut de la Manufacture d’Armes de Saint-Étienne. Note the sniper rifle as well, but doesn’t look like a PGM Hécate II Sniper Rifle.

    More FAMAS. It would be interesting to know the soldier’s view of the FAMAS.
    From the information we know that the French Army seem very happy with the capabilities of the HK416F. Check this source: Heckler & Koch 416F deployed in Sahel, Africa
    FAMAS or the HK416F – which would be your choice? With an Aimpoint or the EOTech?
