'''MODS CLOSED MY LAST THREAD DUE TO FLAME WARS WHEN THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NONE. THANKS. '''

'''There was one short argument between me and one person at the beginning of the thread, and some people were against it. I replied and asked for reasons why. There was only one thing half-resembling a flame war, and the thread was closed. I'm either being censored or someone needs to check up on what a "flame war" is.'''

This is ridiculous. There are so many balance issues within the game, and the fact that the FAMAS is at Rank 18 for 42,000 when there is virtually no reason to purchase it for that price or at that rank is extremely easy to fix. It does less total damage than both the automatics below it in rank and price, and also does less DPS. All it has is a slightly higher clip size (more total ammo, less total damage. I don't think it's a good trade-off). Sure, it feels nice to use, but the gun is an absolute waste of money on paper. In real situations? Still garbage. Use the M249, AK-47, SPAS, Flamethrower, Thompson ... anything decent that isn't this weapon.

You have the SPAS at Rank 18 along with the FAMAS. The SPAS is a relatively balanced weapon, useful in a lot of situations, and essentially a straight upgrade to the lower ranked shotgun, the Wingmaster. What do you get from upgrading to the FAMAS from the AK-47 or the Thompson? Minus 42,000 gold for a slightly higher total ammo count, a lot less damage, and a long reload time. The accuracy and range changes are negligible.

The FAMAS does 23 damage a bullet, firing at 750 RPM, or 12.5 bullets a second (rounded UP for calculations. Should be rounded down, but even then the calculations show it's a waste of money). 13 * 23 = 299 DPS. Decently close to the Thompson and AK-47, but that's rounded up. Even then, DPS does not account for total damage, which is a pitiful 1932 (23 * 84). The AK has 1960 (OK, really close), and the THOMPSON HAS 2700. (Maybe the AK needs a buff too, but I believe the short reload time and great accuracy and range make up for it). Oh, and let's look at the other rank 18 counterpart, the SPAS. 352 DPS, 3168 total damage.

The two rank 18 guns face off! In the red corner, the FAMAS, a decently priced automatic weapon, "[not] nearly as OP as the original FAMAS" (for sure), with 299 DPS (rounded UP, THE ACTUAL DPS IS 276), and with 1932 total damage! In the blue corner, the SPAS-12! 352 DPS and 3168 total damage! Which should you buy?

Yeah. No contest.

I really want to use the FAMAS. I love the automatics. But when I hit rank 18, there's no point to buy the FAMAS until it's changed.

Literally all it needs is 28 damage per bullet. That would give it 336 DPS and 2352 total damage. Respectable, for sure. Still not as strong as the SPAS, but oh well. 28 damage per bullet. Change a three to an eight in the code.

Please.

For further reasons, let me talk just a bit more about how BAD the FAMAS is compared to other weapons. The M16A1, a rank 10 weapon costing much less than the FAMAS with comparable accuracy and range stats has only 18 less DPS and actually MORE total damage. The WINGMASTER is a RANK 6 WEAPON that has more TOTAL DAMAGE and costs $32,500 less.

It makes NO sense.
