How good of a comparison can you come up for the M249 and FAMAS.

The M249 pretty much outclasses it.

Alright so let's compare these two. The FAMAS wins in price and rank, making it a lot better there, at first. The range of the FAMAS is considerably less than the M249's, but you dont shoot with these across the map, it's not what they're meant for. The accuracy is pretty similar between the M249 and the FAMAS, making it a pretty negligible. The FAMAS's rate of fire is pretty decent, but so is the M249's. The ammo count of both weapons are pretty good, but the M249 beats it. Vests only make the M249 even better in this stat. Both modes are Auto.

Now let's talk about the elephant in the room. THE DAMAGE. This little stat right here makes this comparison complete garbage and seperates them. The weak, pathetic FAMAS has 23 damage. The M249 has 95. You can kill a normal zombie with an M249 in 2 shots. The FAMAS needs 5. The M249 can kill a brute in less than 2 seconds if you aim right. The FAMAS takes so much more than that, and you'll have to reload in between that time guaranteed.

The FAMAS is meant to be weaker than the M249 by design. The M249 is a presteige weapon which costs a pretty decent amount of money for what you get. The FAMAS is not a presteige weapon at all. So comparing the FAMAS and M249 is pretty stupid considering these factors. The guns don't tie that well at all. The only places it does are in accuracy and ammunition, which are pretty negligble when you see any of the other stats.
