My thoughts exactly. More guns need better UX design. The Garand had its ping, this gun has its dud-dud, the barret 50 cal blows a lil hiss of gas out the bottom of the mag when its empty like an exasperated sigh, the P90 you can literally just see the last round get sucked into its witchcraft mechanism.
A proper tactile, audible and visual feedback with practical application is called a bolt hold open and it even speeds up a reload.
Wondering if you felt x-1 rounds leave the rifle to determine if a reload is needed is the kind of engineering that made even the french abandon this for a german made HK416
As much as I love shitting on the French for being terrible with numbers (seriously, how the fuck is the word for '99' 'four-twenties, a ten, and a nine'?!?) this one seems intentional so you can feel when you run out.
Because way back when, before sensible systems, they used base-20, and despite now running base-10, the base-20 is stuck in the language.
Edit it's sort of in most languages actually, not just to that extent. I mean, English has "twenty-one", but no "onety-one". 1-20 have their own numbers in most languages I think, and after twenty you just repeat the first 10 and add whatever tens you like, whereas the French sometimes repeat the first 20 and add an amount of twenties
But you have teens? Thirteen, fourteen etc? It's just that a dozen was kind of special, so eleven and twelve are kind of irregular, but afterwards it's just ordinary base 10, isn't it?
But, that's still a single press of the trigger. Perhaps it is more accurate to say a single trigger squeeze, rather than press, but it remains true that it will fire all three rounds with you depressing the trigger once.
What? It’s the FAMAS…and certainly not the only military rifle with 3 round burst. It also has single fire and full auto. Many magazines are in multiples of 5, so unless the user only carries 30 round magazines there will always be an odd one left if burst fire is the only mode used.
