The FAMAS assault rifle is a bullpup configuration, with the ammunition feed behind the trigger.
The receiver housing is made of a special steel alloy, and the rifle furniture is made of fiberglass.
The rifle uses a lever-delayed blowback action, an action type also used in the French AA-52 machine gun derived from the prototypes built during Army Technical Department tests having taken place between the First and Second World Wars.
