FAMAS FELIN in Mali

The French seem to have small quantities of the current FAMAS FELIN (Fantassin à équipement et liaisons integrées) assault rifle with them during their intervention in Mali (second soldier from the right). The weapon features an integrated foregrip in an interesting design and a mounting rail for accessories instead of a carrying handle. The French FELIN program is comparable to the German IDZ (Infanterist der Zukunft).
