FAMAS

Acronym for "Fusil Automatique, Manufacture d'Armes de St. Etienne". The standard-issue French assault rifle of bullpup design, first put into production in the late 1970's, and later rechambered to comply with NATO standard 5.56 rounds. The FAMAS is still in use today and is, in the submitter's opinion, one of the only decent products France has ever managed to produce.
