So you use 25 bullets or a curved mag. Since the FAMAS was apparently designed with straight mags in mind (I assume they are cheaper to make and/or more durable). I guess soldiers with OCD can shoot the extra bullet semi auto after chambering it. Or maybe they load their mags with 1 less bullet and there's a guy running around with an extra mag filling it with these extra bullets /s.
In all seriousness though, I wonder if that has a part in the decision to move to the HK416. I would guess not, since I have never seen "real" criticism of the FAMAS on that basis (hell, I don't think I've ever seen someone have truly bad things to say about this rifle after using it, but I've never used one myself so what do I know). But I will try to investigate.
