In 1992, they made the first "clone" AEG, or automatic electric gun. They referred to the Marui Famas gearbox, and made the Academy L85. This gun used to have no hop-up (until very recently when one with a fixed hop-up was made), and due to Korean laws on airsoft gun power, the gun's velocity is 200 ft/s (61 m/s) with .2 gram BBs.
Tokyo Marui was the first company to introduce airsoft guns powered solely by electric motor gearbox-driven spring-piston assembly in 1992, which they called "automatic electric gun" (AEG). This compact air pump system was implemented in their first battery-powered automatic firing replica, the FAMAS F1. Other airsoft guns were then introduced.
The FAMAS was also susceptible to malfunction on occasion due to poorly built, or rather improperly used, magazines. The FAMAS was designed around the concept of single-use, disposable magazines; when the limited budget of the French military forced soldiers to repeatedly reuse the disposable magazines, the FAMAS would experience malfunctions.

Improved FAMAS F1 Félin system. Between 1997 and 2000, the Félin programme was in its demonstration phase, focusing primarily on: communications, observation (day and night, by trying to increase range), protection (detectability: visual, acoustic and electromagnetic, protection against attack), power/energy and mobility (system weight, ergonomics, location and navigation aid).
The FA-MAS Type 62 is a 7.62×51mm NATO rifle developed by the French Army as a replacement for the MAS-49/56. [1] [2] It was the last in series of 40 different prototype rifles designed between 1952 and 1962.
Its final form the MAS 49-56 was the French service rifle until adoption of the FAMAS. As a service rifle , the MAS-49 replaced the diverse collection of aging bolt-action rifles ( MAS-36 , Lee–Enfield No4 , M1903A3 Springfield , U.S. M1917 , Berthier , and K98k ) which had been absorbed into French service after the end of World War II .
