    So after playing fpsHG over a while, I started to see that the FAMAS does an insane amount of damage for a tier 1 weapon.

    Seen here that I was killed fairly fast even with 4/10 (8/20) armor on me. I propose a small damage nerf like 1 heart at least. It's a fairly OP early game weapon that does a lot.
    EDIT: Before you comment. Read this: What hit me was either headshots or bodyshots. What I'm saying here is that the headshots do massive damage for a tier 1 weapon.

    It killed you in roughly 3 shots, you were only full leather + Whatever bonus you had.
    I haven't been on fpsHG for some time but last time, I was 3/4 iron and was killed in like 5 shots to the head. It is an op tier like the old RPK.
    I think it should and shouldn't be nerfed.

    The damage just needs to be toned down a bit. Headshot damage could use just a small damage nerf.

    I wouldn't completely agree on this, like @Captain_Mark said, you were in horrible armor, I wouldn't say that the famas is overpowered but the damage may need a bit of a tweak.

    I can definitely see why the Famas needs a nerf. I believe that the Famas should have a damage nerf by 1-2 hearts considering that the Famas is a tier 1 gun. Everything else about the Famas is fine.

    I really don't know what to say here, I think it could maybe get a little damage nerf, +0. :V

    Headshots in fpsHG do a lot of damage. Yesterday I killed a 1/4 diamond (chest plate) with 1 ak-47 headshot. I don't know if he had full heaths, but when he came around the corner he immediately got killed when I started shooting. Now, this is the ak, a tier 4 weapon. The famas is a tier 1 weapon. But I think I like the amount of damage headshots give. It's a bit more realistic in my opinion, since you are shooting somebody in his head. I understand that it seems a bit weird that headshots do this high amount of damage. After a while, it will be fine. It makes the games a bit more challenging too.

    I don't believe it should be nerfed. Usually when you're aiming at someone, they're running and jumping up and down, which can make it really hard to hit them. Sometimes, it takes me an entire clip just to kill two full leathers. The only time the Famas is really effective is when someone is barely moving, or you've got the first shots at them from a really close range.

    The gun itself isn't that OP, but it's the headshot multiplier that really makes this deadly. It's so easy to get MC "head shots" and the huge multiplier makes it worse.

    I think the fire rate should be slower on it because it's power is good and it's headshot multiplier males it so good.

    They just need to remove the headshot damage buff and the gun will be fine... IMO...

    They shouldn't remove the headshot damage multiplier completely. Right now, I believe it's 100%, meaning that getting a headshot no matter what will always increase the damage significantly. What they should do is make the damage multiplier a different percentage for every gun.
