This is not yet confirmed, but the French Army in 2009 have been reported to searching for a replacement of the FAMAS rifle. Now, according to the Firearms Blog, they might adopt the Heckler & Kock HK416 according a trusted source. If this is true, then French will be the next to adopt it army-wide after the Norwegians. Whilst the HK416 is in use by other countries, it is limited to certain units such as their special operations forces.
