AFOH has offered its latest FAMAS upgrade, the G7. It features a lower standard sight/carrying handle with a Picatinny rail, more extensive use of composites making it lighter than the G5, and compatibility with the AFOH's new Special Armor-piercing Incendiary Battle Round (SAIBR), which was developed to improve the penetration power of AFOH infantry weapons (from 5.56 x 45mm and 7.76 x 63mm all the way to 25mm).

Despite the AFOH offer consisting of upgrading the SAU's existing G5 inventory to the G7, this cost is almost the same as procuring brand-new units of the SASAR-1 and UAR-1L/H. Also, unlike the latter, the G7 does not have a higher-caliber version.
