Fabrique Nationale FN F2000

The FN F2000 represents the next step in FN assault rifle design for the new century.

Bookmark and Share

The FN F2000 is a next-generation weapon developed by the Belgium firm of Fabrique Nationale. It utilizes the proven bullpup configuration in the operation of both an assault rifle and grenade launcher elements and can be ambidextrously utilized with no modification to the system whatsoever.

The system itself is lightweight and comparably compact for an assault rifle featuring a full-length barrel. Spent ammunition cartridges are ejected forwards and away from the firer. The base design is engineered with the future in mind, thusly add-ons will be made available for the life of the rifle. The entire system itself is billed as supremely modular, letting the mission specifics dictate what form the rifle will appear in on the battlefield. The FN F2000 also features a standard (but removable) 1.6x optical telescope sight and fires the standard NATO 5.56x45mm round.

The FN F2000 features an underslung 40mm grenade launcher with pump-action rotary locking operation. Implementation of the launcher with the assault rifle portion adds merely an inch to the overall length of the weapon system and about 2 lbs to the overall weight. The existing pistol grip of the main gun operates the grenade launcher trigger as well, minimizing the need for the user to change hand positions to fire the grenade launcher portion.
