FN F2000

    The FN F2000 is a 5.56 mm caliber bullpup assault rifle, designed by the company FN Herstal in Belgium. The FN F2000 made its debut in March 2001 at the IDEX defense exhibition held in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. The FN F2000 is a bullpup design weapon, with selective fire system, and uses the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO compact ammunition. The rifle is made up of two main parts that are the frame of the barrel and the main frame, coupled together by a pin shaft located above the trigger guard. Over the barrel has Picatinny rails, with which you can attach different accessories such as optical sights, reflex, etc. The main frame contains the trip unit, the closing and the closing device, the return mechanism and the charger.


    The FN F2000 is operated by automatic back-off system, and is a fully ambidextrous rifle. But the security system and the trigger mechanism were taken from the P90 sub-machine gun. The selector is a disk located under the trigger, which fulfills double function and ensures against accidental firing (the selector has 3 positions: "S" - safe, "1" - semiautomatic mode, "A" - automatic mode). The "safe" position disables the trigger. The group of hammer and springs are made of steel, while all the other components are made of injection molded nylon, and the outside of the rifle is made of composite materials.

    One of the most notable characteristics of the FN F2000 is the fact that the pod ejector (bushings) is oriented in the direction of the barrel, completely parallel to it, whereby the empty pods are repelled towards the front of the gun, in the same direction to which the weapon points, which allows its use to right-handed and left-handed people. The FN F2000 uses standard NATO loaders (STANAG charger) with a capacity for 30 cartridges. The magazine retention / release button is installed symmetrically on the pistol grip on the front of the magazine; The magazine retainer is operated by a large actuator. The F2000 is not factory set with a free-fall charger system due to the friction of the removable dust joints. You have to remove the charger manually. The rifle does not have a latch retention device, and this is not open after firing the last cartridge.

    One of the modules developed for the F2000 system is a GL1 grenade launcher with a patented light weight of 40 mm (empty weight - 1 kg) that uses standard 40 × 46 mm low speed grenades. The launcher is a single-breech reversed-pump action weapon with a barrel that slides forward to load and unload (such as the M203 grenade launcher), blocked by the axial rotation of the barrel.

    The trigger of the grenade launcher is installed directly under the trigger of the F2000 so that it can be manipulated without removing the firing hand from the grip of the rifle. The double action trigger allows the operator to "try again" if the percussion primer of the grenade does not turn on. The breech release button is located on the left side of the launcher body, as in the M203. The grenade launcher comes with a basic bascule staircase view, but was intended to be used with a specially designed optoelectronic fire control system designated FCS, developed in cooperation with the Finnish company Noptel.

    The aiming module is installed in place of the standard optical sight and becomes the main sight of the weapon when mounted, but its main objective is to accurately determine and indicate the range of a grenade target. The module is powered by a 9 V battery pack, installed in the inventory, behind the magazine compartment. The power pack is also intended to power any other accessory or tactical system that can be introduced. The FCS integrates a low power laser rangefinder (with an accuracy of ± 1 m), a diurnal orientation channel with an electronically projected graticule, a measured range screen reading and a diode elevation adjustment indicator.
