Fn F2000 Rifle

Fn F200 Assault Rifle

 

Introduction

The F2000™ is a compact and reliable assault rifle that can be fitted with a wide range of integrated modules or accessories to meet present and future requirements for various types of missions. Its modular design enables the customer to upgrade the rifle with evolving technologies such as electronics, aiming systems and accessories.
  • High Modularity
Integrated Grenade Launcher
The F2000™ Standard is supplied with a standard handguard, which the user can replace with a 40mm low velocity grenade launcher within a few seconds.

The integration of the grenade launcher onto the F2000™ has been developed to retain outstanding ergonomics and balance as well as smooth contour of the rifle.
The user can pull either the rifle or the grenade launcher trigger easily without changing hand position. This ensures easy manipulation, quick aiming and accurate shooting.

This design makes the F2000™ unique compared to traditional rifles available on the market today.


Triple Rail Handguard
The standard handguard can also be replaced with a Picatinny type triple rail handguard to receive various accessories, such as laser pointer, tactical light and handgrip.
This model is called F2000™ Standard TR.

Ambidextrous

Other bullpup rifles either can only be used right-handed or must be modified for left-handed shooters.
By ejecting cases to the front, the F2000™ allows safe shooting by left-handers without modifications.
The magazine catch and fire/safety selector are fully ambidextrous.

Ergonomics
With its smooth outer shape and its centre of balance directly over the strong hand, the F2000™ rifle is easy to carry and well balanced for shooting.

High Hit Probability
The F2000™ Standard uses an optical sight with 1.6x magnification, which ensures a high hit probability up to 400m.

Reliability, Endurance and Resistance to Corrosion

The receiver fully encloses the operating mechanism, giving very reliable functioning in adverse conditions.
The use of modern polymers makes it highly resistant to impacts, and immune to corrosion.

The Libyan Revolution
Libya purchased 367 F2000 rifles along with other assorted lethal and non-lethal weapon systems from FN Herstal in 2008, and deliveries commenced in 2009. In the 2011 Libyan Revolution, Libyan revolutionary forces captured a number of these weapons from forces loyal to the Gaddafi regime.
