He should change the title to "bulliest bestpup"

FN2000 is bestpup just like Veronica Santangelo is bestgirl

Alternatively, “I have said, if you’re going to go with a bullpup, this is one of the bullpups on the market”.

@@Motoboo_Marine sometimes I wonder if it is even possible to get out of r/NewVegas.

Especially as the X95 is far better. 😉

I do wonder how loading a new mag, potentially jamming mud up into the action, would've gone.

@@bitfunk24 Especially that gritty mud they have there

They just need to start selling custom gaskets for aftermarket magazines like PMAG.

@@DejectedCat the problem with the pmag is the horizontal ribs would make trying the seal that mag hard.

That's a boat. Maybe it is looking for mud XM8s.

mudskipper go brrrrrrrr

I thought I was imagining that!

I was questioning where the cases were, and then it went BLUH and spit them all out, that was great

Lol:)

@@chatdeblanc yees! "Is it going to break? It is, isn't it?" *Ejection port barfs a stream of casings* "Well, OK then."

You have opened my eyes. That was indeed cool as hell.

A little? He's purple. My man got toasted.

Well, at least it is not yet another AR.

@@sir0herrbatka well, technically its a bullpup AR-18, so you will never escape it

AK pulled out of the mud with its ejection port closed - could run easily. With its ejection port open and full of mud - you are likely to have problems from trivial to major soon.

@@FlymanMS im pretty sure karl has done this test with an ak more than once and it didnt work out like that. but it was years ago and maybe my memory is wrong.

It's easy to fix because those ingress points are also egress points once you clean it, so dunking it in water and running the action a few times is enough to clear the action and get it working. The loose tolerances allow small bits of debris to get in, including fouling from cartridges firing, and the AK still work. It also allows the AK to keep functioning without much lube to reduce friction. That's why the AK has the reputation it does. I think the mud test, in a lot of ways, is the exception that proves the rule. A super sealed system like a toggle locked Luger keeps mud out, but once stuff does get in, it's much harder to clear and takes much less of it to gum up the action. That's why toggle locked systems aren't very common anymore.

@@FlymanMS but it’s so easy to get it to run again. Just wipe off the mud and remove big rocks or big clumps of sand and the gun, since it’s overgassed from the factory, will run again with no lube.

@@CraneArmy Several times with a few different AK variants - same result every time, gun stops working. Even Brandon had the same result.

In Range is certainly the most Dadaistic of firearms content. I could see Karl hanging with Hugo Ball, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray discussing the mindless conformity of KZfaq gun channels.

the concept of ennui gets tested more and more every time karl has to do another one of these mud tests because it's what the viewers want.

"...and then next week we're going to be jewel-testing a Walther WA2000 by burying it in industrial diamonds then trying to fire it without cleaning it. Please support this channel on Patreon..."

If there's any album that deserves to be thrown in the mud it's definitely Jewel's 2004 album 0304!

It was likely a game of telephone, beginning with someone saying, "Man, the AK can run no matter what-- even if it's never been cleaned." Someone who doesn't have a ton of experience with firearms may not understand that carbon, soot, and other byproducts of combustion build up on guns, and that this should be cleaned off regularly to keep them maintained. Instead, they hear "dirty" and assume that refers to a rifle literally soiled with... well, soil. Dirt, earth, etc.

You should definitely be subscribed to inrange

you have good taste

@@lukezeiolf6977 as a matter of fact I am

I wish.

So glad I picked one of these up when they were still selling at retail.

I was very amused to see the brass stuck behind the mud in test 2 all spill out as a group once the mud was pushed out of the way. They clearly designed the ejection with the intent to self-clear obstructions like that.

There is a California rubber gasket...

The mud is fermented in the barrel and liegerbwuhwetasjhjhcew... IT'S VINTAGE DATED!

Do they make them anymore?

@Dick Cheese Well they build SCARs here, they could build F2000s. Seems they don't make 'em at all any more, though.

@@WaterZer0 I believe they don't. For several years now FN has removed them from the US website. It's a possibility they're still available somewhere else in the world.

@@madmaxd1 Slovenia being the only nation mass-adopted them

@@richarddo7881 Wrong! > Belgium used them for their Special Forces Group. > East Timor for their VIP protection units and police. > India for their Special Protection Group & National Security Guards. > Lybia during the Gaddafi regime. > Pakistan for their Special Service Wing & Army. > Peru for their Special Forces & Marine Corps. > Poland GROM Special Forces. > Saudi Arabia for their National Guard. > Slovenia for their Ministry of Defense & Army. .......and > Spain for their GEO Special National Police Special Operation Group. Compared to other world renowned platforms as the FAL, AR15 or FAL may not be much, but the S2000 was adopted and did served as military & police platforms for several countries as mentioned previously.

That section of the rifle is still pretty separated from the action. The only parts that are accessed through those vents are the barrel and the main spring and guide rod. None of the sensitive mechanics can be accessed through those holes.

I don't know if you can get one in the states I dont know if I've ever seen one

Given the timeframe - the Z84 was introduced in 1984, and the US machine gun registry was closed in 1986 - if any are in the US, they're likely going to be part of some company's reference collection.

That is legit some rough mud

I'd join you as a proud owner...except that my wife (wrong-handed shooter) claimed it as her own and yells at me if I say anything remotely indicating personal ownership of the thing. Sigh.

I'd say you may be wrong. I see the P90 as a more successful platform than the F2000. Regardless which one is the most successful, I can attest on FN's reputation and design by having the opportunity of owning a SCAR17S, FS2000, PS90 & hope on finding a cherry FN FAL.

Yes, this mud under test was kind of viscous. There was not much fluid to ingress. Would it not be more appropriate to conduct such a test under more harsh and longer lasting conditions, like immersing the rifle in a bath of muddy water?

I'd seen guys cut them out to use p-mags. I just bought a bunch of standard mags and never looked back lol

@@Damocles54 I was actually thinking about the possibility of routing out an o-ring channel in the magwell of a KP15 lower. I think the sealing gasket would need to be designed specifically for one brand of mags, but it could be easily molded using a 3D printed mold. Something right at the flare of the magwell that wipes the lip and sides of the magazine as it is inserted?

@@kschleic9053 that's not a bad idea really. If you ever do it, leave another post here. I'd be interested to hear how it works.

Yeah, I was thinking about it too. After you change the mag, you need to pull the charging handle, right? Unfortunately, Carl din't have another mag to test this case.

Now we just need a mud test on the L85A1 🇬🇧
