When the Slovenian Army decided to adopt a new infantry rifle in the mid-2000s, the Arex Defense company decided to submit the F-2000 into the trials. The H&K G36 was widely expected to be the winner, but Arex had already been involved in making F2000 parts as a subcontractor for FN, and wanted a chance at a domestic-production rifle for Slovenia.
The one major hurdle was that the Army tender required the rifle to have a carry handle, which the F2000 does not. At the request of Arex, FN agreed to design a version of the rifle with such a feature, but balked at the extremely tight time frame required. So instead, Arex made their own new upper receiver for the F2000, with an elevated picatinny optics rail and a carry handle beneath. This was entered into the rifle trials and ended up winning. A contract for 6500 of the guns was issued, and they were delivered in 2006-2007. The final design was designated the F2000S by FN (not to be confused with the civilian-sale semiautomatic FS2000).
Thanks to Arex Defense for giving me access to this rifle to film, and thanks to Polenar Tactical for hosting me in Slovenia!

They took it to fill most roles, OG model was basically standard F2000 (GL1 & 1.6x optic, with a suppressor) which worked like a marksman rifle (in-game had 2-6x zoom) then GL1 had wide array of stuff to deploy (non-lethal though) Later they redone the model to have like actual integrated suppressor (modeled after mk23 one i believe) and collapsible stock (i know from design perspective would've not worked because of the removed buttstock, so bolt would have nowhere to move) on top of making it "modular" as in making 4 configs of it besides GL1 2 stood out, "sniper" & "shotgun", the former added that 1.6x (1.5-3.5x now) replacing C-more red dot & adding bit over the suppressor, the latter horizontal grip with a SPAS-12 looking masterkey

@PsihoKekec Жыл бұрын

The main reason for the carry handle requirement was because the army was not allowed to just write G36 in tender. But then they were informed by H&K that optics from german version are not part of the export version and suddenly they were willing to give other contenders a chance.

@Juozapas001 Жыл бұрын

You named only couple problems it has. I trained with the M70 and tried for some time the F2000 (Civilian version) and I would pick an upgraded M70 anytime over the F2000. I consider the F2000 as an overly complicated, full-of-weak-points-and-liabilities rifle. IMO, we would have done much better by just upgrading the M70. Switching to the 5.56, increasing the sight radius (And upgrading the sighs and adding a picatinny rail),

The F2000 is an extremely magazine sensitive rifle, the feed lips have to be in perfect condition. Unfortunately, it is only designed to accept aluminum mags, which are notorious for developing feed lip issues. I had to go through a couple dozen aluminum mags just to find a few that my own FS2000 would not have malfunctions with. And yes, the trigger feels like a Nintendo Zapper light gun.

@tbhbrievodarchive5857 Жыл бұрын

The trigger is better at AR platforms - since on this bulpup the trigger assembly is long way from firing pin it has that mushy trigger that bulpups were often associated with. This is something that can be solved - I think tavor has nice trigger. Second is the challenging way to clear malfunctions. In Ar style platfomr you can reach your trigger in a action or rock a bolt really violently to help clear stoppage. But with bulpup you don't have that luxury due to enclosed nature of the firing action assembly. But this beauties truly shine in Urban environment aka CQB. I wish FN would have will and innovation to improve this rifle.

I have a standard F2000 airsoft gun licensed by FN. Had it for a decade and still kicks ass and turns heads. Use a cheap red dot for mine. Wish I could afford the bespoke scope.

@jonathonspears7736 Жыл бұрын

My experience with the F2000 is that while exceptionally ergonomic, i find it difficult to use in the prone position. The higher pic rail on this model does seem to be an improvement if i an being honest though.

It's not. It's based on the FN F2000 by FN Herstal. FN Herstal is Belgian, with Herstal being the name of a city close to Liège. They've been in business since 1889.

Funny how, after those first introductory shots, my first thought is: Oh boy, that firing range needs to fix its acoustics! Get some obsorbtion panels up to cut down on the reverb/echo.

The problem with many bullpub design rifle is that the case ejection port is close to the user's eyes. When firing continuously, the excess gunpowder smoke irritated their eyes. This seems like a trivial matter. But it is very serious. When you are in the heat of battle. These things have happened to the Royal Thai Army that used to use the Tarvor as the new standard rifle and then retire the M16, but eventually the Army had to return to using the M16 as before. FN F2000 design is very clever. that makes the casing ejection port at the front of the gun.

It looks simple, honest and a thoroughly thought out fire arm. I’m sure the people in the civilian army are happy to have it and thanks for a good job Berean you did another fantastic video.

I think the lack of ambi-controls was a substantial "oversight" for a bullpup, but you know, designs are based on what's needed/ requested at the time.

@Rehteal Жыл бұрын

@@xavierh.5102 I'm referring to the more modular version of ambidextrous controls, in that you can basically reverse the internals to make the gun a mirror image. The kind where it has either an ejection port on the bottom, or can have it toggled left or right.

@MrBelegus Жыл бұрын

As an operator on this weapon, I would not describe it as simple, at least not internally. It had a lot going on inside, some of it quite complicated, specially the ejection mechanism
