F2000
 |
 |
The F2000 design is based on the use of several interchangeable models to
create an integrated system that will replace several varied
systems now used to accomplish diverse missions. The complete modularity and
interoperability of this system reduces overall purchasing costs
and also reduces training costs because only one basic platform is used.

COMPLETE INTEGRATION
The F2000 design allows accessories or "modules" to be added or
interchanged on the gun without interfering with the overall ergonomics,
balance or lines of the gun. These modules are not mere bolt-on accessories
but integrated modules considered in the original design of
the gun. These include:
|
Integrated fire control system that uses a laser to
determine range and calculates elevation required to reach target
|
|
Day or night sight
|
|
Ergonomic forearm grip
|
|
1-shot 40mm grenade launcher
|
|
3-shot 40mm grenade launcher
|
|
20mm grenade launcher (future developement)
|
|
5-round 12 Ga. Shotgun
|
|
Pneumatic less-lethal
|
ERGONOMICS
The F2000 is truly ambidextrous and includes forward eject. The bullpup design
makes the F2000 very compact for a rifle with a
full-length barrel. It is light with the center of balance directly over the
strong hand.
