POTD: The Standard Issue Rifle of The Future – The FN FS2000

Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day! The long arm of the future (1950s future voice)! This is the FN FS2000. The FN FS2000 is the civilian version or semiautomatic version of the FN F2000 select fire rife. Those rifles came out in the mid-1990s with high hopes of militaries picking them up and adopting them. Unfortunately, the FN F2000 was only accepted by a few small-scale countries for their special forces. The F2000 is an odd-looking gun and most of them came with a small integrated optic that would be hidden under a plastic protector. These bullpups have the typical long creepy trigger pull as most but they are surprisingly simple and easy to work with and take apart. Fun Fact: They eject out the front!
