POTD: FN F2000 in Urban Operations Training

The FN F2000 made its debut in 2001. Designed by FN Herstal in Belgium, it is a bullpup rifle chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO.
I just had a look at the FN Herstal homepage and the FN 2000 is not to be found anymore. Rumor has it that the production has stopped. If true it is sad, but in some ways, it probably makes commercial sense.

In June 2006, the ministry of defence of the Republic of Slovenia signed a contract with FN Herstal involving the acquisition of 6,500 F2000 rifles as the new standard service rifle for the S lovenian Army (Slovenska vojska) along with the 40 mm GL1 grenade launcher.
This is arguably the first confirmed large-scale adoption for this rifle by a European and NATO member country. The Slovenian army will ultimately purchase 14,000 rifles

It's just ain't it, it's form rather than matter, anything based on an AR-15 surpasses that concept.
