This gun is really light. It feels like it was made out of aluminum cans-76.31.5.208 01:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC) (S&Wshooter)

I don't know why, but the gun reminds me of a P90 for some reason or another User:SeanWolf

Seing as they were made by the same company, it's not that surprising.--PistolJunkie 21:55, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Pretty much is the rifle version of the P90 Excalibur01 00:38, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Or a substitute for those of us who like the P90 ergonomics, but find it to be too small (when your 6'2", that small of a gun makes you feel kinda' silly when you have to practically fold your arms just to hold it properly).--PistolJunkie 16:43, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Seriously. The P90 is crazy small, like a BB gun or something. Maybe FN should release a F2000 chambered in 5.7 for all the people that find the P90 too little-S&Wshooter 17:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

That just sounds a bit weird. You could just get the 5.7 upper for the AR-15. The point of the P90 is as compact as they could get with and giving a large amount of ammo to shoot. I think the F2000 is a bit bulky when held. The AUG feels better to wield around. Excalibur01 17:55, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Is this why some people hate the FN F2000?

Ok, so I don't know if anyone watches this guy on YouTube, but in this video here [1], FPSRussia is shooting an FN F2000 at a Justin Bieber poster (LOL, yeah I know it's hilarious) and he's firing the weapon in bursts. But when he gets to the 3rd burst, the gun seems to jam on him (or it's a possible stovepipe), and he racks the cocking handle twice, ejecting both a spent shell and several unfired rounds from the ejection port. While on the bottom of the screen, he comments that it's a "Belgian piece of s***!" Now my question here is, does this sort of thing normally happen with the FN F2000? And if so, is that the reason why some people hate this gun? --ThatoneguyJosh 01:44, 21 December 2011 (CST)

Have heard it is a picky gun. It is very particular about the ammunition it will reliably function with and only seems to like military stuff (SS109). I think the magazines are also an issue, in that using a standard aluminium STANAG (the magazine it comes with) you get double feeds and it is best to switch it out for a stronger steel one. I have shot an F2000 once (only a couple of mags) and I personally did not have any jams, but this was using military ammo. However the trigger was pretty awful, I found it isn't that easy to tell if the magazine is seated correctly and it doesn't fall free from the gun when you release it. In the above video, I imagine the situation wasn't helped by the guys total lack of proper stoppage drills. He didn't even remove the magazine let alone actually look in the action (the rounded part on the top of the gun directly above the magazine is a sprung chamber cover) to see what the problem was. --commando552 06:15, 21 December 2011 (CST)

Splinter Cell

Would the internals of the F2000 allow for a collapsible stock mod like seen in a few Splinter Cell titles? Spartan198 (talk) 01:21, 13 December 2015 (EST)

Not really, the trigger pack is housed right at the rear of the gun in the stock, and the bolt needs to be free to recoil back into the stock. There is a vague possibility that you could make a rifle like this where the stock could be retracted for storage, however it would not be able to fire unless the stock was fully extended. --commando552 (talk) 19:02, 13 December 2015 (EST)
