It is stated that the FS2000 is civilian-legal, I assume this means the United States. Whether it does or does not, I think this should be clarified for a non-US audience. Hydraton31 22:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Just FYI, the FS2000 is now available. It looks like there is a lot more initial supply than the PS90, but the prices are ranging from $1900 to $2700. Feel free to start up a new FS2000 page, provide detailed info, and take plenty of pics. One owner has already taken photographs of his FS2000 on AR15.com

I disagree. There is no civilian counterpart of the M249 SAW, and the M16 is a select-fire variant of the AR-15. The AR-15 has its own page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR15, while the M-16 has its own page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M16_rifle. The PS90 differs from the P90 in a variety of ways such as the barrel length, hammer group, selector, frame, etc... and will have a different user base (P90 isn't legal for civilian ownership, I'm not sure on the semi-auto P90 though). Keeping everything on one page might be convenient for an editor, but an extra page contributes more information regarding the PS90. Unfortunately, the people buying FS2000s aren't too tech savvy and aren't taking as many photographs to post up. There are people buying 2-3 FS2000s at a time, so it is definitely selling faster than the PS90, most likely due to the .223 Remington / 5.56 x 45 mm caliber (common) and usage of AR-15 magazines (common and cheap).
In addition, whenever I added the info page for the PS90 on the P90 page, someone kept deleting it, even though its dimensions (weight and size) are very different from the P90. The PS90 deserves its own page, as does the FS2000 (whenever someone has enough photos and information on it to develop it).

Should contain as much information on the subject as possible. In this day and age, photographs and text are great mediums of information. This isn't the reign of Encyclopedia Britannica where we pay a few thousand dollars for 1 photograph and a bunch of outdated text. I hope that the photographs explain more about the weapon system and I try to keep the PS90 article as updated as possible with new information as it comes to light. Had I kept the PS90 info on the P90 page, someone would complain that the P90 page contains more info on the PS90 than the P90... There is a separate article for the AR-15 and a separate article for the M-16. Both are very similar weapon systems and I don't see why the PS90 cannot legitimately have its own Wikipedia page.
I wish Wikipedia would allow "how-to" sections, because there really is no other documented source of information on adjusting the MC-10-80 or how to use the EGLM sighting system on the F2000.

The electronic fire control system calculates a grenade's trajectory and indicates the launcher's correct elevation for any given target. It is more accurate and faster to use than traditional grenade launcher sights.
To use the system, follow these simple steps:
* Locate the target. * Input the range to the target: 1. Look through the optical sights and align them with the target. 2. Paint the target with the laser rangefinder. Do this by pressing the red button on the pistol grip, directly below the rifle trigger. 3. The target's range will be displayed inside the optical sights. * Rotate the weapon to its proper elevation: 1. The optical sights are equipped with two red LEDs. These will flash to indicate correct elevation. 2. The bottom LED will start flashing when the weapon is aimed too low. 3. The top LED will flash when the weapon is aimed too high. 4. Both LEDs will stop flashing and turn yellow when the weapon's elevation is correct. * Fire.
I did not write this up, but I felt it was important/unique enough to retain at least in the discussion section since it technically is a How-To article and violates Wikipedia's policies.

Does anyone know what that helmet is all about?
He is part of a helicopter crew I believe, possbily a smaller close support transport as he is wearing body armour - Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.58.148 ( talk) 00:23, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Wait - Norwegian? was a picture removed, I thought about the Slovanian soldiers when you mentioned the helmet. What Norwegian exactly? -Anon
Although I won't do this, I advise that it be noted somewhere in this article that the FN F2000 makes an appearance in all the Splinter Cell games in the form of the SC-20K rifle that Sam carries.
Who cares? Koalorka ( talk) 02:42, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
Why is it relevant what game it appears in? The developers can put any gun they damn well want in. The same goes for movies. They are just props. Who cares. The lists become out of control, and that is why we worked these problems out a year or two ago. A prop is just not notable for inclusion. Should we include every movie that a particular television set has been in? No. Hayden120 ( talk) 13:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Agreed, this is what the IMFDB (internet movie/media firearms database) wiki is for, not wikipedia. - Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.58.148 ( talk) 00:36, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
Can someone get a pic or video of it ejecting brass? At the very least, a pic of where the ejection port is would be good. Identity0 19:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
http://www.fireforeffect.biz/WEB14.jpg Sorry, not proficiant enough to put pictures in a wiki but I found a great one to use. - Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.58.148 ( talk) 00:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
The article mentions that the F2000's forward handguard can be replaced by, among other things, a 12-gauge shotgun. Is there a specific model of shotgun that it's designeded to mount, and are any pictures available of it with a shotgun mounted? 71.203.209.0 06:42, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
2 hours of searching the internet yeilded no evidence of a shotgun compatable with the F2000 rifle, unless someone can provide evidence that this is possible I think it should be removed as speculation. - Anon —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.58.148 ( talk) 00:28, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at my copy of Assault Rifle by Max Popeneker yesterday, and I noticed that it said the F2000 is gas-operated with a long-stroke piston, while this article says short-stroke. I've tried FN's websites, but one of them isn't working on my computer. Could someone find some sources stating which it really is?-- LWF ( talk) 02:40, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
"The FS2000 is not configured from the factory to have a drop-free magazine system due to the friction from the removable dust gaskets. The magazine needs to be pulled out manually. It should also be noted that the rifle does not have a hold-open device; the bolt does not stay back after the last round is fired."
This would apply to all F2000 variants correct? Then perhaps it should be merged into the design details section. Hayden120 ( talk) 01:34, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
They are videos at youtube about the 40th anniversary of Libyan Revolution that shown the libyan special forces soldiers parading keeping at their hands FN-2000 rifles.

I saw an IP added an image with a black background and then a user reverted to a different image. I reverted back to the black background image because I feel the quality of the image makes the features more distinguishable than the image with the lighter background. I would suggest seeking an image with a light background with higher quality though. That's in my opinion though.-- TParis00ap ( talk) 20:53, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
