FN 2000 and Steyr AUG
Posted: 29 Aug 2013, 09:29
I have owned a Steyr AUG bullpup for 18 years and still think it is the most innovative assault-style semi auto made.
BUT the FN 2000 is, IMHO, the equal of the AUG in many ways, ergonomically and quality wise. All they need is a flip-down forearm handgrip to make it better.
Thank GOD the FN 2000 charging lever does not reciprocate as it does in the SCAR!
And the only reason is does in the SCAR is because the US SOCOM (in their "infinite wisdom") required it and changing it to non-reciprocating for the civilian market must not be worth the trouble.
