Boy, you'd think if they were gonna use all that plastic on a $1500 gun...

They would use plastic that didn't look so cheap! Maybe a matte clearcoat, or a texture finish, would that be asking a lot?

I guess if one can spend that kind of coin on a plastic gun, one can go to WalMart and get a can of Krylon Fusion for Plastic spray paint to finish the job. :D
 
Anapex, they already seem to be. The reason they aren't advertised is you really didn't have any use for them until now.
 
The semi P90 will come with 30 round magazines.

The 50 round mags are LE only by company policy.

The P90 and F2000 will be available in grey, green and tan.

FN just made my bad list. Gun companies alienating customers seems to be a new trend.
 
So the us civvies can't have the 50 rounders.

I won't buy an FN product until they change their stupid policy. It's too bad...I wanted a P90 :rolleyes:
 
I'm not buying one if it uses only 30 rd mags.


They'll lose a lot of business if that's their opinion.... people don't like buying neutered guns.
 
Whoop-te-doo.

Without real colored plastic and full capacity mags, it's not going to sell, just like the SL8 didn't sell much.
 
oooh... I like the 2000!

(Of course, it'd also be kinda cool in electric blue-black with teckky tengwar writing on it, looking like a spacegun and all. :p )
 
Yeah, what do they think they are doing limiting our mag choices. I guess we will have to buy a H&K or Colt....... ;)
 
BTW, does the FN2000 use AR-15 magazines?

Kinda sucks about the 50 round magazines, but I'm sure there'll be some dealers who'll get them out to the public. Who's stupid idea was that? Anyways, if the magazines are blocked, it shouldn't be that difficult to remove.

I wouldn't dump on FN yet, there may be reasons to the decision. Where I live 10 rd mags is the max, so the whole discussion is like debating Star Trek to Star Wars, relatively.

Perhaps FN had to made that announcement as a pre-emptive strike, limit yourself before they impose limits on you?

About the barrel length on P90, what the hell? So the ammunition has been nerfed, and the barrel extended. Wasn't the gun designed around the bullet? It seems to me that the barrel length was appropriate for the round, and a longer barrel may have the same effect it does on a 9mm - slow the bullet down.
 
What is to stop some other company from producing aftermarket 50 rounders for us?

Nothing. And I'm sure P90 mags could be found and purcahsed without too much work. But it's the point of it.

I feel dirty for buying an FNC, now.
 
No authentic furniture
30 round mags only, "by policy"
SS192 ammo no longer being imported, again, "by policy"

What gives, FN? :confused:
 
I wonder what the 5.7x28's ballistics look like out of a 16" bbl! I bet they're decent, the cartridge has a LOT of powder behind it! (most unlike the 9mm.) I predict over 2700fps.

Do I hear 'car/truck gun!?'

PS: these 'polocies' need to change. And, make it in black.
 
I just realized that since it's a thumbhole stock, it's not a pistol grip....


To ban these without banning them by name, they'd have to ban a whole lot of different rifles.


Could be good or bad.

Not entirely so, as I understand it.
Disclaimer: My information comes from my brother, a law student in his final semester at Richmond University.

According to aforementioned sibling, the term "conspicuously protruding pistol grip" means any grip that places the web of the hand (that bit of extraneous flesh that stretches out if you make your thumb and index finger into an "L") beneath the bore-axis of the firearm. So, a Garand doesn't have a pistol grip because holding its grip involves having your thumb, thus, the web of your hand, over the top of the grip, in line with the action; however, your SL-8 does have a pistol grip, because your whole hand is beneath the bore-axis of the weapon.

Note: I don't remember if it was "bore axis" or the action of the weapon, specifically.

FN's website says it does.

That "front eject" looks kind of funky . . . I wonder how well it works.

WHY are they molding the stocks in odd colors? Black is ideal. I hate the idea of laying out some serious $$$ for a gun, and then having to paint the stock to make it look right. (Dittos to the above comments on no 50 rd mags.)
 
Man the F2000 looks awesome without the funky fat sight setup the factory puts on them in most of the pics of the military models. Looks downright mean with a smaller reddot setup on it. Looks almost straight out of HALO 2... More than looks it would seem to be a sweet handy small package, I want one if it turns out to decently reliable (the ejection tube stuff I'd read about before, seems to me like it could be troublesome)...
