F2000-What do you think?

[aesop081]

The C9 and C6. I heard that FN developes them, but isn't it DIMACO that produces them?
And going over to a general area; Our Phalanx 20mm CIWS on our navy ships, thats a Raytheon Corp. product, but they are produced I think in Calgary.
Just a with Glorified Ape's post.

The C6 and C9 are manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium........at least thats what i have been taught 12 years ago.  Not all foreign designed weapons are built here under liscence.  The F-18s were not, the Harpoon missles on the CPFs  were not, CP-140s were not, CH-124s were not........The sea sparow missles on CPF are a raytheon product and they were built in the US...so were the CIWS.......

This is acontract to upgrade  and service the existing CIWS on canadian ships........read UPGRADE.....the systems were built in the US by Ratheon missle systems.

"LOL leftys learn fast how to use right handed equpitment,  if not then they have hot empty shells ejecting in their face LOL.

What about grenades though?  Do you have to switch the pin around or does it really matter the way you hold it in your hand?"

Not an issue with the FN 2000,the casings eject from the front,the weapon is totally ambidextrous,unfortunately it is also not all it is cracked up to be.

Diemaco has a service contract for the C9, and probably for the C6 as well, and allegedly infuriated FN by undercutting them for service contracts for other countries which use the FN Minimi (New Zealand in particular IIRC).

PP my suggestion to you would be to read the FAQ and Guidelines before posting anymore. You will find things go much smoother when you do.
