POTD: FN F2000 at NATO enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia

The FN F2000 is the standard issue rifle for the Slovenian Armed Forces. In case you think you see it rarely it’s because FN Herstal has stopped the production. It was probably released a few hundred years too early, don’t you think?

Soldiers from Slovenia take aim on a range at Camp Adazi, Latvia.

Slovenia contributes soldiers to a multinational engineer company of the Enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia, demonstrating Allied cooperation and cross-nation training.

The FN2000 image was taken by Bg Juan Garnacho, enhanced Forward Presence Latvia Imagery Technician.

Spanish Leopard 2E tanks conduct a training range at Camp Adazi, Latvia.

Spain is one of nine other nations that form the enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia, deployed to support NATO in deterrence and assurance measures, and demonstrate Allied solidarity.

Canadian Armed Forces members with enhanced Forward Presence Battle Group Latvia deployed on Operation REASSURANCE fire C7 and C8 rifles at Camp Adazi, Latvia.

These two images were taken by MCpl Stuart MacNeil, enhanced Forward Presence – Latvia Imagery Technician, Canadian Armed Forces Photo.

These two articles will surely interest you as well: “ SAKO TRG M10 of the Slovenian Police Snipers” and “ FN F2000 in Urban Operations Training“.

    FN really missed their opportunity with the F2000. They should have designed it with a P90 style foregrip and marketed it as the 'P100' to play on the popularity of the P90.

    Totally changes the aesthetic and would have been so easy.

      @Mark I thought P100 should be twin P90 with bolt linked like Gast gun for ~2000rpm because lols
