      It's not only that.

      >If you have a jam, it's a pain in the ass to clear it.

      While the forward ejection system and almost sealed system is cool making it very resistan against mud, dust and debris, but if you get, for example, a stuck case, opening up the toilet seat is not enough, you will have to field strip the rifle.

      >You can only use metal magazines.
      This is common knowledge. This is due to the ruber gasket seal on the magwell, only aluminum and steel mags will fit. PMAGS and the like won't unless you remove the gasket.

      >Magazines won't drop free.
      This is also due to the rubber gasket.But this is only an issue for sport shooters. I'm actually more concern that due to the gasket, there's a chance that the magazines won't seat properly, and that can cause failures to feed.

      >Mushy, spongy trigger.
      This is quite common in bullpups.

      I think that the SCAR-L mogged it, because the marketing, the name (SCAR, so edgy) and that a lot of people didn't fall for the bullpup meme and still prefer a traditional layout for their rifles.

    Same fate most bullpups have. They’re cool and exciting for being unique. Then the new factor wears off and, improvements or not, it’s still fundamentally just another 5.56 carbine/rifle. The fade to obscurity begins.
    Forward ejection is still one of the cooler and more unique bull pup features I’ve seen though.
    Also the splinter cell appeal will always be there, so there’s that.

      I forgot that the SCAR program started developing not too long after the fs2000 did too. The whole FN-ecosphere kind of approach with the eglm started leaning more towards the SCAR since you had the 16 and 17.

      That kind of killed the f2000 and turned into into a niche.

      It's not a battle rifle, it's a great police/LE/CT rifle for doorkickers in Paris.

      This. Bullpups are shit, and not used by any serious military. Coinsidentally, the reason people designed their rifles the usual way and not as bullpups is because the conventional design is better.

    Bad timing. If it had come out 10 years later instead it would have had a vastly friendlier and more interested market, though it could have used more flexibility as well. But as far as the military market it's very hard to push any sort of replacement rifle, period, but more so with 5.56. Any change at all isn't going to be worth it vs the massive refinement and logistics current stuff has. New rifles only make sense with a caliber change, which makes the most sense with a doctrine change due to tech disruption, so maybe we'll see that with NGSW, though honestly I think even that is 5-10 years too early.

    What would really drive it would be smartgun tech and serious AR, such that every infantry man is now a high level marksman able to do vital shots reliably at 600+yd. That really flips around a lot of existing logic, if ALL your infantry, even the FNGs 2 weeks out of basic, now can snipe enemies in the head at those kinds of ranges then current doctrine no longer makes sense in many respects. The heavy weapons are no longer is necessarily the ultimate center of a squad and instead are mostly about fortified positions or armor. Rather then lots and lots of ammo, a lesser number of much more powerful rounds will do more. That's what is going to obsolete 5.56 and in turn push new guns.

    F2000 was (understandably but still) not really optimized and targeted for the modern civilian market either.

    Sacrificing your trigger, reload speeds, etc, to save 3 inches is a bad idea.
    With folding stocks the 'exiting vehicles' meme no longer applies either.

          You can compensate for the muzzle rise, but you can't for the center of mass being too far forward. Bullpups are definitely easier to handle because of that.

            They're blank fire adapters.

            If you don't have a BFA on, a blank round is still blasting shards of hot brass out the front at speed sometimes. The BFA is to catch them before they injure or kill someone. It's one of the more common causes of firearm injury and death in competent armed forces, just behind people fricking up and not checking their magazine pouches for live round when leaving the range so they end up in allegedly-blank magazines.

            A good example is the number of people killed in Hollywood gun accidents because someone loaded blanks for a scene - you can't have a BFA for the shot so you're supposed to use special pyro that makes fire but cannot project material. It's killed at least a dozen actors, Brandon Lee being the most well-known example.

    If you wanna put £300k of technology on a basic mook’s gun, why not just put it on wheels/a drone/a mortar-like platform instead?

        I thought there would be some aspect of like mechanical automation of aiming or firing as well. After all marksmanship isn’t just about where you’re pointing before you press the trigger, but also your follow-through
