The system includes: SCAR-L (caliber 5.56) and SCAR-H (caliber 7.62).

The weapon is designed to perform combat missions in modern local military conflicts. F2000 automation operates by removing powder gases, the barrel is closed by turning the shutter. Layout - bullpap.
Thanks to the patented scheme of frontal extraction of shotgun shells (shells fall out, practically, from the muzzle) solves the main problem of weapons of this layout - the inability to use weapons left-handed shooter due to the shot in the face.

In the future, at the request of the customer, it is possible to install other modules.
