Manual

Ammunition

The FS2000 carbine should only be used with 5.56 x 45 mm

ammunition.

This is indicated on the left side of the frame.

The barrel and the bolt of the FS2000 carbine

have been made with substantial

safety margins in order to be able to cope

with pressures developped by

the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO ammunition.

Neverthless, FN HERSTAL cannot assume any

responsability for incidents which result

from the use of rounds of different caliber

or not fabricated according

to the SAAMI or NATO standards.
