You can’t polish a turd but FN managed to roll it around in glitter
DerringerOfficial@reddit
Can the civilized world stop playing around and just accept that the CZ Bren 2 is the most cost effective rifle in this category to standardize on?
Racer_Space@reddit
I like the Bren rifles but I've seen a lot of people say that it is near impossible to get replacement parts for them.
pontetorto@reddit
Bren 3 dose exist(or atleast its gonna)

Does it still have a plastic lower?
xlaterb@reddit

FN BREN 2
Natural_Youth_5941@reddit
You either die an interesting rifle or live long enough to see you and everything you love turned to AR’s
drummagqbblsw@reddit
So essentially the revived FN MRGG? And why the forward assist lol
HYPERNOVA3_@reddit
Something something carcinisation something something
ConcernHuman9556@reddit
at this point every rifle is just destined to become an ar-15 with a different piston system. we really are living in the timeline where ergonomics won and variety died.
MagneticGenetics@reddit
The BRN 180 does this way better.
IDK why FN killed the SCAR just to make a half baked AR18 with modern Ar15 ergonomics. Its not gonna win military contracts becuase everyone and their mother already has 416 at home and it won't get many civilian sales be its not a SCAR.
StalinsPimpCane@reddit
They didn’t kill the scar they have a new scar that is a scar
rextrem@reddit
The stock is not foldable...
Oh my god the spring is inside the stock and this is ANOTHER piston-AR.
leto78@reddit
I watched the video in slow motion and there is no buffer spring in the buttstock. It is basically the same operating system as the SCAR, but more AR style.
rextrem@reddit
So they got rid of the folding stock, or not even implement a proper collpasing stock, for no good reason ?
AnotherGermanFool@reddit
So an Scar-L?
Taguysy@reddit
Not just SCAR-L, but worse SCAR-L
Naughty_LIama@reddit
fn copying BRENS now? sad
opposite_singularity@reddit
Why are so many firearm manufactures so dead set on using ar-15 lowers?
Activision19@reddit
Because half the planet uses some derivative of the AR. Consequently, users won’t have to fundamentally retrain to operate a rifle with AR pattern controls and ergonomics.
MagneticGenetics@reddit
They think it will drive sales. Like they unironically think that there is some huge untapped market of people and organizations that have a bunch of ar15 lowers and furniture that will look at this and say "why yes I do want to buy $2000 uppers for my entire military/police force to replace my already fully functional ones."
Wolfy_047@reddit
Why is it that FN rifles all fuck SO HARD (yes, even the F2000)
OctavianStoleras@reddit
I think you mean especially the F2000
Wolfy_047@reddit
Look at us, the only two F2000 enjoyers
McStupidy@reddit
Which of you is Sam Fisher?
HumanDominion@reddit
The ones with the factory-fitted 1.6x scope look cool, the Tactical ones look okay, and the Tactical TR version is butt ugly with those rails attached to the handguard.
TheDarkRider@reddit
Look like the took notes from 805 Bren s1
NotJayKayPeeness@reddit
SCAR-L with inferior charging handle.
Dart3145@reddit
Mom can we have HK416?
Mom: No we have HK416 at home
The HK416 at home.
Sea-Perception-6208@reddit
Basically look like a cz bren
Kiwi_Doodle@reddit
scAR-15
astano925@reddit
But why?
BrokenBodyEngineer@reddit
Wow that is ugly
lucioux@reddit
“aesthetic of AR-15”
davegoku12@reddit (OP)
Another AR-15 in Europe
CannonFodder58@reddit
Let me guess, $5k MSRP.
Zosoooooo@reddit
So an ar-18?
RamTank@reddit
Isn’t that basically just an AR-18?
Stuuble@reddit
Hate it, bring back the fnc
Clapbakatyerblakcat@reddit
FNC/SCAR/this rifle are all AR18s.
What makes the FNC’s stamped steel and plastic better than SCAR/ARKA’s aluminum?
Stuuble@reddit
Looks better, I wish we had the ar18s still, the brn 180 is just an ar15
vortigaunt64@reddit
