  Belgian Assault Rifles
Notes: The FN CAL is an example of a weapon that was at once ahead of its time, built using ideas that were technologically possible at the time, and suffering from the political whims of the time.
FN had considerable success with its FAL, firing the then-standard 7.62mm NATO round, but they had seen the writing on the wall in the early 1960s, and began designing a smaller version of the FAL to fire what became the new standard NATO round.
Notes: The F2000 IWS (Integrated Weapon System) is not exactly a simple assault rifle; it is a weapon system consisting of a bullpup assault rifle and a number of snap-on attachments and weapons to suit the F2000 to nearly any sort of tactical situation.

 Modern Firearms - FN F2000 assault rifle
The F2000 offers all of the most popular features of the modern assault rifle, such as a compact bullpup layout, completely ambidextrous handling, and a modular design with plenty of options and add-ons already available, which allow the rifle to be 'tailored' for any particular mission or tactical situation.
The unique feature of the F2000 rifle is its patented front ejection system: the spent cases, extracted from the chamber, travel from the rear part of the gun to the ejection port near the muzzle via a special ejection tube and fall out of the gun at the safe distance from the shooters' face.
At the current time, the F2000 rifle may be upgraded, depending on the mission, with FN's 40 mm low-velocity grenade launcher (on the lower mount, instead of the handguard), or with M303 non-lethal module; other options are handguards with built-in laser pointers or flashlights.
