EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - [OT for the gun nuts] FN Herstal F2000 The FN (Fabrique Nationale - Belgium) Herstal F2000 is a bullpup (magazine behind the grip) design.

The OICW uses a six shot (bullpup) magazine of 20mm Grenades (though it's not the only gun to use 20mm explosive rounds - most of the others are anti-material rifles that are not programmable to my knowledge) so it can fire again and again and again and again... www.enworld.org /printthread.php?t=13142   (1679 words)
