FP-2000 sniper rifles are normally fitted with muzzle brakes to reduce recoil, jump and flash. The FNC FP-2000 muzzle brakes vent sideways and are detachable. While they are made with iron sights, FP-2000s are designed to be outfitted with a telescopic sight with either fixed or variable magnification power. Variable telescopic sights can be used if the operator wants more flexibility to shoot at varying ranges, or when a wide field of view is required. | FP-2000 sniper rifles are normally fitted with muzzle brakes to reduce recoil, jump and flash.
