genoyamamoto 0 #1 March 1, 2005 I got to go to IDEX 2005 this year. Kind of a surreal experience, guys in suits selling stuff to kill people. Anywho, here's a pic i thought you gun-lovers might like. They were locked up so I couldn't get a pic with one of these badboys but did get a pic with an MP5. Gotta go... plaything needs to spank me Feel the hate...

lurch 0 #3 March 2, 2005 Isn't that an 80-watt phased plasma pulse rifle second from the left? Edit: what the fuck ARE those things? Obviously intended to make holes, yes, but last time I handled a gun looked like that I was playing DOOM.Live and learn... or die, and teach by example.

AggieDave 6 #4 March 2, 2005 They look good, WTF are they? Honestly they kinda look like the phaser rifles from Star Trek TNG.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bch7773 0 #5 March 2, 2005 they appear to be P90s or even FAMAS. Bascially a french made assault rifle or submachine gun. P90s fire a strange caliber... 5.7 by 30mm or something like that. FAMAS fires 5.56 nato but with an extremely high ROF, something like 1300 RPM MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

genoyamamoto 0 #7 March 2, 2005 Here's a couple close-ups of the logo and the info. It says FN Herstal F2000. Apparently the weapon system for the discerning soldier who wants both style and functionality. There were other cool things like submarines, attack helicopters (apaches), tanks, mobile artillery, UAV's, anti-X missiles (X = ships, tanks, aircraft), clusterbombs, rpgs. There were a lot of countries whoring their wares out. They even had kitchen sinks for sale. They were also throwing down some serious firepower at the live-fire demo. Never knew people could find a use for a 20mm sniper rifle from S.A. Gotta go... plaything needs to spank me Feel the hate... Photos here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tcnelson 1 #12 March 4, 2005 yeah, maybe the french will be able to defend their own country now. it takes a bad ass rifle to make up for the lack of french resolve, obviously.

shropshire 0 #15 March 9, 2005 Except these aren't French (the French stand is behind the one shown in the picture). This appears to be a FN (Fabrique National) stand, which I think is still a Belgique(sp) company. thay also make the P90 (as seen on the Stargate t.v show) http://www.fnherstal.com/html/Index.htm (.)Y(.)
