Most inaccurate firing will be the result.....
Just look at the magazine touching the thigh which will produce jump..
Left hand has no support.... the elbow could rest on the thigh... possible

Basics need improvement...

Anybody shooting from a chair needs a bench in front of them. The photo should never have been published.

Slovenia is the only country in the world, in which the F2000,a permanent weapon soldiers. In the other countries, which use this automatic rifle, it is only available in SF

Yeah, the F2000 is a pretty ridiculous weapon. Barrel length is 40cm in a 68cm gun; versus 37cm barrel in an 84cm gun for the M4 carbine. Basically, the gun is 16cm more compact with no reduction in accuracy or range. This makes it very, very handy for urban, airborne, or mechanized operations, where troops have to cram themselves into buildings, helos, or APCs.

What's even better about the F2000 is its forward ejecting shell tray, which makes it ambidextrous (unlike most other bullpup designs), and its integrated 40mm grenade launcher and 2x scope. It is, hands down, one of the most versatile modern assault rifles in the world.

Unfortunately, it's also expensive...

I should also mention that the F2000 is the only assault rifle that comes with its fire control computer.

Yes, you heard that right, the F2000 has a computer to calculate ballistics for you.

The fire control system calculates a firing solution manifested by the barrel's angle of elevation using target range information from the laser rangefinder (the rangefinder is activated by pushing a button on the pistol grip, below the trigger), corrected manually by the shooter through a push-button interface (add/subtract buttons) on the FCS top cover to take account for head or tail winds that could affect the desired range. The F2000 FCS also contains software with the ballistic properties of up to six types of 40 mm grenades and can be reprogrammed to take advantage of future munition improvements. Batteries for the FCS are located in the bottom of the buttstock.
After obtaining a range measurement, the distance to the target is displayed on a liquid crystal screen and the elevation diode flashes red. Once a correct elevation has been achieved by tilting the rifle, the diode changes color to green indicating the weapon is ready to fire.

Essentially you point the F2000's laser rangefinder at a target, it figures out the range and elevation difference, and then you tilt the gun until a light goes from red to green--this means the grenade launcher is now at the right angle to put the grenade exactly where you need it. In addition, you can put in wind speed if you want to get really technical.

The system can put a 40mm grenade through an 1m x 1m open window from about 300m away with 95% accuracy.
