Oddly enough, there is no detailed accounts of the IWS 2000 in service or being used operationally, however, several sources state that the U.S. Military fields the IWS 2000
in modern day low intensity conflicts. There are also reports of Iran copying this rifle and exporting it to its allies such as Hamas, and used to fight western militaries.<ref>[https://www.bevfitchett.us/heavy-machine-guns/antitank-and-modern-heavy-rifles.html Bevfitchett entry on IWS 2000]</ref> <ref>[https://www.guns.com/news/2012/09/19/future-rifles-two-miles guns.com entry on IWS 2000]</ref> <ref>[http://homemadedefense.blogspot.com/2009/08/steyr-amr-prototype-concept-from-wwi.html homemade defence blog entry on IWS 2000]</ref> <ref>[https://www.remtek.com/arms/steyr/amr/amr.htm remtek entry on IWS 2000]</ref> <ref>[https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-believes-gaza-snipers-used-iranian-armor-piercing-rifle-to-kill-soldier/ "IDF believes Gaza snipers used Iranian armor-piercing rifle to kill soldier" timesofisrael article]</ref>
Survincity article does not mention IWS 2000; IWS 2000 is also NOT used by the US military, and said sources fail to show/prove that the US uses the IWS 2000. AMR rifle used by Hamas is more likely a 12.7 or 14.5 rifle loaded with AP rounds.

The IWS 2000 is a bullpup (magazine is rear of the action), semisingle-automatic shot Anti-Materiel Rifle (AMR) that fires a 15.2mm APFSDS (Amour Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot)
round out of a smoothbore barrel at 1,459 M/S (±10 m/s). The IWS 2000 uses a rare 'Long Recoil' action where the barrel and bolt remain locked together during recoil (10).
The AMR is capable of penetrating 40mm of Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA) at a distance of 1000m. The Rifle unloaded weighs 40 pounds (18kg) hence the capability to be diassembled
into two pieces. The IWS 2000 uses a 10x magnification telescope. <ref> [http://survincity.com/2012/02/sniper-rifles-steyr-amr-and-iws-2000/ Survincity entry on IWS 2000]</ref> <ref> [https://modernfirearms.net/en/sniper-rifles/large-caliber-rifles/austria-large-caliber-rifles/steyr-iws-2000-eng/ modernfirearms entry on IWS 2000]</ref><ref>[https://www.smallarmsreview.com/archive/detail.arc.entry.cfm?arcid=19546]</ref>
The complete 15.2 mm APFSDS round weighs 150 g and is 207 mm long. The cartridge case (maximum diameter at the base is 26 mm) is of part-synthetic construction, conventional
four sabot segments weighs 35 g. The projectile has a practical range of 1,000 m and a probable range of 1,500/2,000 m depending upon the type of target. At 1,000 m range the
current projectile has been demonstrated to pierce 40 mm of RHA plate and the secondary fragmentation behind the plate is considerable. The high velocity bestows an
exceptionally flat trajectory; the vertex apogee at 1,000 m range is no more than 800 mm above the line of sight. <ref>[http://www.steyr-aug.com/amr.htm Steyr-Aug.com entry on IWS 2000]</ref>
