@jcmonr81 True... it does seem that way. You guys get a good look at it since I post video just about every week. This winter has been mild though, usually I have a foot or two of snow to wade through. :)
the ACR is extremely easy to field strip and i also like the non recipricating bolt. for some ppl thats a problem with hand placement and attaching lights or lasers. its still an awsome gun but i like the ACR very much. id bet my life on either of them though.
I liked the M1 Garand and M1 Carbine - no tiny parts to lose when field stripping in the dark or in mud and snow. That is why they call it field stripping. Nice to see that in the ACR field stripping that the little pins don't come out whereas in the SCAR the charging handle comes out and can get lost. There is no real reason to disssemble the bolt group in both rifles in the field.
I don't have an ACR, but, I found out recently that Bushmaster will be releasing a 6.8SPCII Conversion kit within 2 months. However, it was promised to be out a LONG time ago so It may be longer, I was assured that it's definitely coming out by bushmaster representative.
i say inseat of deploying only small groups of scars and acr's to only special forces i think that our secretary of defense and our high chain of command of generals from the USMC ,ARMY,NAVY,AND AIRFORCE should recomend a total replacment to the modern day bush master 6.8 magpul masada acr or as extended version adaptive combat rifle to give our armed forces a upper hand in battle
@USMCsemperfitillidie Yea but think about re teaching EVERY service member to use a different gun. In my opinion the HK416 would be better since its essentially the same platform as the M4. Service members wouldn't have to go that extra mile since they are already familiar with the M4. With the ACR its school all over again. Too much time and work. The HK416 is a fantastic weapon as well. I'd like one if they weren't so expensive.
ACR is overrated. The only reason it's popular is because of Future weapons and Call of Duty. Scar to me is a much nicer gun, and it's lighter. Now if Magpul would have had the production capacity to make the rifle, it probably would have been better, and lighter.
i think that the acr mark1 looked cooler. it looked alot smoother. if you dont know what im talking about, watch the future weapons episode(or for you people who only know this from cod, which annoys me, its on mw2.
@GreatToastMigration It's pretty much a revamped M4 with a new gas system instead of D.I. . The rails will also except anything that the M4 would. Also, they are much more reliable, they can be submerged in water (over the beach) then shot. M4's seem not to work to well after over the beach :(
@jameswray50 More than likely, yes. The weapon that was selected would suddenly become very scarce. All production would go to meet the military contract. You wouldn't see them on the civilian market again until that contract was satisfied.
FN SCAR and HK 416 are already in service in US special forces like Delta Force, DEVGRU aka Seal Team 6, 75 Ranger Regiments, and other special forces.
They are other weapons to replace the M4A1 & M16A4 like M468, Robinson Armament XCR, LWRC M6A4, SIG 556, Bushmaster ACR, & Colt ACC-M. The Marines doesn't favor LWRC M6A4 only HK416.
It would be better if they test fires XCR, SIG 556, ACR, & Colt ACC-M to see which assault rifles is better.
@TheScrapMonster doubtful, expensive as hell and made for spec-ops, only advantages to the M16 family are reliability, ergonomics, and ease of caliber/barrel change.
Just an FYI, not sure if you have included it on any of the other videos, but Bushmaster/Remington announced they are making a few changes to the ACR design that is coming out shortly. I don't remember the full list, but a few changes are a folding charging handle, and I believe they also decided against the folding stock on the enhanced version. It still looks exactly the same, but is now fixed.
They have also announced a few different variations that are releasing soon.
@skllStitches I just realized you had a video of the changes on your channel. Now I feel like an ass, because you are clearly aware of the changes. Hope to see some reviews of the changes then!
@TheRAZORBLADE99 not it want. the Only ACR on the market for civilian use is the Bushmaster. the one running for military trials is made by remington.
ME and my dad are looking to get a couple of good modern gun. Although im stuck on the ACR my dad want a 308(Scar 17s). Im looking for advice of which one to get. If u could please respond and tell me what your opinion is thanks.
lol iv been searching videos all over youtube of reviews of the scar and the acr but i never figured to look for one when they are side by side, could some one give me there personal opinion thought, btw im leaning more towards the scar
@SteeliesOrbs actually the scar is lighter if you watch part 3 he talks about the weight and balance, the acr is also front heavy so the swing weight on the acr is more so advantage scar
He is pronouncing sturmgewehre correctly dumbass. If you watch any history or military channel shows that talk about the german rifle, he pronounces it just like ALL of the firearm historians do. So do your homework before you say something stupid. It is not pronounced the way it is spelled. Any time you see "wehre" in a german word its pronouned "vare". so sturmgewehre is pronounced; sturm-ga-vare.
@TheStrangerWithCandy people do however i've seen it on many a video, its sad i know, hence my warning to you that on many real gun videos people reply quite nastily to cod comments, Sturmgewehre's subscribers are generally good and i have seen virtually none on his videos
@CaptainNavarro1104 I think it should be the ACR because it is highly adaptive (ACR stands for Adaptive Combat Rifle) you change the barrel length in like 30 seconds or you can completely change the caliber to a 5.56x45 to a 7.62x39 in like a minute or two, their is also way more calibers you can choose from.
I really want an ACR Basic Folder! (That's the one with the polymer fore end & the folding stock.) I don't get why Bushmaster didn't offer that configuration right from the start, especially considering that;s the config of the original Magpul Masada, & the one that most people want. I am glad that they finally saw the light though!
I've never been a fan of the SCAR Light (16S), although the precision rifle based on the SCAR Heavy definitely has me drooling!!!!!
@Sturmgewehre have you done a Robinson Arms XCR L review yet? If not, could you do one? I enjoy all your reviews. Other than slightly disagreeing with the Colt 6920 review. lol!
@GeLsEnKiRcHeN95 remington made the masada is looks exactly like the acr but when it failed miserably bushmaster stepped in and played a partnership in redesigning the gun now since they have made one of the best military assault rifles in th world remingotn gets all military sales and bushmaster gets all civilian sales
@spiffyprez Thanks for the info, I'm still deciding if I want to get an ACR or a Bushmaster A2 style AR.... The ACR is a little pricey tho, last I heard it was almost 3k.... thanks for the information though
@GeLsEnKiRcHeN95 I don't know what spiffy was talking about, but Magpul designed the Masada (ACR) and sold the design to Bushmaster. Remington and Bushmaster are both owned by Freedom Group. A Bushmaster ACR costs around $1900. I believe they have been sold for as low as $1500.
@ViolentKisses87 You could take a Dremel to the selector lever. The only reason I haven't is because I haven't ordered a replacement. I was hoping a 3rd party would offer a different lever for sale so I wouldn't have to chop my OEM one up.
I'm not a fan of the multi colored rifle. They say it's flat dark earth. Looks like a mix of three different colors of coyote brown. That bugs me, but not as much as the price does.
The Individual Carbine Competition is a joke. Nothing came of it in 2000, 2006, and the recent controversy regarding the ICC this year will likely set it back even further. As a active duty Soldier, I'd love to have a far more reliable weapon such as the ACR, SCAR, or 416 (ACR seems more likely as it's cheaper). 50+ million down the drain since the ICC inception just goes to prove how stupid the procurement process is.
You should have a an m4-style AR15 as a control in these.Maybe alot to ask, but maybe throw in some of the other competitors? HK416 (I know you have the civilian version of that), the XCR, and POSSIBLY a REC7. You don't have to put them all on camera, just mention some ways the other rifles are different or better
@Sturm, Its my understanding that you buy each weapon and accessory that you review. Do you keep everything or do you sell the items you don't need/care for? Thanks.
Amazing video!!! Thank you for posting! Quick question, is the ACR a piston driven system or still the DI system? Same question for Scar? Thanks again for posting!!!
@altops I've seen the videos from SHOT too. But I'll wait to say it's the greatest rifle ever until I've shot one and it passes military trials... any military trials. It certainly looks great, but I also have some concerns about the unnecessary do-dads that ad complexity to a rifle that should be stupid simple.
@Sturmgewehrere what was an unnecessary do-dadd? I thought the design was cave man simple, truly tool-less design, (no bullet tip) and as the booth host said, the rifle was in field operations with Italy's military and police for some time. Push button eject selector, push button assembly and barrel swap was instant in comparison to the next best design, I saw nothing worthy of criticism. And with the heritage and history of Beretta its a site on seen gun.
@altops The booth host said these were in field ops with the Italian Military and Police? So what he was saying is these rifles have never been field fired, but passed the drop test at least once. :-P
@altops But, with all that being said, I have high hopes for the rifle too and will be first in line with money once they release them. It was one of the most interesting new firearms at SHOT this year for sure.
@altops But, with all that being said, I have high hopes for the rifle too and will be first in line with money once they release them. It was one of the most interesting new firearms at SHOT this year for sure.
How about you also show a military issue M4 carbine in the same manner for comparison - it might make it a more interesting document for non-gunnies researching the issue, as well as allowing you to point out good and bad points of the current M4 vs the two pretenders.
Man, I thought these videos were gone forever....freakin pissed me off originally. Thanks for re-uploading. I see you got your "own" intro music now....nice!
@ConcealedFirepower yeah, right. They both fire the same bullet at about the same speed. by definition that means they will be equally effective at killing. As a system one may be a little more effective than the other, but it won't be a big difference because of the intended similarity to the M4.
@MavHunter20XX The one in the game is. If I remember correctly (been a while since I've touched it), the one in the game is the M14A1 Squad Automatic Rifle. Regular M14's don't always have their selector switches because firing those things in full auto is very impractical. The M14A1's have them permanently installed because they are meant for surpressive fire
@zma924 A SAW, as you suggested, is not an assault rifle, it's a light machine-gun (I remember reading up on the M14 that was built up to be a light machine gun). But as for an M14 platform, it's a battle rifle.
@MavHunter20XX Ah, you know what? That's right. I was going based off of the list of things needed to be considered an assault rifle but I forgot that firing an intermediate cartridge is on that list, something the M14 does not do.
1-as much as I appreciate the design and quality of both of these rifles I wonder; what would be gained by going to either platform if you're going to stay with 5.56X45?
2-I would like to know a bit more about that triggers in both guns-are they about the same as the trigger in the military M4? Smoother? lighter? single or 2 stage? just curious.
@51Dss The triggers are nearly identical to the AR. Actually, the ACR has an AR trigger in it. The SCAR has it's own trigger design, but it's still very much a standard military trigger.
@Sturmgewehre I see; main reason I'm curious about the triggers is that my Stag AR trigger is "mil spec" which I think is a way of saying "not smooth" LOL feels a bit notchy to me
@51Dss I'm with ya. I don't see a need to change unless they go with a a different caliber like 6.8 or 6.5 (witch would be a logistics problem). Even then those could be adapted to an AR platform. If it aint broke, don't fix it (this is coming from an AK guy). There is a reason why we still have C-130's, B-52's, A-10 warthog's, they simply work.
@burgerboy13 I'm interested in knowing more about the logistical complications you speak of - 6.8 or 6.5 - exactly what I was thinking - while I like my AR (in 5.56) a LOT - I would love to have one in either of those 2 calibers - I'm really not a hunter-never shot a deer - but considering the latest trends in our economy I would like to have an AR better capable of taking deer, feral hogs, bad guys...etc. - you know just in case the shtf
@51Dss the gains include: a more reliable piston design, quick change caliber, quick change barrel, and really nothing else. i dont think theres any reason for our gov to spend that money just to get rid of di, but i'd be glad if they went to 6.8 caus that'd make 6.8 ammo go down.
I like the videos. One thing I have noticed is that Indiana has crappy weather.

oh also for the charging handle you would get a rod that you have to insert between where the charging handle would go to make it safe
it would be orange cause the color in the video is scary
there would also be mag and bolt release buttons so you need the tip of the round to release the mag and the bolt
there wont be a muzzle break cause that hides the flash completely
and the gas block would be gone
if you want more upcoming features for the peoples republic of newyork scar rifles just ask

in newyork this rifle would have ALOT of safety features
Charging handle would be gone, since criminals use it to load evil rounds
the stock would be locked in the farthest position but you could get any stock in any position but they would all be locked
the barrel would be a "sporter" and 35 inches long
the stock wouldn't fold cause thats what bankrobbers use to compactly shoot
the flip up sites would be locked in the "down" position
and a max of 2 round magazines
that would make it safe~

As I'm sure you know, the military ACR will be made by Remington. And will probably be made a little better then the Bushmaster.

@sturmgewehr how may rifles do you have? Your taste in firearms is not cheap!

@altops I think sturmgewehr was referring to the option of left or right side ejection on the ARX 160. Either way I want one.

Never realized just how alike these guns look.
Just by glancing at them side by side it's damn near impossible to tell them apart unless you notice little details.

The Individual Carbine Competition is a joke. Nothing came of it in 2000, 2006, and the recent controversy regarding the ICC this year will likely set it back even further. As a active duty Soldier, I'd love to have a far more reliable weapon such as the ACR, SCAR, or 416 (ACR seems more likely as it's cheaper). 50+ million down the drain since the ICC inception just goes to prove how stupid the procurement process is.

Do you know if the military is looking at changing calibers?
edgybob1 5 months ago
@edgybob1 Definitely not. With the Marines now using the MK318 MOD 0 and the Army adopting the M855A1 you wont see a caliber change in a long time.

Do you plan on getting the Berretta ARX160 (if civil sales allow)? That would be a good add-on to this series.
Really like your no nonesense reviews, keep up the reat work.

You should have a an m4-style AR15 as a control in these.Maybe alot to ask, but maybe throw in some of the other competitors? HK416 (I know you have the civilian version of that), the XCR, and POSSIBLY a REC7. You don't have to put them all on camera, just mention some ways the other rifles are different or better

@altops I've seen the videos from SHOT too. But I'll wait to say it's the greatest rifle ever until I've shot one and it passes military trials... any military trials. It certainly looks great, but I also have some concerns about the unnecessary do-dads that ad complexity to a rifle that should be stupid simple.
Sturmgewehre 5 months ago
@Sturmgewehrere what was an unnecessary do-dadd? I thought the design was cave man simple, truly tool-less design, (no bullet tip) and as the booth host said, the rifle was in field operations with Italy's military and police for some time. Push button eject selector, push button assembly and barrel swap was instant in comparison to the next best design, I saw nothing worthy of criticism. And with the heritage and history of Beretta its a site on seen gun.
altops 5 months ago
@altops The booth host said these were in field ops with the Italian Military and Police? So what he was saying is these rifles have never been field fired, but passed the drop test at least once. :-P
RCStomper 5 months ago
@altops But, with all that being said, I have high hopes for the rifle too and will be first in line with money once they release them. It was one of the most interesting new firearms at SHOT this year for sure.

How about you also show a military issue M4 carbine in the same manner for comparison - it might make it a more interesting document for non-gunnies researching the issue, as well as allowing you to point out good and bad points of the current M4 vs the two pretenders.

yousteady 5 months ago
@ConcealedFirepower yeah, right. They both fire the same bullet at about the same speed. by definition that means they will be equally effective at killing. As a system one may be a little more effective than the other, but it won't be a big difference because of the intended similarity to the M4.

It's kinda ironic that you put and EOTech and an Aimpoint on the two different rifles. Those optics are as controversial as those two rifles are.

Just played COD: Black ops recently.....felt awkward choosing an M14 in the assault rifle selection....as it isn't an assault rifle.
MavHunter20XX 5 months ago
@MavHunter20XX The one in the game is. If I remember correctly (been a while since I've touched it), the one in the game is the M14A1 Squad Automatic Rifle. Regular M14's don't always have their selector switches because firing those things in full auto is very impractical. The M14A1's have them permanently installed because they are meant for surpressive fire
zma924 5 months ago
@zma924 A SAW, as you suggested, is not an assault rifle, it's a light machine-gun (I remember reading up on the M14 that was built up to be a light machine gun). But as for an M14 platform, it's a battle rifle.
MavHunter20XX 5 months ago
@MavHunter20XX Ah, you know what? That's right. I was going based off of the list of things needed to be considered an assault rifle but I forgot that firing an intermediate cartridge is on that list, something the M14 does not do.
zma924 5 months ago
2 things:
1-as much as I appreciate the design and quality of both of these rifles I wonder; what would be gained by going to either platform if you're going to stay with 5.56X45?
2-I would like to know a bit more about that triggers in both guns-are they about the same as the trigger in the military M4? Smoother? lighter? single or 2 stage? just curious.
51Dss 5 months ago 4
@51Dss The triggers are nearly identical to the AR. Actually, the ACR has an AR trigger in it. The SCAR has it's own trigger design, but it's still very much a standard military trigger.
Sturmgewehre 5 months ago
@Sturmgewehre I see; main reason I'm curious about the triggers is that my Stag AR trigger is "mil spec" which I think is a way of saying "not smooth" LOL feels a bit notchy to me
51Dss 5 months ago
@51Dss I'm with ya. I don't see a need to change unless they go with a a different caliber like 6.8 or 6.5 (witch would be a logistics problem). Even then those could be adapted to an AR platform. If it aint broke, don't fix it (this is coming from an AK guy). There is a reason why we still have C-130's, B-52's, A-10 warthog's, they simply work.
burgerboy13 5 months ago
@burgerboy13 I'm interested in knowing more about the logistical complications you speak of - 6.8 or 6.5 - exactly what I was thinking - while I like my AR (in 5.56) a LOT - I would love to have one in either of those 2 calibers - I'm really not a hunter-never shot a deer - but considering the latest trends in our economy I would like to have an AR better capable of taking deer, feral hogs, bad guys...etc. - you know just in case the shtf
51Dss 5 months ago
@51Dss the gains include: a more reliable piston design, quick change caliber, quick change barrel, and really nothing else. i dont think theres any reason for our gov to spend that money just to get rid of di, but i'd be glad if they went to 6.8 caus that'd make 6.8 ammo go down.
