@TheTrueRandomness oh, nevermind, should have looked at the bottom of the screen where it says "demonstration round only"... guess whoever edited this had the same WTF effect then^^
@captainRex870 There are quite a few rifles that are being tested but there is a better chance of replacing the M16 DI gas system with the gas piston. that would be a cheeper solution but it would be nice for a change.
i like the SCAR. mostly of the FN weapons i really look them as good weapons. i never shot even a 22 lr but i just have that sensastion. i imagine that in combat is very complicated because u have your nerves to 100 and u fight not only for your country u did for your people who protects you.but i think its a nice gun, probably better than the m16.
I was torn on whether to get a Bushmaster ACR enhanced or a SCAR 16. I think I'm going with the SCAR though. Seems like I'd break the damn ACR if I squeezed it too hard.
@acescouter1992 The XM-8 performed well in the Army trials as far as stoppages go, main thing I dont like is if you want to use any other optics such as an ACOG, it sits way high above the bore, which renders the range bars on the ACOG inaccurate. Most carbine optics are designed to be used with a 2.5 inch hight over bore, where the XM-8's would be awkwardly much more.
@kawrx2002 The reason FN didnt get a contract with us is because they dont have the manufaturing to produce the MASSIVE quantity we need. And [arts and so on and so fourth
@Limeisback2012 .... the wieght difference is minimal light refers to the round it uses.
Light = 5.56x45mm NATO(.223 Rem.) 20-30 round box mags I'm unsure if the C-Mag works with the SCAR-L. Oh and if you want to run MagPul Pmags carefully sanding the inside of the reciever will allow the use of any magazine but do it CAREFULLY!
Heavy = 7.62x51mm NATO(.308 Win) I believe its 10-20 round box mags.
@rln1029 I've never had any problems with Pmags in this gun, except for when you use the grenade launcher, you have to use different mags. Maybe mine was a different version as there are several.
Found out the Bushmasters ACR assault rifle is the exact model of tje scar, but with some prostetic upgrades like a new charging handle and barrel assembly and foregrip.
like the second model. This is a 2nd gen, so the cheekpiece has two positions, wheras the 3rd has three, and the stock on the 2nd has 3 positions, the 3rd gen has 6.
To my eyes, the FN SCAR looks like a cross between an M16 and the old FN FAL. The mags for the SCAR (Heavy) look like they came straight off the FAL, too.
If you were trying to design a 21st century FAL, this is what it would look like.
i went to your page last night and watch ur review and ur right u have nothing to prove to me , just urself stop lying theres only about 10 for sale right nowin the whole u.s. their fetching anywhere from 5-8 grand a piece, just make a video of it:)
Unfortunately when using certain optics like an EOTECH, the charging handle (if placed on the right side) is not far enough under the optic to be effectively charged with your full hand. You can use your finger to push the handle back, but its very awkward. ACOGs mounted farther back have no problems.
Plus you shooters who grip the magwell may get a nasty bruise on your thumb because of the reciprocating charging handle.
I hated this gun, preferring a M14 EBR until i heard it had 87% parts commonality between the 7.62 and 5.56 versions. I tried it, and haven't picked up my heavy M14 again.
The FN SCAR is my favourite weapon. It first reminded me on a G3 somehow but the point is that gun is a total new based on no other gun which was ever made before.
P.S.: Most of the new generation guns are braun like this SCAR aren´t they ?
HK 416 and 417 are allot better guns in my personal opinion, although i have not gotten the chance to fire a 417 yet i assume its just as amazing as the 416
The norwegian forces are facing out the G3 in favour of the H&K 416.. its the first country in the world that will issue it as a standard issue rifle, like the us forces does with the M16.. i will be trained to fire the 416 during my conscription time next year. im looking forward to trying it!
Uhhh.... haven't you heard of the figure of speech? Besides, the HK 416 proved that it was very resilient to almost every element. All the SCAR showed in this video is the disassembly, firing, and it's grenade launcher. Nope... I haven't heard the word reliable yet. Maybe because it has the same amount of reliability as current -gen rifles. And yes, you CAN tell how reliable a weapon is by it's looks.
In a recent test the scar xm8 and hk416 were compared. 6000 rounds were fired from each rifle in a high dust environment. The xm8 jammed the least with 126 stoppages the scar jammed second least with 226 and the hk416 jammed 233 times. It should also be noted that the m4 was used as a control. It jammed 800 some times. The scar jams less than the hk416.
7 times less jams is nothing, you have to admit! Plus, the replacement of the M16 would be less expensive with the HK416, as only the upper receiver would be replaced.
That is one NICE rifle. I am salivating at the thought of owning one someday. No more Carbon in the action, yay! Left-side charging handle, yay! Modularity, yay!
Ergonomics, yay! 7.62x51 in a service rifle, FINALLY, yay!
Not at all, the early prototype was based on the Belgian FN (as FN is a Belgian company) FNC, but the latter versions are supposedly conceived from scratch.
Actually there's a marksman 'sniperized' version, CQB and a support weapon version (new US program, seeking 30 rnds). btw the FN Minimi (SAW M249) is now also available in a Heavy version shooting 7.62NATO.
Units that fall under SOCOM (Navy SEALs, Rangers, and Special Forces) You'll start seeing more of them in September 2007. The rest of the Army may follow eventually(They are still doing tests).
nice weapon!!! amdextrious & interchangability between cqb/light & heavy rifle. however, after rejecting the 6.8 spc as overhyped marketing, i thought the u.s. would at least consider replacing that piece of sh^t 5.56mm with the 6.5mm grendel cartridge
the 5.56mm nato is the round dessided apon by nato for use as the standard rifle round. nato chose it cause the US had so many of them. now thats what nato's stuck with and the U.S.A. is a member of nato
there's 2 things we Belgians do *really* well, that's waffles and guns, now.. if we could just find a way to combine the two we'll be masters of the universe! ...
