@Taud And I do own firearms, rather than going down a list I just tell you my favorite it is a Springfield M1 Garand.

@ST4leave Well you could have fooled me with your only statement being about the guns looks, after all youre the one that mentioned CoD too, i didnt say anything about that shit
Talkin about dogs on a leesh? you had to write two paragraphs to get your point across and make sure i know you "know more than the average american" and list your favorite gun, like it somehow gives you more credibility, I'd expect than comment from a 12 year old thats all....
If you have ever used one you would see why, the SCAR's stock provides a much better cheek weld than any AR15 stock, putting the sight plane at a higher point on the body. However VLTOR is offering a kit that will allow you to use a AR buffer tube and stock assy, but I have no idea why anyone would want to do so...
@SuperExtremeAirsoft Maybe not, it would be less than 10 years, but the HK416 is looking like the very likely rifle to replace the M4. The HK416 is very impressive in durability and all it is, is a modified M4. All you have to do is upgrade the current M4s, which would be very cheap and economical and considering it had very high reliability, it will be the one. Now the SCAR and ACR will be duking it out for the special forces.
@Ah1692 You are wrong. The M4's are direct gas impingment. The HK416's are piston. They are two totally different guns. The M4 is a piece of garbage. I have not fired or even handled an HK416, but they don't look like anything special. Maybe to the HK fanboys, but not to your average gun owner.
@theboredman1 M4 is a solid weapon dude, proven itself more capable than any of these new guns. The HK416 is an UPGRADE of the M4. They are different but you CAN upgrade the M4A1s to be HK416s. Go check it out dude...
They shoot the same sized projectile, a 7.62mm bullet, but the AK casing is 39mm long and the Scar casing is 51mm long... hence the names 7.62x39mm and the 7.62x51mm
@SuperRip7 Everything except the bolt, bolt carrier, upper receiver, barrel, the pins that hold the gun together, rails, mag, sights, gas piston, and mag release. Every thing else is polymer which is basically a almost indestructible plastic. The rifle is well put together. Don't let the plastic fool you.
not to be a fanboy but it is a very nice shooting system. I would say the recoil is somewhere between a Carbine or a midlength. (That may be to the credit of the muzzle break IDK) The balance is great if you can teach yourself to always hold it correctly. I've been meaning to pick one up but I'm still waiting for the rest of my BCM parts for that build. ...I've almost given up waiting. :0/ Great Video Gweb.
i love the SCAR. it is a cannon in your arms and sure the "recon" ones are extremely light but look into the heavy version. it is amazing to be behind and my weapon of choice
I've handled a few and fired some, while they shoot very nice, I'm always worried about breaking the stock on them. Whether it be the stock latch or the cheek rise button. When TangoDown releases their metal replacement parts and extended rail I will definately be looking at getting one of these.
please to the uploaders of gun reviews when you do a review of an airsoft gun put airsoft in the video title so people looking out for the real gun review dont waste their time seriously that is annoying
Thanks nice review. I would love to have a SCAR-S. But I think Sig 556 is close enough at less than half the price I doubt the recoil is much difference cause the piston system is similar.
@ratkic86 I moved to Malaysia and right now I am in Australia for my studies but either case, gun ownership is very hard to accomplish. In Australia a genuine reason must be given and self defence is not a genuine reason...in Malaysia you have to get permission from the police in order to own a firearm and in this case it will take months if not years to get an answer. As for Singapore I vaguely remember that a citizen is not allowed to own full auto weapons or pistols above .32 cal
@shotgunn9 i agree with you, the AK is unbreakable but it would need a few upgrades to keep up with rifles such as the SCAR H whose accuracy and handling is better......
@shotgunn9 Depends on your definition of the word "reliable". I.E. I'm an enemy at 300 yards equipped with an m4. You have an AK. The M4 in this case is more reliable.
@jalemo21 this arguement is as old as the AK47 itself. i shoot my AK just as far as my AR-15 and they perform equally well. Also lets assume we're in ragged dirty conditions during this shootout. in that respect the AK is more reliable.
@jalemo21 When you look at the spec of each rifle. An M4 would have more mobility and accuracy but not enough power. An AK-47 on the other hand would have more power (7.64mm Ammunition) (and in technical terms its a machinegun in rifle form) but it has more weight and has terrible stability if you watch an AK being fired you can see the barrel wobbling.
yeah only its look better, it preforms better, its lights, has a gas piston which makes it more reliable, oh the stock not only adjust but folds and has a check rest.
in my opinion FN has put a good price tag in this. i mean you can get this for 2,500 or spend 1,000 on ar15 and put a $300 piston in it, and spend $2,000 on parts that will ware down more often than that of the scar. overall scar owns ar15
@CloneCaptainV2224 That's because with each generation of development the ACR started to "steal" more and more of the SCAR's features. Look at the first protoypes compared to the final ones and then the production version... Even the stock is direct "loan".
@SqoundreL Magpul didn't steal anything. the ACR has more features than the SCAR. I think you wanted to say that ACR stole from SCAR the folding stock, right? the features of both ACR and SCAR foldingstocks are taken from the UMP 45 and M4 or Uzi or whatever weapon that has a folding stock..
also, Magpul said that they wanted to make a gun better than the M16 not the SCAR or the M4. FN wanted to replace the M4 and Magpul wanted to replace the M16.
@556forlunch more like brilliant idea. This gun performs superbly. Very few stoppages, flexible to mission needs, ambidextrous, two rifles chambering two different rounds, compact. The list goes on man. Theres a reason are SoF uses this weapon...
@556forlunch you know to be honest, if i had to pick a replacment for the m4/m16, i would pick the Barrett Rec7. That thing is a monster. It can also easily take on the role of a designated marksman since it has the range of 600 meters.
@WitnessMELOx15 yeah i agree with the upgrade to 6.8 or 6.5g but i dont think that the military or nato is going to adopt another round. think they have too much invested in 5.56/ 7.62. fn is right on with not developing a multi cal rifle, just a role oriented platform, mk16/ mk17. and both rifles are bad ass.
yes i know he said that he doesnt know much about the scar, but i have to complain that for a review of the scar, one should mention that the gun can be fired with a folding stock, and that the gas release can be used with the suppressor so it has a more simple design
Comparatively speaking, you would get more "bang for the buck" buy opting to purchase a POF-16-MRR-308-RECON over the SCAR. I know some will disagree, but please do some research before you argue against my point. SCAR's have a polymer lower receiver, POF's have a aluminum alloy lower, etc, etc. Just because the military has "adopted" a rifle doesn't mean that it is void of defect. The original variation of the M16 was an absolute failure during the pre-Vietnam war, and cost many American lives.
@roth0211 You're citing history, but making an invalid comparison. Furthermore, the SCAR has undergone more rigorous testing than most other small arms on the market, including POF. The military testing isn't going to be a guarantee of perfection, but it IS a testament to the fact the the rifle is a solid platform. Read the reports. You're asking others to do research, but I feel you should do some of your own. What incidents have you read of there being issues with polymer lower receivers?
@opmike343 I guess you can call me "old school" for not trusting polymer as a basis for a lower assy. Aside from that, I have read many complaints regarding the trigger mechs, stocks and stock latches. Upon further research I have also found that some operators don't care for the iron sights. Perhaps I'm just a traditionalist and prefer the M4 platform, or perhaps I need to expand my horizons and think outside the box. Or just maybe I should buy an ACR and run-and-gun it till I can find a fault.
@avaiboot the black models were designed for the police in majority and the tan/od green ones are actually favored and designed for military cause its easier to paint a tan/OD rifle than a black one....in my opinion
@SwoopdySwoop I'm pretty sure "ease-of-painting" wasn't at the forefront when it came to FN's coloring decision. Where do you people come up with this stuff.
@huejohnson sorry to say, but when i go to the armory i get handed a rifle that says fn on it. and for the entire military to change its service rifle is an amazingly huge task. not only do you have to buy them, you need to train us to shoot it, fix it, and many other things. yes the m16 is sensitive to dirt, but we cleaned ours every chance we got, so it wasn't a problem. plus it has been updated, we are on m16-A4 and its a great rifle.
@VonDuross WELL IM GLAD U CLEANED IT EVERY CHANCE U GOT. CAUSE I REMEMBER THE CHANCES IN LIVE COMBAT WERE SLIM TO NONE. IF THAT SUCKER JAMS DUE TO DIRT OR CARBON BUILD UP ITS A LIFE TAKER. THE MILITARY SHOULD EITHER GO WITH THE BARRET REC 7 IN EITHER 6.8 OR 5.56, OR THE HK 416. BOTH ARE BASED ON THE M16 PLATFORM, SO TRAINING IS NEGLEGABLE, ONLY TO TEACHIN THE TROOPS BOUT THE GAS PISTON SYSTEM. THE SCAR SHOULD STAY WHERE IT IS IN THE SPEC OPS COMMUNITY, UNLESS THE ARMY WANTS TO TRAIN EVERY1.
@SovietUnionRedArmy I won't argue about the -74 having better reliability. For the most part, the M4 isn't bad at all if you have good magazines and keep it wet. There lots of small things about an M4 that are clear advantages over an AK-74. Modularity, location of controls, faster reloads, ease of mounting optics, option of swapping for a different caliber upper or barrel length, and maybe slightly more accurate overall. The 74 and variants do have thier purpose and I wouldnt mind getting one.
THE ONE THING I JUST DONT LIKE ABOUT THE SCAR IS THE WAY THE BARREL PRUTRUDES NAKED LIKE THAT. ID PERSONALLY GO FOR A SHORTER LENGTH. IT JUST HURTS MY EYES LOOKING AT IT. AS FOR THE GUN ITSELF, NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO FIRE ONE, BUT FROM WHAT IVE HEARD AND OBVIOUSLY SEE IS THAT THIS GUN IS TOP NOTCH. THEY SHOULD CHAMBER IT FOR 6.8SPC THEN THIS GUN WOULD KICK REAL ASS. LOVE THE AMBIDEXTROUS CONTROLS AND FOLDING STOCK. ASSUALT RIFLE TO SUB GUN, 7.62 X 51 CQB, OVERKILL ANYONE.....HOOAH!!!
IF COLT CAME OUT WITH A GAS PISTON OPERATED M16/M4, THESE NEW GUNS WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS. DONT KNOW WHY THEY KEEP ON PUMPING OUT MORE DI GUNS, WHEN EVERYONE COMPLAINS BOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THAT SYSTEM. ID RATHER HAVE A FEW OUNCES OF WEIGHT INCREASE FOR THE PISTON, THAN HAVE MY GUN JAM ON ME IN A FIREFIGHT. DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT OUR GOV KNOWS BETTER BUT DOESNT CARE. MUST BE THE COST. WHATS A GAS PISTON CONVERSION KIT GO FOR. THEY TALK ABOUT ALL THE UPGRADES YET IT STILL JAMS.
@HUEJOHNSON Colt lost its M16 contract to FN because they were outsourcing 80% of their parts, and quality suffered. Colt will never be a first-rate company ever again. Also upgrading the issue rifle for a military like ours is a huge task, the military prefers to adopt weapons in "leaps and bounds" rather than minor updates. It doesn't matter what "some operators" said about their M16s and M4s, the vast majority of troops are using them to great effect.
@PaleHorseWC2 THATS AN UNFORTUNATE MENTAL STATE OF OUR MILITARY. THE IRONY OF UR COMMENT IS THAT INSTEAD OF PURCHASING RIFLES THAT ARE AN INCREASE IN RELIABLITY, THE US ARMY CONTINUES TO PURCHASE M16/M4'S BY THE THOUSANDS. WHY, CAUSE COLT STILL HAS THE CONTRACT FOR STANDARD INF WEAPONS. YA THEY LOST THE SOCOM CONTRACT CAUSE THEIR SHIT IS THAT, SHIT, COMPARED TO THE HK416, X-M8 AND OTHER WEAP SYSTEMS IN THE COMPITION. THE M16/M4 IS AN OUTSTANDING RIFLE, THE GAS SYSTEM IS THE ACHILLIES HEAL.
@PaleHorseWC2 WEAPONS TODAY ARE THE PINNICALE OF PRJECTILE TECHNOLOGY. WHATS THE US MILITARY GONNA DO WAIT TILL WE HAVE LASER OR RAILGUNS. THE PLATFORMS WE HAVE AVAILABLE NOW ARE FIXING THE DEFICIENCIES OF PAST SYSTEMS. REALIABILITY, EROGONOMICS AND FUNCTIONALITY ARE THE KEY, AS WELL AS AMMO TECH. IF COLT WANTED TO CORRECT THIS, CHANGE THE GAS SYSTEM. UNTIL THEN THE M16/M4 WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DETRIMENT TO OUR TROOPS. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT CAREFULLY CARED FOR.
@bonkersbananas2010 ISNT AN AWSOME FEATURE. USE THE POWER OF THE CAPS LOCK BUTTON, IT MAKES UR POST STAND OUT MORE THEN EVERYONE ELSES......BAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!!!
I like both the Scar 16 and 17 after having spent 6 months with each overseas, didn't have any issues with either one and no major issues from any guys I work with who carried them. SOCOM is stopping the 16 mainly because of the price, and it is better than the M4, IMO but not THAT much better. I still love it. It's hard to get much better than the M4 without going to a different caliber.
To the guy below me the scar and the m4 went through a 60,000 round torture test and the results were the scar jammed 224 times and the m4 jammed 868 times.
I have fired one at a police academy. Great firearm, completely adjustable to the shooter. I didn't do any skilled type of shooting though, just ran a couple of magazines through it. The price is the only reason I haven't bought my own yet.
@GunWebsites well ive used one if you like the light youl love the heavy pluse no one on you tube even has a real veriosn of it its got a power full kick but youl get used to it
its funny...i cant help to think that it looks like a toy...i guess thats how they felt in the 60s when the m16 started being more widely used

I find many things in common between this one and the Bushmaster ACR.
CloneCaptainV2224 1 year ago
@CloneCaptainV2224 That's because with each generation of development the ACR started to "steal" more and more of the SCAR's features. Look at the first protoypes compared to the final ones and then the production version... Even the stock is direct "loan".
SqoundreL 1 year ago
@SqoundreL Magpul didn't steal anything. the ACR has more features than the SCAR. I think you wanted to say that ACR stole from SCAR the folding stock, right? the features of both ACR and SCAR foldingstocks are taken from the UMP 45 and M4 or Uzi or whatever weapon that has a folding stock..
also, Magpul said that they wanted to make a gun better than the M16 not the SCAR or the M4. FN wanted to replace the M4 and Magpul wanted to replace the M16.
they are both awesome guns anyway. =)

The US military really needs to integrate this as the M4/M16 replacement.

@556forlunch why?
WitnessMELOx15 1 year ago
@WitnessMELOx15 you can't give the military a rifle because it looks good, and has not proven itself
556forlunch 1 year ago
@556forlunch more like brilliant idea. This gun performs superbly. Very few stoppages, flexible to mission needs, ambidextrous, two rifles chambering two different rounds, compact. The list goes on man. Theres a reason are SoF uses this weapon...
WitnessMELOx15 1 year ago
@WitnessMELOx15 have you ever heard of the AR-10?and you cant truly know a gun unless you shoot it
556forlunch 1 year ago
@556forlunch you know to be honest, if i had to pick a replacment for the m4/m16, i would pick the Barrett Rec7. That thing is a monster. It can also easily take on the role of a designated marksman since it has the range of 600 meters.
WitnessMELOx15 1 year ago
@WitnessMELOx15 thats a great rifle
556forlunch 1 year ago
@WitnessMELOx15 yeah i agree with the upgrade to 6.8 or 6.5g but i dont think that the military or nato is going to adopt another round. think they have too much invested in 5.56/ 7.62. fn is right on with not developing a multi cal rifle, just a role oriented platform, mk16/ mk17. and both rifles are bad ass.

yes i know he said that he doesnt know much about the scar, but i have to complain that for a review of the scar, one should mention that the gun can be fired with a folding stock, and that the gas release can be used with the suppressor so it has a more simple design
no1ymfan 1 year ago
Comparatively speaking, you would get more "bang for the buck" buy opting to purchase a POF-16-MRR-308-RECON over the SCAR. I know some will disagree, but please do some research before you argue against my point. SCAR's have a polymer lower receiver, POF's have a aluminum alloy lower, etc, etc. Just because the military has "adopted" a rifle doesn't mean that it is void of defect. The original variation of the M16 was an absolute failure during the pre-Vietnam war, and cost many American lives.
roth0211 1 year ago
@roth0211 You're citing history, but making an invalid comparison. Furthermore, the SCAR has undergone more rigorous testing than most other small arms on the market, including POF. The military testing isn't going to be a guarantee of perfection, but it IS a testament to the fact the the rifle is a solid platform. Read the reports. You're asking others to do research, but I feel you should do some of your own. What incidents have you read of there being issues with polymer lower receivers?
opmike343 1 year ago
@opmike343 I guess you can call me "old school" for not trusting polymer as a basis for a lower assy. Aside from that, I have read many complaints regarding the trigger mechs, stocks and stock latches. Upon further research I have also found that some operators don't care for the iron sights. Perhaps I'm just a traditionalist and prefer the M4 platform, or perhaps I need to expand my horizons and think outside the box. Or just maybe I should buy an ACR and run-and-gun it till I can find a fault.
roth0211 1 year ago
I believe the rails on the sides are required to hold the outer barrel in place. But they make guards for them.
Rossmancer 1 year ago
@Rossmancer the rails on eitether side have no function other than to be used to attach things like tac. flashlights and such other attatchments.
the rails actually go over the body, so if removed, there will be no difference made other than it being a few grams lighter

@avaiboot
That is far from the truth, so no
GunWebsites 1 year ago 14
@avaiboot the black models were designed for the police in majority and the tan/od green ones are actually favored and designed for military cause its easier to paint a tan/OD rifle than a black one....in my opinion

@SwoopdySwoop I'm pretty sure "ease-of-painting" wasn't at the forefront when it came to FN's coloring decision. Where do you people come up with this stuff.

I have two questions
1) What's the purpose of having a bulky stock like that be able to fold up? Is it just to make it more compact for transport?
2) What does the gas control switch do?
bonkersbananas2010 1 year ago
@huejohnson sorry to say, but when i go to the armory i get handed a rifle that says fn on it. and for the entire military to change its service rifle is an amazingly huge task. not only do you have to buy them, you need to train us to shoot it, fix it, and many other things. yes the m16 is sensitive to dirt, but we cleaned ours every chance we got, so it wasn't a problem. plus it has been updated, we are on m16-A4 and its a great rifle.
VonDuross 1 year ago
@VonDuross WELL IM GLAD U CLEANED IT EVERY CHANCE U GOT. CAUSE I REMEMBER THE CHANCES IN LIVE COMBAT WERE SLIM TO NONE. IF THAT SUCKER JAMS DUE TO DIRT OR CARBON BUILD UP ITS A LIFE TAKER. THE MILITARY SHOULD EITHER GO WITH THE BARRET REC 7 IN EITHER 6.8 OR 5.56, OR THE HK 416. BOTH ARE BASED ON THE M16 PLATFORM, SO TRAINING IS NEGLEGABLE, ONLY TO TEACHIN THE TROOPS BOUT THE GAS PISTON SYSTEM. THE SCAR SHOULD STAY WHERE IT IS IN THE SPEC OPS COMMUNITY, UNLESS THE ARMY WANTS TO TRAIN EVERY1.

@SovietUnionRedArmy I won't argue about the -74 having better reliability. For the most part, the M4 isn't bad at all if you have good magazines and keep it wet. There lots of small things about an M4 that are clear advantages over an AK-74. Modularity, location of controls, faster reloads, ease of mounting optics, option of swapping for a different caliber upper or barrel length, and maybe slightly more accurate overall. The 74 and variants do have thier purpose and I wouldnt mind getting one.
kawrx2002 1 year ago
THE ONE THING I JUST DONT LIKE ABOUT THE SCAR IS THE WAY THE BARREL PRUTRUDES NAKED LIKE THAT. ID PERSONALLY GO FOR A SHORTER LENGTH. IT JUST HURTS MY EYES LOOKING AT IT. AS FOR THE GUN ITSELF, NEVER HAD THE CHANCE TO FIRE ONE, BUT FROM WHAT IVE HEARD AND OBVIOUSLY SEE IS THAT THIS GUN IS TOP NOTCH. THEY SHOULD CHAMBER IT FOR 6.8SPC THEN THIS GUN WOULD KICK REAL ASS. LOVE THE AMBIDEXTROUS CONTROLS AND FOLDING STOCK. ASSUALT RIFLE TO SUB GUN, 7.62 X 51 CQB, OVERKILL ANYONE.....HOOAH!!!
HUEJOHNSON 1 year ago
IF COLT CAME OUT WITH A GAS PISTON OPERATED M16/M4, THESE NEW GUNS WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS. DONT KNOW WHY THEY KEEP ON PUMPING OUT MORE DI GUNS, WHEN EVERYONE COMPLAINS BOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THAT SYSTEM. ID RATHER HAVE A FEW OUNCES OF WEIGHT INCREASE FOR THE PISTON, THAN HAVE MY GUN JAM ON ME IN A FIREFIGHT. DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME THAT OUR GOV KNOWS BETTER BUT DOESNT CARE. MUST BE THE COST. WHATS A GAS PISTON CONVERSION KIT GO FOR. THEY TALK ABOUT ALL THE UPGRADES YET IT STILL JAMS.
HUEJOHNSON 1 year ago
@HUEJOHNSON Colt lost its M16 contract to FN because they were outsourcing 80% of their parts, and quality suffered. Colt will never be a first-rate company ever again. Also upgrading the issue rifle for a military like ours is a huge task, the military prefers to adopt weapons in "leaps and bounds" rather than minor updates. It doesn't matter what "some operators" said about their M16s and M4s, the vast majority of troops are using them to great effect.
PaleHorseWC2 1 year ago
@PaleHorseWC2 THATS AN UNFORTUNATE MENTAL STATE OF OUR MILITARY. THE IRONY OF UR COMMENT IS THAT INSTEAD OF PURCHASING RIFLES THAT ARE AN INCREASE IN RELIABLITY, THE US ARMY CONTINUES TO PURCHASE M16/M4'S BY THE THOUSANDS. WHY, CAUSE COLT STILL HAS THE CONTRACT FOR STANDARD INF WEAPONS. YA THEY LOST THE SOCOM CONTRACT CAUSE THEIR SHIT IS THAT, SHIT, COMPARED TO THE HK416, X-M8 AND OTHER WEAP SYSTEMS IN THE COMPITION. THE M16/M4 IS AN OUTSTANDING RIFLE, THE GAS SYSTEM IS THE ACHILLIES HEAL.
HUEJOHNSON 1 year ago
@PaleHorseWC2 WEAPONS TODAY ARE THE PINNICALE OF PRJECTILE TECHNOLOGY. WHATS THE US MILITARY GONNA DO WAIT TILL WE HAVE LASER OR RAILGUNS. THE PLATFORMS WE HAVE AVAILABLE NOW ARE FIXING THE DEFICIENCIES OF PAST SYSTEMS. REALIABILITY, EROGONOMICS AND FUNCTIONALITY ARE THE KEY, AS WELL AS AMMO TECH. IF COLT WANTED TO CORRECT THIS, CHANGE THE GAS SYSTEM. UNTIL THEN THE M16/M4 WILL CONTINUE TO BE A DETRIMENT TO OUR TROOPS. ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE NOT CAREFULLY CARED FOR.

I like both the Scar 16 and 17 after having spent 6 months with each overseas, didn't have any issues with either one and no major issues from any guys I work with who carried them. SOCOM is stopping the 16 mainly because of the price, and it is better than the M4, IMO but not THAT much better. I still love it. It's hard to get much better than the M4 without going to a different caliber.

I have fired one at a police academy. Great firearm, completely adjustable to the shooter. I didn't do any skilled type of shooting though, just ran a couple of magazines through it. The price is the only reason I haven't bought my own yet.

It looks difficult to aim quickly. M16A4 looks extremely easier with larger sights. If only they had Gas Pistons
Flaggedagain 1 year ago
@Flaggedagain Both use peep sights that are essentially the same.
The one's on the SCAR are intended to be back up for an optic (whether it be a 1X or something with magnification) as they fold.
