SCAR vs ACR Part I

http://www.militaryarmschannel.com
This is part one of a multipart series where we will be comparing the Bushmaster ACR to the FN SCAR 16S. The ACR and SCAR are two top contenders for the up coming military trails to select a replacement for the Colt M4 service rifle. The Bushmaster ACR and FN SCAR 16S have many similar features and several differences.

This is a re-upload as I had to make some changes to the original video due to the Partnership Program.

So would the commercial availability be affected if one of the guns make it to use in our armed services?

[Sturmgewehre]

@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.

where's the serial number gonna be?

[Sturmgewehre]

@arsdag81 The serial number is on the upper for both rifles. The lowers do not have serial numbers.

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

what happened to this trial to replace the M4?

[supermorshu]

I carry mine around in public places.

They should use the XCR. its a really great gun

[Trader0692]

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.

@Sturmgewehre

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.

@JUKEBOXX1990 ok, show me some proof

[TheSillmatic]

I know the charging handle moves with the bolt with every shot on the SCAR, but does it do the same with the ACR?
