SCAR-L/H

The SCAR (abbreviation of either "Special forces Combat Assault Rifle" or "Special forces Combat Assault Rifle", the latter the SOCOM program name) is a family of self-loading, automatic, sniper, and assault rifles made by Fabrique Nationale (FN) for the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to the requirements of the SCAR competition. The family of rifles consist of two main types, one (the SCAR-L, for light) chambered for the 5.56 mm NATO cartridge and the other (the SCAR-H, for heavy) for the 7.62 mm NATO cartridge. Both these main types are available in further variants such as sniper or CQC (Close Quarters Combat).

@shammons556 i wonder why they cancled it but now i see why thank you

[shammons556]

@50TNCSA

The only reason it was cancled was because SOCOM requested a 5.56mm conversion for the SCAR-H to reduce the need for so many cage numbers when ordering parts. This way both cartridges can be used with one common reciever instead of having two seperate weapon systems. The SCAR-L units that the DOD have already purchased will remain in sercrvice, but any future 5.56mm purchases will be in the form of a SCAR-H with the 5.56mm conversion.
