for those who still does not know - the US SOCOM awarded the FNH USA the contract for a new SOCOM modular rifle system, called SCAR.

here i compiled all information i was able to find to date: FN SCAR assault rifle

andd, by the way - HAPPY NEW YEAR, friends! :)
 
when i first saw it i thought, hey LOOK its a beefed up FNC. i like the full length weaver rail on it that the XM8 lacks. i dont see the need for carry handles anymore. i really hope they make em in the US of A and mabey make a few thousand civ versions :evil: ..............oh and


"Current prototypes of SCAR rifles do not have bayonet mounts, and, probably, will never have one. "


i thought it was a "grenade launcher" :what: how could a military assault rifle be without a grenade launcher :neener:
 
Looks cool but kinda fishy. I'd love one in .308

One correction: I've seen at least two FN references to the use of a short stroke gas system in the SCAR, as opposed to the FNC's long stroke system.
 
One thing's for certain...

If it has a Coelacanth (Latimeria Chalumnae) tail and fins, it'll probably be around for a very long time. :D
