Umm...  That was the military that stated that as the reason it was dropped like a hot rock.
I don't care for them because of the goofy ass recoil impulse, and the unnecessarily huge and long operating rod.
What's the point of using an AR-18 BCG If you're going to use an op rod like that?  
Why not use the lighter version of what they copied the G36?

LOL yea... They didn't put a lot of effort into changing things, besides adding a TON of mass.



The ACR is similar




And of course, it all stems from the AR-18.







One major differance being the AR-18 uses dual guide rods that pin into the front trunion to locate the BCG in the receiver vs rails.

I don't see the SCAR ever getting to the same point, especially if the current atmosphere is "It's perfect like it is".


Especially if people continue claiming incompatible accessories are a design fault of the weapon itself.

Cool, but neither of those bolt guns have recoil impulses the same as a SCAR (or an AR for that matter)... So why do you expect them to behave identically on two different systems if you've already identified the causation for this issue?

As I told Madcap, I don't view this as a problem with the SCAR. I view this as a problem with putting those optics on the SCAR, and certainly a problem for those stuck with no other option.

Given ancillary equipment tailored to or compatible with the SCAR's recoil impulse this issue would cease to be any matter of concern.

Interesting here, they used a triangle bolt like and AK for simple machining.






The T-25 is now back for the low low price of $800 that give you a lot of the functionality of a SCAR at a fraction of the broken optics.

Wanna hate on slide fires? Man up and hit that thread instead of swimming around the edges like a punk.
ETA - Also the great thing about no being a weak bitch is not worrying about the weight of a pound or two.  (Or in the case of the MPAR vs scar a half pound, but fuck math)
Then again, my AR-180 weighs something like a half pound less than the SCAR...  So you're right, if FN wanted to make a lighter rifle, stamped steel may have been the way to go.
Or get rid of the half pound of metal they added to the G-36 bolt they use
Do you have a real argument at all or are you just making noise?

A heavier mass is harder to stop or slow down than a lighter one, but your excellent refuting statement obviously proves otherwise. Thank you for providing us with such solid concrete data.

I know, that's why SCAR's have that weird janky recoil compared to similar rifles, and the SCAR-17 eats optics.





The AR-18 has no problem feeding with a BCG that weighs a fraction of the SCAR, it's also got  a great recoil impulse, and shoots very smooth.





Bigger is not always better.  The g36 didn't need all that extra mass, it cycles fine.  Same with AR's, and like... all sorts of other guns.

Possibly, though there are probably more factors that play into it along with potential for different problems to surface - "break in period" on some handguns and other extraction issues with stiff springs being the first that come to mind. An interesting question to that effect would be: why don't AR's always use the strongest recoil spring possible?

You raise an excellent point however, none of us participating here are firearms designers or engineers. Obviously those types of people at FN had a reason for designing the SCAR the way they did. It's been proven to be an extremely reliable and capable system by the military's own testing.

The real problem has always been that it's a different gun. It's apparent the detractors all expect it to feel, shoot and operate the same as an AR, but it's not... and it doesn't.

The slide fire does not fit on my SCAR, and I'm not putting one on my ARs, so I have no use for one.

Because Madcap knows nothing about the SCAR but everything about the slidefire.  So it seems relevant for me to bring up the slidefire which I have zero experience with.

I've shot them a lot.  



Hell, I was shooting one of the first -16's to hit the civilian market.





I'm also apparently one of the few people that knew the origin of the SCAR's g36 BCG copy.





So, you're wrong.  I know quite a bit about them.  





What do you know?  How many have you shot?

So, what you're saying is, you'll talk shit in threads, because you don't know anything about them, and have no interest in them.

Sounds legit.

So let me get this straight...

The SCAR is not worth the same price as a similarly optioned AR because it does not accept the Slide Fire.

How many have I shot?  I don't know, other than my own SCAR, I have shot about 10 other SCARS.  They shot the same as mine.

No, you do not have it right. No one in any regard mentioned bump fire stocks until you did.

So you knew it's just a G-36 with worse recoil?

Ok, so now we are back to the SCAR being worth WAY more than a similar optioned AR, yet selling for the same price.

How man G-36's have you shot?  Can the slide fire fit on to one of them?

Your clumsy attempt at thread derailment is laughable.





AR's have more value, SCAR's are just more expensive.

One.  No seed since it was FA anyways.



ETA- also got to handle a few XM-8's.

Value is always subjective. I would buy a SCAR 17 for ~$1200. I don't hate them.
