Ok I'm sure this isn't the first time you've heard it... The SCAR's buttstock looks like a moon boot. Well, a while back someone had the bright idea of placing the appropriate footwear on the little foot.












And thus an internet legend was born. Being that I participate infrequently on such boards as 4chan (if you don't know, don't ask) I thought I might continue the meme...












Which then lead to...












Along the way, it was noted that the SCAR's stock is really quite happy.













Finally some other posters started chipping in...
















..And demanded pictures of the shoe on while the SCAR was being fired. Of course I always deliver.

What's the deal with the technicolor paint scheme on this one?  Do they ship looking like that?  And what kind of optic is that?

Optic is an Elcan Specter DR, and FN isn't particularly known for their color matching.

Although it does vary a lot based based on the lighting.. here is the same gun at dusk:

WOW those colors match well! The boot almost hits all the colors on the rifle

It's like a rainbow of earth tone colors rifle!

All this Time I just though it was stupid, but now I realize the boot shape is a feature. It allows footwear to be used as a recoil pad. What a capital idea.

Does a gun have to be used by the military to be good or something? I could have swore my USPc 9mm was a better gun than the M9 but what do I know. The military uses it so it's automatically the best, right? Just like ACU!



Granted the SCAR went through some rigorous testing and is a great rifle that stands on it's own merits, but your statement is still silly especially when you're comparing it to a gun specifically made for a testing and evaluation program that happened before the ACR was conceived.

Some people don't like shit unless it's stamped "Milspec".




There are plenty of good quality firearms out there that the military hasn't adopted.

Actually the SEALs were/are using the USPc for a while, they just purchased a bunch of H&K45c w/ threaded barrels.
