Pay particular attention to member "EmbraceTheHate" in his scathing commentary regarding the SCAR:
Apparently, his SCAR experience is a LOT different than what's been reported by a number of other credible sources. I'm guessing he's feeling a bit threatened by the eminent sunset of the M4.Originally posted by EmbraceTheHate:
I wouldn't get my hopes up too high. Since they can't get the Govt. Contract ones running properly and fielded, I doubt the civilian version will be available any time soon.
And as one already noted.....what does it offer over any other 5.56 rifle? Nothing. Input from the SOF community? Yeah, REMF's who need to justify them collecting a paycheck every two weeks.
It will replace existing 5.56mm weapons with..................(drum roll please).....a 5.56mm weapon. Yippee!!! Does a lot for increased battlefield lethality.
The SCAR-H will replace existing 7.62mm weapons with.................(drum roll please).....a 7.62mm weapon. Pardon my lack of enthusiasm, but these things they say they offer, are already offered.
Another case of the wrong people, given the wrong jobs, and making the wrong decisions. Bean counters and desk jockey's have no business in deciding the warriors weapons.
