Weapon Information/Bio:
"The US Special Operations Command(US SOCOM) issued a solicitation for
the procurement of SOF CombatAssault Rifles (SCAR)on October 15th, 2003.
This solicitation requested a new combat rifle,specially tailored for
the current and proposed future needs of the US Special Forces,which are
somewhat different from latest generic US Army requirements,which are
being fulfilled by the newest Heckler-KochXM8 assault rifle. The key
difference in basic requirements between XM8 and SCAR is that, while XM8
is a single-caliber weapon system, tailored for 5.56x45mm NATO
ammunition, the SCAR should be available in various different
calibers.Initial SOF requirements included two basic versions of SCAR
system - the SCAR Light (SCAR-L), available in 5.56mm NATO, and the SCAR
Heavy (SCAR-H), which should be initially available in significantly
more powerful 7.62x51 NATO chambering, and should be easily adaptable in
the field to other chamberings. These other chamberings initially
include the well-spread 7.62x39 M43 ammunition of the Soviet / Russian
origins, and probably some others (like the proposed 6.8x43 Remington
SPC cartridge, especially developed for US Special Forces).The keyidea
of SCAR rifle system is that it will provide the Special Forces
operators with wide variety of options, from short-barreled 5.56mm
SCAR-L CQC variation,tailored for urban close combat, and up to long
range 7.62x51 SCAR-HSnipervariant, as well as 7.62x39 SCAR-H, which will
accept "battlefield pickup" AK-47/AKM magazines with 7.62 M43
ammunition, available during the operations behind the enemy lines. Both
SCAR-L and SCAR-H shall be initially available in three versions,
Standard(S), Close Quarters Combat (CQC) and Sniper Variant(SV; now it
is dubbed Long Barrel - LB). All these variants, regardless the caliber
and exact configuration, will provide the operator with the same
controls layout, same handling and maintenance procedures, and same
optional equipment, such as sights,scopes, and other current and future
attachments.
Late in 2004 USSOCOM announced, that the winner for the initial SCAR
contracts is the FN USA, an US-based subsidiary of the famous Belgian
company Fabrique Nationale Herstal. prototype rifles were manufactured
by FN Manufacturing Inc, US-based subsidiary to FN Herstal; This company
will also handle series production of rifles. Starting mid-2005, first
SCAR rifles went to end users in US Special Operation Forces. Since
USSOCOM uses Navy-type "mark" designations, SCAR rifles were officially
designated as 5.56mm Rifle Mark 16 (SCAR-L / Light) and 7.62mm Rifle
Mark 17 (SCAR-H/ Heavy).It is believed that Mk.16 and Mk.17 rifles will
gradually replace most rifle systems now in service with US SOCOM
forces, such as M4 carbines, M16 rifles, M14 rifles and Mk. 25 sniper
rifles.
As it turned out, FNSCAR rifles are not based on any previous weapons
but designed from the scratch. In all variants FN SCAR rifles feature
gas operated, short stroke piston action with rotating bolt locking.
Bolt system appears to be somewhat similar to that of FNMinimi / M249
SAW machine gun. This system apparently is less sensitive to fine sand,
dust and any other fouling inside the receiver, than any system with
M16-type multi-lug bolt and plunger-type ejector. "
