	Scar
		Scar tissue is not identical to the tissue which it replaces and is usually of inferior functional quality.
		For example, scars in the skin are less resistant to ultraviolet radiation, and sweat glands and hair follicles do not grow back within scar tissue, myocardial infarction causes scar formation in the heart muscle which leads to loss of muscular power and possibly heart failure.
		Most skin scars are of the flat and pale variety, which leave a trace of the original injury which caused them.

		This article discusses the FN SCAR, a family of assault rifles.

	FNH SCAR
		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.
		It is still unclear if the SCAR system will have quick detachable barrels for various configurations and lengths (from short-barreled CQC to long-barreled SV), or the barrels will be swapped along with entire upper receiver.
		SCAR rifles apparently will be fitted with removable, adjustable iron sights, with folding diopter-type rear sight on the receiver rail, and folding front sight on the gas block.

		First off, for the SCAR heavy, I cannot see anyone wanting to carry that instead of the M14, which with the EBR modifications, is nearly perfect in my eyes.
		The SCAR looks like a uppgraded FN FNC, I liked the FN FNC, its a very good and reliable weapon, the only drawback is the weight, witch probably because of the gas rod above the barrel.
		The 5.56 SCAR will also take 6.8 (thank God it is not a requirement for the Army) and the 7.62X39 mags and bbl assemblies.

		The SCAR effort emerged in early 2003, when U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) representatives began to conduct "sources sought" investigations for a new combat assault rifle capability.
		Both light and heavy SCAR models are capable of either single shot or full automatic fire and feature barrel modularity that allows each model to be configured in three different variants: standard (S), close quarters combat (CQC) and sniper variant (SV).

		The standart low-maginfication combat scope may be replaced by any other scope on WEAVER-style mount, or with FN's proprietary computerized fire control module with laser rangefinder, that calculates the point of aim (and sets the sight reticle) for both the rifle and 40mm grenade launcher.

		FN is well established but it would be nice to see us issued weapons from a US company.
		The mags are not compatible with AK mags (last I heard anyway), and the commercial 7.62 commie is not in the same league as the M43 round.
		Word on the street was SOCOM still has some interest in the FN weapon, which is big step up in modularity from the AR15 but also heavier.

		The SCAR...utilizes an updated/upgraded FN FNC upper receiver...The FN FNC assault rifle and its Swedish cousin, the AK-5/CGA5 assault rifle (manufactured under license by Saab Bofors), represent a proven system that's known to be reliable under adverse conditions, from jungle, to desert, to arctic environments.
		Although The SCAR has almost nothing in common with the FNC except looks the model you are making is the first prototype(Do you have the big photo of it the 3162x1272 picture?) the reviewed one has a polymor lower and is painted in SOCOM flat earth, the picture you presented.
		I am prity sure the SCAR is not in the field yet(havn't heard that enyway) the HK416 and POF416 is and soon there are tree LW's are going to a group in the 5 SFG.

		Down at the user level, I don't hear many guys who are not satisfied with the M4/SPR/SR-25 combo, though a lot of team guys are interested in getting their hands on the SCAR to see how it runs and such.
		My guess is that for every quirk or shortcoming of the M4 they fixed, they'll build a new one into the SCAR that irritates 10% of the users, etc, even if it is generally a great weapon.
		Seems like the rumor is that civilian SCAR won't have the quick change barrel option (from another recent thread here on THR or over on TFL).
