| | SMALL PACKAGES, BIG BANG: Personal Defense Weapons |
 | | The SCAMP was designed to provide pilots, aircraft crews, armored vehicle personnel, and support/rear-line combat troops with a compact, lightweight, ergonomic, and controllable select-fire high-capacity weapons package that would allow them to either escape and evade enemy soldiers armed with assault rifles, or hold these enemy forces off until reinforcements or air support/air evac arrived. |
 | | Remember, the SCAMP was essentially a large machine pistol, yet it still had to allow the operator to hit what he was aiming at, even on the full-auto setting, at distance. |
 | | With the 5.56mm weapons, in addition to the standard green tip 62 grain NATO M855/SS109 FMJ ball round (with compound steel penetrator/lead core), an operator has the option of transitioning to the fl-tip M995 62gr FMJBT AP (Armor-Piercing) round, which employs a tungsten carbide penetrator core. |
