The SCAR-H is arguably one of the most effective assault rifles at long range as it has good accuracy, precise iron sights, high damage, and only vertical recoil which is easy to control. In hardcore, the SCAR-H is a one shot kill at any range, unless shooting through cover. This means that the SCAR-H will run out of ammo very quickly. However, it only comes with 60 total rounds. It is also decent at close range fighting. Stopping Power is useful with this weapon in core – though the rifle doesn’t depend on it to be effective due to its relatively high damage, but can be useful to rack up more kills without reloading as many times, or if Scavenger is not unlocked. It has the least amount of ammo of all automatic assault rifles due to its small magazine size (making this weapon a good choice for unlocking the “Surgical” title), and it also has a fairly long reload time. Unlocked at Level 8 in multiplayer, the high damage and moderate recoil of the SCAR-H makes it popular among players, despite its small magazine capacity and relatively low rate of fire. The key idea of SCAR rifle system was to provide special forces operators with a wide variety of options, from a short-barreled 5.56x45mm CQC variation tailored for urban close combat, to a long range 7.62x51mm SCAR-H Sniper variant, as well as a 7.62x39mm SCAR-H, which could accept “battlefield pickup” AK47 magazines with 7.62x39mm M43 ammunition, available during operations behind enemy lines. All Rangers are supposed to be equipped with a SCAR-H or SCAR-L by late 2010.
Special Operations Forces such as the Army Rangers, Delta Force, and Navy SEALs are field testing the weapon in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has competed with the XM8 and the HK416 for general adoption by the US Army, though none of the rifles were selected to replace the M4. The SCAR-H is the battle rifle version, firing the more powerful 7.62x51mm round, making it one of the first original battle rifles since the 1950s.
It was designed at the request of SOCOM for a multi-caliber special-forces rifle capable of marksman and CQB conversions. The L-variant of this weapon, which fires 5.56x45mm NATO rounds, was first issued to US forces in April of 2009, with a battalion of the US 75th Ranger Regiment being the first large unit deployed with the FN SCAR. The FN SCAR-H is a modular, modern battle rifle made by FN Herstal or FN for short. The FN SCAR-L (top) and FN SCAR-H (bottom)
