FN SCAR gets a PDW model

[Vitor]

I'm thinking more about the consequences of having significantly increased muzzle blast and flash.

If a cartridge is designed to perform well from a short barrel, it means its powder burns rather fast and muzzle blast is reduced.

The 7.62 BLK has a 35mm case, there cant be much enough powder inside it to give it a muzzle blast any bigger than the 45mm case of the 5.56mm.

It shoots amazing soft and very controllable in full-auto in 5.56mm.

What's the grey bar behind the ejection port?

It's on both sides of the receiver. It's for the MP5 style collapsible type stock that I didn't get to use.

I shot a 238 of 250 possible that day on the qualification course using Lake City M855. The agents were using the SCAR 17 .308 with Rem 168gr MATCH. I had the 2nd highest score. They agent who beat me was using a SCAR 17 with Rem 168gr MATCH and an ACOG (all the other agents had Aimpoint M4s'). I had an Aimpoint T1 in a tall LaRue mount.

My only complaint with this would be the atrocious ballistics of a 5.56x45 in a barrel that short, switch to a more SBR friendly round (like the 6.8 SPC) and I think it's an obvious winner.

Hell, even offering a 9mm variant could be really interesting, it'd be like an MP5 that would share parts and manual of arms with the SCAR rifles.

I've got to do and see a lot of "Kool" things in my travels, but never got to shoot new weapons. I really want to hang out with guys. Yal are always shooting badass weapons. I'm jealous as hell.

Where are the 18", 14", and 10" barrels for my SCAR?

Doesn't look as bad with that SCAR stock.

How many shots per burst did you do? 3 or 5?

Would you think that a suppressor is mandatory for this type of gun?

How was the blast?

I has so many questionz.

A suppressor is a good thing to have, but you can get by without it.

The SCAR-PDW is a smoother shooting weapon vs. an AKSU-74 "Krink", and the HK G36C is fairly close in recoil management.

All of the above are very blasty.
