SCAR Mk. 17

     Second in line is my review of the SCAR Mk. 17. Just to clarify, Mk. is pronounced "Mark" and not "M-K".
Caliber: 7.62x51mm
Capacity: 20+1 rounds
MAG Type: Box Magazine
Action: Semi-Fully Automatic (Long Stroke Gas Operated)
Rate of Fire: 600 RPM
Sights: Iron Sights/20mm Pitcanny rail
Type: Assault Rifle
Manufacturer: FN Herstal

    Currently; Bushmaster, HK, and FN Herstal are all in competition to win over the United States Military for the production rights to their main assault rifle. Many branches and special forces teams have already selected the SCAR H as their main weapon. It's light for an assault rifle, weighing an astonishing 3.86 kg. It also features multiple barrel lengths for any skirmish; varying from 330mm (CQB), to 406mm (Std.), and even 508mm (LB) barrels. It features 4 separate 20mm Pitcanny rails, including 1 on top, 2 on the sides, and 1 on the handguard. This makes the weapon very versatile in combat situations; seeing as you can mount anything from the Mk. 13 Grenade Launcher, to an ACOG 4x scope. The operation of the SCAR H is much like an M16, featuring a similar slide release, selector switch, and overall design. There are, however, many differences between the M16 family and the SCAR family.

     Time for my say.

Overall:      ****

    The SCAR Mk. 17 has great range, with it great accuracy. It has a massive recoil, due to the large round and the weight of the weapon. It holds 20 rounds, so you can't complain, except for having to reload often. It's great on mobility, but can't be easily concealed. The weight is great, and I give it an overall 4 stars.
