    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    Well if you go throughout that list of failures provided by Horus. One should not miss this point: "SCAR passed these number of rounds without any jam and hence cooked off 2 times" and than again once or twice.. cook off means exactly - uncontrolled explosion of rifle or at least uncontrolled...

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    Sure they are very well funded. But my point was that it was these guys who told me about unavailability of 5.7 ammo in Pakistan due to FN refusing to sell this ammo.

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    Well I am just saying what your operators told me. Maybe they are wrong but one can ask question why would someone speak about this if it is not true? There is no point in such a story. But some problems SF operators are facing in real life do not leak easily. That is maybe why you don't know...

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    I dont think FN would sell you ammo for 5.7. I spoke with some of your special forces year or two ago. And I remember they were coplaining about this. They had P 90 in the inventory but FN refused to sell ammo to Pakistan. Maybe they have changed their policy now but anyway how you can trust FN...

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    I thought you will react like this :) ARX has beaten SCAR badly in Argentina so far.. CZ in service in Mexico, they are using it quite a lot and as far as I know some of those warriors they do not complain. And GIGN guys test their weapons properly. KSA is not ordering SCAR any more so is the...

    I made small research on FN SCAR performance in past years: 1) France army trials - failed 2) New Zealand army assault rifle - failed 3) UK DMR - failed 4) Czech Republic assault rifle - failed 5) US Soccom - shelved, pulled of the already equipped units 6) Australia DMR - failed 7) New Zealand...

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    I had it my hand last year in US..and trust me you dont want this. Heavy as hell - somwhere around 3,8kg and it does not have slide stop. Result: same characteristics as old AK with less reliability and much higher price. And with 7,62x51 I have experience- yes.

    No they didn´t, customer care is unknown to FN. It is sipmle bussiness, they will not do anything to this rifle it is dead project. I wonder why you are so loving it, even US have shelved it back to stores. Nobody is buying it for years..

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    We had few FN SCAR 7,62x51 in our inventory and we did lot of training with Peruian Army which has a larger number of these weapons. As our Peruian coleagues had more experience they have same experience: weapon is dangerous in hot areas as it can fire chambered bullet itself. And than there...

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    FN SCAR has serious issues in hot enviroment and FN did nothing to improve it. if your tests are tough as you say you would find this out. So if your army has selected this flawed weapon than something definitely smells there

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    No not really, for example in Peru there had been cook offs with in service 7,62x51. Quite dangerous, what I´ve heard, the operators are very disappointed.

    Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

    I cannot agree that SCAR has performed better in most trials. Quite opposite can be truth there are reports of SCAR having serious problems which are not being solved. Just check the Wikipedia : wiki/FN_SCAR especcially the controversy chapter at the end.
