Description
The FNSCAR (Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle) is a family of gas-operated short-stroke gas piston automatic rifles developed by Belgian manufacturer FN Herstal in 2004. It is constructed with modularity for the United States Special Operations Command to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. [Source] The SCAR-H is the variant of that family chambered in 7.62x51mm, a higher caliber which makes the SCAR-H more of a combat rifle than an assault rifle.
In the game, this high caliber is reflected in the rifle's statistic: it is powerful, but slow firing and suffers from significant recoil. The damage of the SCAR-H is best in class, and means it is capable of killing most opponents in just 3 bullets. While as an automatic rifle, it still offers a fair amount of versatility, the SCAR-H is less suited than most other AR's to close quarters combat, due to its low fire rate and heavy movement speed penalty. It is, however, excellent at medium ranges, at which the recoil will remain controllable, and the powerful rounds will be sure to devastate enemy players, dealing their full damage up to 100m.
It is very similar to the AK-15, offering marginally higher damage and faster ADS speed, at the cost of an 8% slower fire rate, and an ever so slightly longer reload.
