Waffle Stomper Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Nice contribution to a thread if I was an anal person I'd neg rep you, but I'm not anal so wont. See pointless posts are a big waste of time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was an honest question from a newbie. I read in a magazine about an airsoft convention in the States, and it included a picture of the SCAR labelled "the convention saw the long-awaited SCAR". I also noticed it's above-average price, so I was left wondering. This, being a thread about this particular gun, in an airsoft forum, seemed to me like an appropriate place to ask my question.

Habakure Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Should I get my hand bag ready. I thought he meant all AEG's are ugly that must be my untrained eye as well. Edit:- Or it could be I felt defensive over my latest purchase? Only human. Link to post Share on other sites
vgdailynews01 Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 I'm really surprised no one in Arnie's has written up a new review of the SCAR yet. AEX's review is certainly comprehensive, but it's good to get a second, detailed opinion. What´s so special about it? To my untrained eyes it looks like a regular, ugly AEG... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> First off, it's the SCAR - the newest toy that U.S. Special Forces will be getting (that actually makes it to full-scale production). That alone gives it a bit of allure to Airsofters wanting to emulate the bleeding edge of modern militaries. Second, it's a new player in the market. Many people use and own AR variants, and those wanting another type of AEG that's not their AR will find the SCAR-L and SCAR-H appealing. (I would imagine having another rifle that can accept AR mags is also a factor. It is for me – I’m planning to delegate my trusty upgraded M4A1 to a backup primary role once I buy a black SCAR-L. Having a rifle use similar AR magazines and a similar 9.6v mini battery that looks significantly different than an M4A1 is a big plus for me.) Third, from what I've gathered, it's a seemingly good external replica for the price, given the amount of high-quality plastic and metal used to make it. Those who have modded TMs and CAs to make them more like their real-steel cousins can attest to the economic cost. Having a near-perfect replica straight from the Styrofoam makes it, in the minds of some, gives the SCAR a special “practical” value. Finally, the internals seem to be more reliable and efficient than previous CA gearboxes. What used to take a 9.6v mini to operate a motor firing .20g 6mm bbs at 330 fps now uses only an 8.4v. There have been at least two reports of broken tappet plates on Arnies, though I don't know if that's because they are lemons or indicative of lacking quality control. With those four reasons, I understand why some are calling the SCAR the next AR-15 of the market. First, it was the MP-5, then it was the M-16, now, it’s the SCAR. Link to post Share on other sites

79TransAm Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have had mine for about a week now. I have played with it for about 4 hours and put 500 rounds through it or so. The gun shoots awesome, the hop up is great, and the gun is really quite. I am very pleased Link to post Share on other sites
