History
============
The SCAR rifle series comes, like the HK416 and XM8, from late-90s-to-mid 2000s US DoD RFPs for improved small-arms -
416 from Delta Force, XM8 through grandfathering out of the Future Warrior OICW program, the SCAR from SOCOM itself in 2004.
The solicitation in this case was for a family of weapons for Special Operations Force use, thus being it’s namesake on adoption as the
Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifles with high parts and ergonomic commonality.

FN focused the design on the two main infantry rifle calibers of the US Armed Forces - 5.56mm NATO and 7.62mm NATO, solidifying the system into two primary forms -
the SCAR Light (SCAR-L, 5.56mm) and the SCAR Heavy (SCAR-H, 7.62mm).
By 2007 the SCARs were ready for limited testing and by 2009 field trials with the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment.

Ultimately the SCARs were accepted into service- the SCAR-H as the Mk. 17 Mod. 0 and the SCAR-L as the Mk.16 Mod.0. The Mk17 found roaring trade,
filling a niche in the hills of Afghanistan that previously was unfilled: a full scale infantry rifle with the range and precision for long range DMR-distance engagements,
but wieldy enough to still take into close-quarters. The Mk16 on the other hand was not long for service - it’s nature being essentially a duplicate in operational remit as the M4A1s and Mk18s already in service, combined with different handling characteristics, meant that it stayed “at home” more than it saw use, and ultimately the 16s were shelved in 2010 in favour of further development of the Block 2 SOPMOD M4.

The US wasn’t the only country taking interest in the SCARs, and before long, the commercial version of the rifle was being seen in a variety of roles in a spread of military and LE groups.
One of the early identified role expansions that the SCAR-H could be made into was a dedicated DMR system, and in around 2011 FN began selling a version of the SCAR-H with a “Sniper” label, seen here.
Along with the longer barrel, it came with a forward “rhino” rail extension for use with longer sight base Night vision systems. This iteration of the SCAR actually found some reasonable purchase with the
Australian SASR as an alternative to the SR25, amongst known users.

The rifles were not the only element included with the SCAR program -FN also developed a version of their FN40GL to be intrinsic to the platform- the EGLM.
Things it did over the then-standard M203 were numerous- capacity for higher pressure and longer length rounds and full ambidextrous handling amongst them.
The ambidexterity turned out to be somewhat of an Achilles heel to the system- leading to it being felt to be flimsy and fragile.
While it saw official adoption as the Mk13 EGLM, with the rollout of the M320, the fragility and finicky nature of the launcher meant that within the Rangers the EGLM soon became an informal option of last resort.
