>SCAR IIBoring!!!
>>65202224>its just a scar with an AR15 charging handle Why did they hype this up so much?
Will it take hicar rounds?
LMFAO THE STOCK ISN’T FOLDINGTHIS IS JUST A WORSE HK416 WITH PROPRIETARY PARTS
>>65202224Literally looks like someone jury-rigged a SCAR upper on an AR-15 lower. looks pretty ugly overall
>OP 'I want it'#notme
>you are going to buy me on day 1, right anon?
>>65202224Why does every new gun has to come in poop brown? I'm pretty sure no one outside of the US and Israel wants to fight in the middle east anymore...
>>65202254>AI slop to match a rifle that feels like it was designed by AI inputLike pottery
FN ARKA, SiG Spear LT, or Beretta NARP?
>>65202224what does this do better then the SCAR gen II that they just announced?>>65202284you ever held a black gun in the blazing sun? it also blends in better.
>>65202224fnarka is a stupid name
>>65202307>what does this do better then the SCAR gen II that they just announced?Muh AR ergos, muh AR accessoriesI can't decide if this thing is meant to be a "budget" SCAR meant for people who want a piston gun while still using all the AR parts they already own but wouldn't just buy a JAKL, or trying to butt in on the whale market that enables the HK416. Its probably better than the 416 at least since the piston isn't gonna self destruct the upper overtime.>>65202284To be fair, FN was making poop brown guns before it was cool. After the SCAR it sorta became their aesthetic.
Looks like shit
>>65202254so fucking sovlless
>>65202299narp simply because narp is more fun to say
>>65202224>AR charging handle
>>65202562Not A Real Porkey
>>65202224>remake the SCAR with all the worst parts of the ARI'm convinced ARfags have some kind of battered wife/ Stockholm syndrome where they can't accept a better charging handle or stock. Otherwise I'm just befuddled as to why anyone would willingly pick a T charger
>>65202581because it's not as bad as you make it out to be and if it's ambidextrous you can charge the gun from other side without swapping anything. the gun is also better sealed
>>65202581They literally just want to be cheap faggots and rely on off the shelf components. FN made M4s for the army for over 20 years. Everyone makes some kind of AR or AR part, this is no different from them opting for AR grips.>>65202613Its not bad if you're using an actual AR. But to make space for it on a different rifle you're making the gun taller than it needs to, you're forcing it to have a step between the stock and receiver, and you're making it so you have nothing to function as a dust cover.
>>65202581>stockBuffer tube stocks absorb recoil better than non-buffer tube stocks. Folding stocks are overrated; sure, it's great when storing the rifle, but you'll never have the stock folded when you want to use the rifle.>charging handleIt has been proven to let less dust and debris into the system when charging the gun, has less chance of snagging on something, and is smaller than side-charging handles, so it allows the receiver to be tougher, assuming they both have the same outer dimensions.
>>65202251Except it's not compatible with AR lowers and AR lower parts at all, so like..wtf
>>65202224Given that the development of this thing is supposedly intertwined with the British rifle replacement, I have to assume that some bong associated with the project was completely fixated on Geiselle handguards, and would insist they add one at every opportunity, so FN made the new receivers look like one just to shut him up; knowing that his autistic fixation could make or break their rifle getting selected.
>>65202299I like the NARP, based solely on aesthetics. I like the skeleton stocks on the MCX. Maybe the real answer is Picrel.
>>65202224>another AR-18 gay
>>65202904That was always the real answer, people just hate the real answer.
>>65202961Try convincing the hypebeasts the answer was there all along. Picrel would be my order.
>>65202581It worked for SIG. I'm surprised it doesn't have two charging handles>>65202904>>65203001Today, I will remind them.https://www.xcrforum.com/threads/attention-serfs.9198/
>>65203001I have one with an exposed gas adjuster, longer barrel and it's hands-down the best rifle I own. The internals would serve as an infinitely better platform to build upon compared to whatever sigger shit they're still pretending to adopt. Maybe an AR-style charging handle just because that's what the market demands, but not much else would have to be done to it. It already has AR ergos.
>>65203028>digging up a forum post from 15 years agoUnfathomably based.
>>65203028Damn I’m gonna have to lurk there. >>65203032It’s also one of the few rifles that actually delivered on interchangeability. They seem very squared away.
>8.6 lb empty with a 14.5 in barrel>fucking 8.2 lb empty with a 11.25 in barrel
>>65202224I, too, just saw the ad on Instagram! Ha ha ha wow!
>>65203219They're SIGmaxxing.
looks like the beginner rifle in a nexon f2p shooter.
>>65202904but thats an XCR. the narp just looks like a normal AR.
>>65203296Yeah which is why I’d pick that over the other two.
mysterious…..https://youtu.be/I0asSfedmyk?si=KSI3FLY1REaafjEo
>>65202224Why is FN copying Robinson Armament's homework for?
>>65202444they want to sell an upscale host for FRTs for yuppie scum, and other boomer adjacents. the kind that think everything "european" is made in yurop.
>>65203219>Europeans try not to overengineer everything including a 9 pound rifle challenge impossibleits like their in their DNA to make it too heavy too complicated and require more maintenance to satisfy some autistic urge
>>65202299Beretta and it’s not even close
>>65202224The upper receiver is like 25% too tall and cosmetic lines look like shit. The design looks like the opposite of optimized
>>65203465Check the Sako AR15. Neato design but for whatever reason they added an hbar barely to it. Yuros legit don't know what the fuck they are doing and once they had their hands on a normal AR15 they thought "man this is great, it's so light, let's make up the weight by making the barrel as heavy as possible!" I know there are benefits to a heavy profile barrel, but you could accomplish the same thing with a modern taper profile barrel. Yuros legit are just retarded and barely know what they are doing
>>65202224Is funny FN looked at the overweight shitty GROT A2 a said how can we copy that with a AR charging handle. Why are companies still using screws for mounting the trunnion for the barrel extension for the barrel to mate with a aluminum receiver its retarded. Unironically PSA JAKL tier dogshit
>>65203552how should they mount it then. Rivets? ACME threads? Drift pin? Bayonet socket? what do you think is ideal
pretty gay tbqh
>>65203561have the aluminum receiver clamp the actual barrel extension... like LMT, barret or desertech. Every low lost light weight AR handguard is a clamp on barrel nut design
>>65203561they should machine the barrel, receiver, and forend out of a solid block of steel. truly monolithic. what are you, poor?
>>65203561cut a small slit in the upper below the barrel and use 1 or 2 steel threaded bolts to clamp the aluminum to the barrel extension and stop forward movement.
>>65202224Ghastly full length aluminum top rail rise - I guess someone didn't want to swap from their old mount offsets. Pic related how things should be done, which is to say absolutely minimized. There is no recoil spring in there on OP's its in the stock FYI.
>>65203552I refuse to buy a screw build gun. Sorry just not gonna do it!
>>65203865Why does it look so uncanny?
>>65202224>arkaHÄHÄHÄHÄHÄHÄHÄÄ!!!!
>>65203465>>65203551The Narp is fine and that's yuro, same with the ARX160 despite its ungainly appearance. The CZ Brens aren't the lightest rifles around but they still come in under 8 lbs and they're pretty robust rifles. If bullpups can be included the VHS is under 8 lbs and so is the AUG (though the latter only barely so in the base config).
>>65203001No bias here but OD green is the way to go. Wicked fun little rifle, ergos are very comfortable and feels great to shoot suppressed. I doubt I'll ever use the caliber conversion features but hey it does make changing the barrel a breeze.I'm going to get a chunkier stock at some point though.
>>65202299
>>65203551The heavy barrel is because of the obsession with marksmanship in the Finnish army
>>65202224It looks like an inbred child of AR and SCAR platforms
>>65204536Sako or finnish gov is probably too european to just buy and test a couple barrels like the geissele taper barrel or criterion core. Id bet all the money in the world they are more accurate and lighter
>>65204513Yeah I’ve always wanted an OD rifle, I have two halfsies.
>>65204513>>65205961These look more like Ranger green than OD
>>65205961Very nice, and that's a great color combo too anyhow>>65206367Oh yeah now that you mention it maybe? I'm just going off what my invoice said.
>>65203465>its like their in their DNA to make it too heavyI swear to fucking God.First AR I bought was an Oberland Arms A4gery and the barrel must have accounted for half the gun's weight.Bought the HK243 later and I shit you not they put a bull barrel on it for some unfathomable reason.Every Euro AR built deliberately boasts shit like "Lothar Walther stainless match heavy barrel" like come ON nigger I just want a standard chrome lined barrel or at worst something like a S2W, I'm not shooting benchrest with a 11" carbine for fuck's sake.
I'm gonna be honest. I don't quite like this. I get it's leaving room for the piston and all that. It's just weird looking.
>>65206367They are both ODG, the 14.5 C4 rail came Cerakoted from Centurion and the Vltor stock was Cerakoted OD, and the Pmags were too. The Beowulf has a Magpul OD stock, grip and rail covers. My carrier is RG. >>65206556Thanks dude
>>65202224Asian edition
me going back in time to kill eugene stoner
