It is my understanding that AFSOC has decided to buy the SCAR. In the internet data they are shown to have only purchased the 7.62 H model but I understand they have also bought the L model as well, for their special ops folks.
I have handled the H and L versions of the SCAR and they are interesting. But the amazing thing about the SCAR is its apparent ability to out shoot the M-4 in a real fast acquisition contest, as many as three shots to one on a carry and shoot, shoot out. For what ever reason they are very fast on target. I have had two spl ops folks tell me that is a very real characteristic of the SCAR.
The Spl Ops folks are in many move and shoot fast situations, so the SCAR makes sense.
