The Scar-L also has a higher standard magazine capacity at 30 rounds unlike the Scar-H wich has 20. Due to the lighter bullet, more ammunition can be carried/ same amount with less weight when compared to the Scar-H. And I didn't say silencer, I said suppressor as in to suppress the muzzle flash. Raven's also got a point too, smaller bullet = less penatration. Better for hostage situations. However, I'm sure that they would use a low caliber SMG for hostage situations.
