@ScotlandTheBest: My bad, dude. I've never fired any of the 7.62mm M16 builds, so I don't really have a good frame of reference for that; but the SCAR-L's recoil is essentially nonexistent, and at the ranges I was firing it, it seemed just as accurate as its big brother. The SCAR-H has (obviously) heavier recoil, but it was just as controllable (in my opinion) as an AK47; it was surprisingly tame, less than most .308 rifles, if you've ever fired one. Even when I went loud, it was still pretty controllable, with the impulse just taking it straight up; easy to anticipate and compensate for.
