Hello, this is Kaitlin and welcome to my sandbox. This time, I'll be talking about the SCAR-H.

The SCAR-H makes her debut appearance on multiple Call of Duty titles: the weapon first appeared in Modern Warfare 2. It appears as the "SCAR-L" in Modern Warfare 3 and once again, it appears in Black Ops 2 as SCAR-H, just like in Modern Warfare 2. The SCAR-H or "Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle" is a Belgian weapon, designed, developed and mass-produced by FN Herstal.

The SCAR progeny of assault rifles consists of three variants of the same configuration: the SCAR-H or "heavy" is chambered for the full-power 7.62 by 51 millimetre NATO-standard rifle cartridges, the SCAR-L or "light" is chambered for the NATO-standard 5.56 by 45 millimetre rifle cartridge, and the HAMR or "heat-adaptive modulated rifle" also chambered for the 5.56x45mm rounds.

The SCAR series of assault rifles are made for the United States Special Operations Command, or SOCOM in order to satisfy the prerequisites of the SCAR competition program. The SCAR series of assault rifles are festooned with Picatinny rails to meet the requirements of the special operations forces for customization purposes.

In-game, damage is satisfactory. You will earn a kill through three shots to the body, and two - if ever one of the shots fired is a headshot. With good damage comes high recoil, as it is necessarily the price you have to pay for good damage. As of the post-patch, all of the assault rifles including the SCAR-H will have superior, LMG-grade penetration. Reload is moderately slow however, at two to three seconds. As with other assault rifles, hip-fire performance is plain bad, not almost as terrible as light machine guns. Due to the exceptional damage, landing three shots at a closer quarters will prove difficult as hip-fire accuracy is hampered. You'll fare no better with nimbler opponents armed with shotguns or sub-machine guns so the weapon is best suitable for middle to long-range combat.
