SCAR-H

The FN SCAR-H, or Mk. 17 Mod 0, is a modular, modern day battle rifle made by FNH. The L-variant of this weapon was first issued to US forces in April of 2009, with a battalion of the US 75th Ranger Regiment being the first large unit deployed with the FN SCAR. It was designed at the request of SOCOM for a multi-caliber special-forces rifle capable of marksman and CQB conversions. The SCAR-H is the battle rifle version, firing the more powerful 7.62x51mm round, making it one of the first original battle rifles since the 1950s. It has competed with the XM8 and the HK416 for general adoption by the US Army, though none of the rifles were selected to replace the M4. Currently U.S. Special Operations Forces such as the Army Rangers, Delta Force, and Navy SEALs are field testing the weapon in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
In multiplayer, the high damage of the SCAR-H makes up for its small magazine capacity and lower rate of fire. The SCAR is a one shot kill at any range in Hardcore modes. It is unlocked at Level 8 on multiplayer. Even though the SCAR-H's accuracy statistic is high, its moderately high recoil means that the player must use shorter bursts at long range compared with the low-recoil assault rifles.

Tips

 * It is especially recomended for Hardcore as it is always a one shot kill.
 * Reload canceling does not work well on the SCAR, and not at all if reloading on an empty magazine.

Trivia

 * It seems to be equipped with a Magpul Rangerplate which is a designed magazine handle affixed at the bottom, which allows for a quicker reload.
 * In S.S.D.D. a "SCAR-H w/ Foregrip" can be used. The Foregrip attachment does not appear on the SCAR-H anywhere else in Campaign, and is not availible in Multiplayer.
 * Right under the iron sights there are letters that spell out "Infinity Ward INC".
 * Though the SCAR is depicted using the M203 grenade launcher, like the AK-47, it has its own specific launcher: the FN40GL.
