FN SCAR gets a PDW model

Looks like FN is finally joiing the ultra compact carbine game.

I like it, though, I would rather have a standard SCAR stock instead of the HK type stype.

Here is the translated text and linky

The FN SCAR Personnal Defense Weapon (PDW) is the latest range of SCAR . Compact and lightweight, it is for gunners of crew served weapons, drivers, crew armor, etc.. The SCAR PDW is chambered for the cartridge 5.56 x 45 mm NATO, but its performance is increased when employing the new cartridge M 855 A1 .

FN SCAR PDW

The SCAR PDW was presented for the first time at AUSA 2010. He had a short barrel, ending with a cover open flame. Lacrosse SCAR has been replaced by a retractable stock along the body of the weapon. The top of the chamber is provided with a fastening rail picatinny type for mounting sighting systems. It also has rails on both sides of the handguard and under was.

Because of its short length of the weapon and its firepower, it can be used by bodyguards. At the lower end of a protrusion was allows a good positioning of the hand. Control devices are type ambidextrous.

WOW cool

Hm.

Not bad.

Throw on some KAC sights, maybe an HK height T1, and mount; and you have a great to go PDW option.

...Until/if the KAC PDW ever comes out.

It is very cool. I got to play with one a couple years ago, but was asked to not discuss it.

The reason for the HK style stock is an attempt to keep it as slim as possible for storage in confined spaces.

I'll take one please.

One thing that has always concerned me about the SCAR (and ACR) is the strength of the side-folding stock mechanism.

Neat PDW.

Love the idea of that. Probably going to be very difficult to obtain.

Can anyone discern what muzzle device is being used?

Cheers

Now I think you can discuss it.

Well, since the SCAR has one of most smooth and well regulared gas system, I consider ideal for a PDW version.

Now chamber it in the 7.62x35 BLK for pure awesomeness.
