SCAR 17 and SEAL's??

[KhanRad]

Don't know if you are talking about optics or lasers, but it is a known fact that the SCAR has been known to destroy electronics.

I haven't heard this one. Is it the piston that's doing it?

The easiest way to explain it is that the gun has two energy waves moving through it. Most times they never collide, but when they do, it destroys the laser for sure and sometimes the optic.

It is my understanding that the SCAR gets fielded with two lasers because of this issue.

Well that can get pretty expensive. I guess the 416 doesn't do this?

Damn magical firearms!

No, but really, please explain what you mean. I realize there is recoil in a discharging firearm... but... what's the other energy wave?

Not that I am aware of, but the 416 has its own issues.

From how it has been stated to me, the monolithic upper design coupled with a polymer lower creates some weird energy waves in the gun. Basically, one wave is going in one direction and another wave is going in the opposite direction. IMHO, the second energy wave is coming from the piston system.

It very well may be tied to the optics Grant, is it you that had seen RTZ mounts during recoil captured with a hi speed camera?

Yes, I have seen FN's hi-speed video test of a SCAR shooting and the RTZ mount "Sliding" all over the place.

Ouch. Really>? That is not good news at all for those that care about bullet placement.
