Useless is your opinion.
I have a 7.5" Rainier barrelled upper that has never missed a shot, suppressed, unsuppressed.
It's been combat accurate at 100 yards. What's useless about it?
It's still a rifle bullet traveling over 2000fps.
I use expanding ammo so I don't care about fragmentation.

Europeans have been rolling with sub 10" duty/combat guns for awhile without issue. Good examples being the SIG 553 and G36K
7.5" is too short for my tastes. The blast alone would be too annoying, as would be the reduced ballistics, but all the ones I have fired worked okay. Though, 10-10.5" is the magic number for me, but some people believe that is too short too despite years of service and being vetted by qualified people.

What Happened to the American dream? It came true. You're looking at it.
The blast is bad. Indoors it's intolerable unless running a suppressor.
A 14.5" is pretty bad unsuppressed indoors too.
I've shot it outside with a Levang and it's not too bad.

Another reason I like the Levang

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

My friends tell me that the Sig 552 and HK53 lay the hurt on people just fine. It has a place.
Nope, don't take me serious. There are several members here, several big name instructors, and several tens of thousands of rounds that have passed through this rifle that will vouch for the setup you are too short sighted to accept.
I think you need a drink buddy, and not the kool aid shit you are currently drinking.

Collapsed my 7.5" AR is 24 1/4" long and weighs 8# with an eotech, f&r BUIS, ASAP Plate, Suppressor Mount/FH, CTR stock, full XTM Rail Covers, and MIAD grip.
The SCAR CQC is 7# with nothing installed and 31" long collapsed. Thats almost 7" longer and probably heavier when you add the optics, BUIS, etc ...
More noteworthy, my AR is probably less then 1/2 the price and when I built her, over 4 years ago, the SCAR option was non-existent.
I try not to run it much suppressed for this reason. I really see its big pro suppressed in the home defense arena.
