FN has announced the discontinuation of their SCAR legacy models (16S, 17S, 20S), with further information expected at Shot Show 2026. The video explores potential reasons, including common issues like overgassing, suppressor warranty voiding, and proprietary magazines. It speculates on a potential SCAR 2.0 or a new rifle system, the Lightweight Intermediate Caliber Cartridge (LIC) IWS, to replace it, highlighting its modern features and new caliber. The speaker advises current owners to consider purchasing parts and potentially acquiring SCARs before prices increase due to scarcity.
This video introduces FN's new Individual Weapon System (IWS), developed for irregular warfare. It highlights the weapon's unique 6.5x43mm (264) cartridge with a two-piece stainless steel construction, its adoption of the AK-47's longstroke piston operating system for enhanced reliability, and modularity with three upper receiver configurations. The IWS also features ambidextrous controls, a QD stock that folds to either side, and integrated suppressor capabilities designed to keep noise below 140 dB.
