The FN SCAR 16s is a highly sought-after rifle, despite some controversial design elements like its reciprocating charging handle. Its short-stroke piston system offers a smooth recoil impulse distinct from AR-15s. The rifle features functional, albeit sometimes mocked, stock design and excellent ambidextrous safety selectors. While its pencil barrel heats quickly, it maintains surprising accuracy and dissipates heat efficiently.

Hickok45 revisits the FN SCAR 17s after five years of ownership, highlighting its extreme reliability and simple gas-operated piston design. Despite a mixed reputation and high price point (around $3,000), the rifle excels in performance, though its factory muzzle brake creates significant blast. The review also touches on magazine availability, aftermarket options, and comparisons to other battle rifles.
