SCAR vs M16 Snow and Ice
This video compares the FN SCAR 16S and Colt M4 in extreme arctic conditions, simulating a test inspired by a 1986 Shooters Magazine article. Both rifles were subjected to freezing temperatures and water immersion, causing their bolts to freeze shut. After manual clearing, both firearms demonstrated reliable function, with the M4 performing exceptionally well even after being packed with snow. The SCAR 16S experienced a minor issue with locking open on the last round, attributed to an old magazine.
