The weapon can mount a variety of attachments including under barrel grenade launchers and combat scopes, making it an excellent tactical choice to adapt to the rapidly changing combat situations of modern conflicts. Following a successful trial period, it rapidly became the assault rifle of choice for all US military branches and various security forces and military contractors worldwide. The SCAR family of weapons was first unveiled in 2018, shortly before the Lingshan Incident. The SCAR is part of the Superior Combat Assault Rifle weapon family comprising the SCAR assault rifle, the shorter SCARAB carbine, and the SCARE sniper variant. Field tests confirm that it exceeds its predecessor in almost every area, from muzzle velocity through flight stability to terminal ballistics. Utilizing advanced rifle cartridges that are smaller than the previous 5.56mm rounds, the SCAR offers increased ammunition storage per-Magazine with zero impact on combat effectiveness. Introduced in 2018 and manufactured by US-based Scrutch Industries, the SCAR is now the standard-issue assault rifle for all US Forces.
