Guns of Tarkov: The FN SCAR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant is joined by video gamer, Twitch streamer, and RUclipsr Jesse Halteman, aka JesseKazam, to take a look at the FN SCAR military battle rifle. In video game circles the SCAR is often regarded as the "best" gun a player can choose. The status of Fabrique Nationale's SCAR in the real world is more ambiguous. Some shooters love it, others not so much. The SCAR is extremely lightweight and its recoil is gentle, but that combo also makes it an "optic killer." The SCAR's modularity makes it very adaptable and upgradable, and it uses M4 / M16 magazines and ammo, which eases military logistics. Features like the folding stock, the ability to fire with that stock folded, a charging handle that can be positioned the left or right side of the rifle, and ambidextrous magazine release and selector lever make the SCAR an excellent weapon for real world special forces users AND gamers. The newest addition in "Escape from Tarkov" is the SCAR 16 and the SCAR 17 Heavy in the player's weapon options. And isn't it good to have more options?

This was so much fun! Thanks for having me!
I was hoping you would talk about shooting the SCAR. Was this your first time?
Thx for doing this
Jessica Sam with the real life gunsmith 😆
You did great man
This is WAY too cool Jesse! Love it man!
Its beyond necessary for the firearms community to have outreach in the first person shooter community. A lot of young men have an interest in the 2nd amendment and weapons, videos/channels like these will be a catalyst to making them responsible gun owners.
My pops raised me with guns. FPS games got me into military style weapons. I love this
irresponsible or not better to be a gun owner than not one haha just don't do horrible things with your guns and I dont care
I love my tricked out SCAR 16S. It's my best rifle.
Great video!
It took 17 years to upgrade it to have a non-reciprocating charging handle. That's some real progress, baby! :D
I haven't played 1st person games in years. Used to play COD, Insurgency and others. I loved the M249 in 5.56 but it took a lot of getting used to and understanding. Based on the conversations here with Caleb and Jesse I may have to check this game out. I wonder if my old group has this one in their line up. Enjoyed it and thanks.
It's very punishing but if you know about weapons and ballistics you'll love it. Just make sure you research it first.
However realistic Tarkov might be, I'd be surprised if it doesn't suffer from the problem inherent in every other online game - the other players.
You'll need to spend a chunk of change on a decent gaming rig. Graphics have come a looong way in recent years. Sometimes in Tarkov, I stop and look around to admire the world that that the developers have created. Then I hear a sound and run for cover!
@@astronomenov99 The PC I built is a gaming rig, but I'm sure it is outdated now as that was several years ago. The Motherboard, graphics card, RAM and the three hard drives were all gaming based. Now it is just a PC as I have not played any games in several years. It is likely time to build a new rig anyway. Thanks for the info.
Watch BSG add durability to optics lol
I love jesse, he maybe needs some training though or just restraint. You dont need to go "okay" "yeah" "okay" "gotcha" "yep" "yeah" after every single statement from the speaker. At least specifically on video that isnt meant to be a podcast.
Its a minor point though, good video.
A gun that doesn't outperform the M1a
A gun that doesn't outperform the PTR-91
But you will pay more then double the amount, just to have an equivalent, hahaha.
If you don't like money, get yourself an FN SCAR, good, bad or indifferent, LOL
Listening to a video gamer critiquing a firearm that they've never seen before much less fired. Waste of time.
"Picking a gun is like picking a pair of shoes" said while looking at the SCAR, which I can't unsee the fact that the SCAR stock looks like an Ugg boot. now you can't unsee it either.
why did you do this to my brain...
The Belgians use the SCAR, both variants. I'm sure there are more militaries out there that use it
US Army special forces also use it
Us army uses all 3 variants
From what I’ve read, the Belgians are in the process of phasing out their FNCs and F2000’s over to this.
But yeah, this is the standard rifle used by SF, has been for over a decade.
It’s not a standard issue rifle in the USA. The 17 has been selected in a DMR role, the 16 was never adopted and never made it past testing phase, it was pretty much universally hated and pointless due to all the m4 variants. Even among the one that used the Scar 17 platform it does not get a lot of love.
My scar 17 has been 100% reliable and has very low recoil. Love that thing 🤘
I just wish the magazines were a little cheaper... or magpul was in the market 😪 I'm not 100% sold on the dpms/sr-25 magazine replacement lowers 🤷♂️
Jesse be like... Yeah, yup, mmm.
And, occasionally, "understood"
This is one reason I love shooters. It gets gamers into guns.
WTF is Tarkov?
Why am I constantly seeing it referenced everywhere?
Furthermore, why should I care?
Not trying to be rude either. I am genuinely curious.
Stay classy my friends.
Tarkov is a video game. Brownells is trying to coattail on it, to drum up more potential customers. I dont care about it (Tarkov) either.
Its a videogame with player-vs-player and Player-vs-enemy (or AI enemies) interactions, the gunplay and damage/armour system are incredibly detailed and realistic. It is based in Russia and is created by a Russian design team. Especially if you are into modern Russian weapons I'd encourage you to find gameplay on youtube
Tarkov is another step forward in how accurately firearms are portrayed in video games. This is one of the main reasons for its popularity, as well as a reason for why it is so commonly juxtaposed with media that showcase real firearms.
@@iornlint PvPvE if you want to keep it short
@@juanignacioflores3820 yeah but I figured it'd be helpful for the fellows who don't play any video games
Keep this going. look at all the Tarkov guns with jesse!
Jesse irl ftw
I support this content.
It's a nice weapon platform but most modern militaries are very cost-oriented when it comes to outfitting their troops. Nevertheless it's used by a lot of police/CT teams worldwide, and some militaries such as the Portuguese Army use it too. I personally find it aesthetically pleasing and I imagine it's probably a fine rifle, however I'll never know until I get a bit of trigger time on one myself!
It depends. The Bushmaster ACR / Magpul Mosada was designed entirely so that Special Forces could get the SCAR for half the price. They ultimately passed, so it went into MW2 and fizzled out in the civilian market.
By and large cost is the single biggest factor, but the bigger militaries have had a doctrine shift in the last decade to really change that.
Most people that hate the scar are just poor.
Or have a FAL.
It doesn’t have to be one or the other bro.
The hate from the scar came from SF guys saying they hated it. Everyone else just fell in line with them.
@@mrsickwick While I agree with that, I don’t like the looks, or the reciprocating handle. I only have a scar 17 because I didn’t have a 308 semi auto because on Brandon’s Inauguration Day I needed one as I didn’t have one. It’s all they had so I snagged it. The gun is phenomenal though from a quality and function standpoint. I love how lightweight it is too. Let the poors and the basement larpers hate. Maybe one day Shawn Ryan will let them have their balls back.
@@mrsickwick one sf guy said he hated it, he also couldn’t name the parts of the rifle correctly. He also said he doesnt like the reciprocating bolt lol.
That sf guy was an idiot.
I N T E R E S T I N G
is anyone paying attention to how handsome caleb is?
Bruh how am I 2 weeks late to this. Jesse Kazam crossover event???
@8:34 Hello from 3rd ABCT!
Hey! I knew someone would get it lol
Looking forward to the G28 episode. ;P
Their haircuts are just mirror images of each other
This was a nice featurette, can't wait for the next one! :D
The sad part is BSG did the Scar dirty
Brownell's: Does "Guns of Tarkov" video
Also Brownell's: Feature rifle not in the game
Me: Huh??
It's been in the game for like, almost 2 weeks
:D
Scar rifles are expensive, my budget fell short, I never acquired one. They look cool.
Frist!!!
I wanna see more of Jesse here
would really like to see one day a collab between you guys and the developers of escape from tarkov (battlestate games) i had seen some documentaries in the past which i think are still out there of when they researched and actually handled and fired different weapons in russia from russian military experts where they are based out of. their inclusion of western weapons outside of the M4 is interesting and i would like to understand the scope of their research on such guns and how it was implemented in the game
I have never seen a SCAR that matches as closely as that one
Which optics would survive?
Vortex Razor HD Gen III is a real popular optic to throw on it
XCR by Robinson Armament or HK MR556A1. Wolf T1 A1 upper for budget short piston rifle. Tarkov need to add PTRD or PTRS rifle. lol
Got both. I understand why SOCOM decided to stay with the M4 / Mk18 style platforms. As you pointed out, it’s about bulk. The Mk18 is slim and compact, with good ergonomics. It makes for a faster handling gun when doing CQB. And the HK 416 gives you a cleaning running gun like the FNFAL, but adds a little weight.
If I had to choose carry either the MK17 or a LMT L129 as a battle rifle I’d choose the SCAR. That’s based on weight. But in the long run I’d put my money on the LMT M129 or the KAC M110 style of rifle with respect to durability.
Never heard of your channel. Jessica Sam really helped your algorithm
Cool thing about the scar is that it fires from a closed bolt position and as the gun heats up it switches to an open bolt position allowing the camber to cool more efficiently under sustained fire, so I've read any ways.
💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I love this series so much
I love that you guys are doing videos like these, catering to all audiences of the gun community.
The Scar pistol grip is not compatible with regular AR grips. They're close, but different, for reasons only known to FN. Parker Mountain Machine sells modified versions of popular AR grips that will work on the Scar platform.
I'd like to hear more of that intro music. Does anyone know what it is?
This is the scar! Need to add one of these to the collection
Prefer the ar10
Shot one magazine of scar didn't feel right
You’re right. It doesn’t feel right. It feels better than right.
Two things I don't like about the Scar, that reciprocating charging handle will hurt you if you grab it . And the price.
they just came out with a non reciprocating handle. added $500 to the price though💀
FN Scar fits me like a glove. Weirdly enough, so does their FN Fiveseven and 509 handgun. FN seems to cater people similar to myself.
I don't like the SCAR rifles. I prefer a AR-15 with a 20" barrel with a A2 stock & flash suppressor. Just like the M16-A2 I had in the Marine Corps. Of course the 3 round burst wasn't worth a damn since the rifle malfunctioned more than firing semi-automatic.
SCAR: $2K answer to a $500 question.
The stench of a poor trying to justify his BCA is strong here...
My favorite series!
I can see some viable uses for a SCAR17 but don’t really see the need for the 5.56 version. It doesn’t do really anything a quality AR can’t. Or a piston AR like a PWS.
All im saying is i can build a quality 308 ar for half the price.
@@ryand8024 Aero and Anderson aren’t quality. LMT, KAC, HK are the only 308 rifles of the same quality. It’s not just about does it shoot, fit and finish, reliability, safety, reliability, longevity of parts, engineering, etc. The Daniel defense DD5v3 is in the tier just below the aforementioned rifles and it’s $2500 which is only $500 less. The “just as good” crowd is getting a little old. A civic dx trim is not just as good as a Mercedes c63 amg.
@@ryand8024 yup. I agree.
@@CaptainCreampie69 aero is quality
Just a suggestion for Jesse:
When Caleb is talking and explaining something for a bit longer, don't say "yeah", "aha", "interesting", etc. all the time. In a private conversation it's absolutely appropriate because that's how you show that you're paying attention to the other person. But in these videos Caleb is not only talking to you but to the audience also and it's distracting to hear somebody else "interrupting" the speaker.
Please, don't take it as an offense, you really seem like an open minded, curious, nice person, just paying some attention to this minor thing would make the videos even more enjoyable.
I do not like the SCAR... I would rather take a modernized L1A1...
This is one firearm that's been on my bucket list for many, many years.
I'm sorry for your mental disability....
@@jammbbs1688 🤣
Liked commented and subscribed please do more! Happy holidays guys!
It will definitely leave a SCAR. In your wallet. 🤣🤑
I’m having a hard time figuring out which of these 3 fine creatures is better looking!! Jesse, Caleb, or the Scar…
🤨📸
Da fu!?
In europe, many countries are replacing and modernizing their service rifles. Countries that do not have big enough firearm industries are adopting the HK416 because of the price : cheaper than the Scar for same performances. That was one major argument from France to choose the HK over the Scar to replace their FAMAS. Only Portugal adopted the Scar-L to replace their G3. I don't know why, maybe FN Herstal made something about the price to have a massive adoption in the hope to enlight this gun.
When hosting a show your and your cohost is talking to you, they are really talking to the audience. Therefore you don’t have to “yeah, ah, ok, interesting, mhmm” everything every three or so words.
gay gun
Ive wanted a scar for a long time
Caleb... 🙄 I'm sure he's a nice guy, but not someone I want to drink a beer with. They probably say the same about me...
I'd drink a beer with you.
Merry Christmas Caleb! 🍻 😳
You look about as awkward as I feel when I'm on home videos with my kids and the public doesn't even get to see or comment on those! Thanks for all you do to bust smyths and keep the public educated on cool firearm stuff! 😁🙃
As much as I like a good beer, it would be long drive!
Beyond them looking cool I don’t see any real reason for me to invest that kind of money into a gun that is that incredibly hard to find and way above MSRP. For some people these types of guns are their bitcoin. They don’t buy them to shoot them or to utilize them properly but to make a huge dollar on it same with HK. I saw the same thing happened quite recently with the bourbon industry. Nowadays people mostly only buy really good bourbon to resell it at a higher price.
Love my ACR!
