What Does The FN SCAR 16s and 50 Shades of Grey Have in Common?

About this video

Colion reviews the FN SCAR 16 rifle, sharing his analysis of its design features, operating system, and performance characteristics. He breaks down the rifle’s short-stroke piston system, reciprocating charging handle, stock design, and barrel profile, arguing that despite its controversial aspects and high price, the SCAR 16 is highly accurate and well-suited for targets from 50 to 400 yards. Colion teaches that the rifle excels in a quasi-recce setup and strongly recommends purchasing it in flat dark earth rather than black.

Key takeaways

• Colion explains that the SCAR 16 uses a short-stroke piston system rather than direct impingement, which he says provides a different but smooth shooting experience compared to traditional AR-15s
• According to Colion, the reciprocating charging handle is the most controversial feature and can cause malfunctions when shooting on barriers, though the ambidextrous design offers a workaround
• Colion argues the rifle is exceptionally accurate despite its lightweight pencil barrel, and he believes its sweet spot is 50-400 yards with a 1-4x optic and offset red dot setup
