Shortening the barrel just makes more sense as well. On a technical clarification -- the operating systems of the G3 and the SCAR are so NOT related you might as well be comparing apples to chain saws. HK's delayed roller vs FN's short stroke piston system are worlds apart functionally.

Great weapons; both of them are very well balanced when you hold them while aiming down the sight. I feel like both of these weapons are a shortened and lightened version of the G3 using a new chamber but ultimately the same exact firing mechanism. When you fire the SCAR's and compare them to the G3, they feel almost exactly the same. What isn't the same is price. You can pick up a G3 for less than half the price a SCAR would cost you. I would also point out that you can buy shortened barrels and conversion kits to make the G3 less bulky. Just a thought. I’ve fired both the SCAR-L and the SCAR-H.
