SCAR-H


 * For the lighter variant, see SCAR-L.

The SCAR-H is a modular, modern battle rifle made by FN Herstal. The SCAR-H differs from the SCAR-L in that it utilizes a smaller magazine, larger 7.62mm round, and longer barrel.

Battlefield 2
The SCAR-H appears in Battlefield 2: Special Forces as the standard weapon for the United States Navy SEALs Assault Kit. The SCAR-H comes with standard frag grenades, instead of a 40mm under-barrel grenade launcher. The SCAR-H appears to have higher accuracy and higher damage than any other assault rifles except the Chinese AK-47 and MEC AK-101.

Battlefield 3
"Developed for the US SOCOM the SCAR is a modular series of weapons available in multiple interchangeable calibers, barrel lengths, and configurations. This particular model has been configured as a SCAR-H CQB (SCAR-Heavy Close Quarters Battle) with a shortened barrel and chambered for the hard hitting 7.62mm NATO round. This gives the SCAR-H a greater range than typical Carbines at the expensive of some serious recoil."

- Battelog description

The SCAR-H returns in Battlefield 3, as the SCAR-H CQB variant. It is classified as a carbine and is issued to the Engineer kit as the third unlockable item.

The SCAR-H has moderately high damage and an average rate of fire, offset by it's high amount of recoil, which becomes a real problem at a distance. Therefore, burst firing is strongly recommended. The SCAR-H performs much like a PDW in CQB, where the weapon will be able to kill multiple enemies in a choke point. It's iron sights are partially obstructed, meaning that the user much either hip-fire or attach an optic. When equipped with an optic, a bipod/foregrip and a suppressor to reduce recoil, the SCAR-H will be an extremely flexible weapon that will be able to challenge assault rifles at medium range.
