SCAR-L



The FN SCAR-L is a modular assault rifle made by Belgian small arms company Fabrique du Nationale (FN). It features a quick-changing barrel, and an extendable stock among other features. This is the assault rifle variant of the SCAR weapon system. The SCAR-L differs from the SCAR-H because it uses the smaller caliber 5.56 NATO round, and having a slightly lighter barrel.

Battlefield 2
The SCAR-L in Battlefield 2 is a tier two unlock for the Special Forces kit. It features the accuracy and power of the G36C, but has a usable optic attached to the weapon system.

Battlefield: Bad Company
In singleplayer, the SCAR is appears as a collectible. It can be found on Acta Non Verba, outside one of the factories while the player's destroying the Russian fuel reserves at the beginning of the level.

In multiplayer, it is the default Compact Assault Rifle for the American Specialist kit. It has low damage and a low fire rate (compared to other Specialist weapons) making kills difficult to achieve, but, comparatively to other compact assault rifles, it has good accuracy. It has a 60 round magazine and cannot use iron sights, as aiming simply does a slight zoom and increases accuracy (like all compact assault rifles in game).

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
In singleplayer, the SCAR-L Carbine is one of the two SMGs found in the campaign, with the other being the AKS-74U. It can be found as a collectible in the level Crack the Sky and Zero Dark Thirty. It can also be found with a 4x Optic Scope on multiple levels.

In multiplayer, the SCAR-L Carbine has low to medium recoil, a low rate of fire and high damage. Unlike the first Bad Company, it has the ability to use iron sights and has a 30-round magazine. Compared to some of the other Submachine Guns in-game, it can be very effective at longer ranges, as it can nearly be used like an Assault Rifle and its low rate of fire prevents overwhelming recoil.

Trivia

 * In Battlefield: Bad Company, it is unrealistically given a 60 round capacity, whereas in real life, it has a 30 round magazine.
 * The SCAR-L is considered an SMG in Battlefield: Bad Company 2; it is actually an assualt rifle.
 * The SCAR-L can be found on dead Russian soldiers quite commonly in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is strange as it is only known to be used by the U.S. Special Operations Command.
 * The SCAR-L is the "Little Brother" to the SCAR-H which uses the bigger 7.62x51mm round and a longer barrel.
