Product Overview
The FN SCAR 15P in 5.56x45mm sets the benchmark for reliability and operational versatility within a light-recoiling, piston-driven platform. Configured as an ultra-compact pistol, the 15P retains the proven lineage of the SCAR system while optimizing it for maneuverability in confined spaces and dynamic engagements. This enduring design facilitates stable shooting positions, allowing positive grip integration on the upper receiver under sustained fire, ensuring consistent control.
Key Features
Optimized Maneuverability
A compact 7.50″ cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined steel barrel delivers unmatched agility without compromising ballistic integrity at close to medium ranges. The pistol configuration significantly reduces overall length, enhancing utility in vehicle operations, tight clearances, or for more discrete transport.
Enhanced Reliability
The robust short-stroke gas piston system features an adjustable low-flash gas regulator, ensuring consistent operation across varied ammunition types and suppressor use, while mitigating felt recoil. A refined bolt carrier design further optimizes the recoil impulse specifically for the pistol-length gas system, contributing to shooter comfort and faster target re-acquisition. This platform’s reliability is validated through extensive military testing, establishing it as a primary choice for elite forces.
Precision Engineering
Accuracy is maintained through a free-floating, cold hammer-forged, chrome-lined 7.50″ barrel integrated into a one-piece machined aluminum upper receiver. This monolithic upper provides a rigid foundation, ensuring enduring accuracy and consistent zero retention for mounted optics and accessories.
Ambidextrous Adaptability
Designed for universal shooter compatibility, the SCAR 15P features non-reciprocating, dual charging handles that remain static during operation, allowing for diverse grip placements on the Picatinny accessory rail. Fully ambidextrous operating controls, including the selector and magazine release, facilitate seamless manipulation for any operator, right or left-handed.
Rugged Construction
The Flat Dark Earth anodized aluminum receiver with an integrated Picatinny rail system provides a durable and modular base for accessory integration. A matching FDE polymer grip offers ergonomic interface and positive retention under stress. All components are engineered for extreme durability and operational longevity.
