If it's anything like my SCAR 16S, RUN! Unless, you like a face full of gas on every shot, the whole gun is so loosely put together it rattled like a bottle of marbles after the first hundred shots, and I was on the forth plastic buffer when I got rid of it. All that aggravation cost me a mere $2,900!. If all that isn't enough, I got ZERO support from FN because I bought the rifle as a used police purchase (the department was the purchaser of record). Even though my rifle had less than fifty rounds through it when I bought it, any owner after the original purchaser gets no warranty, no service (FN told me to take it to a my local gunsmith), no support, and no common courtesy from FN.
PS: I did try to take my rifle to my local gunsmith. As it turned out he is also the armorer for my local police department and HE was the reason the police got rid of their SCARs. He found too many problems and he convinced the police department to dump them. They are now happily M4 users (for 1/3 the price of a SCAR)… and the gunsmith claims he doesn't see many of those M4s from one year to the next.
Can you make a short video putting the moving parts of the ARKA on a scale and comparing their weight with the moving parts of an AR-15? I'd be curious to see just how big the difference is.

Them caving to the AR-15 charging mechanism when that is not even particularly good is the biggest travesty.
Its like watching a recon on tv
is it just me or did fn just make a piston ar15 at this point
Resembles the FAL
Great! no need to worry rpg meme now.
The XCR is literally right there!
So in other words, make it more like an AR.
Somebody find a way to post the M4 on Mars meme in YouTube Comments.
It took 70 years to evolve into the ar 18 again
Probably the most ugly FN weapon they've ever made
This is silly, stupid, and the AR that’s been a proven platform is simpler and reliable to use. FCK this and FCK FN
FN is over rated fir the civilian market and over priced for the pentagon ( as if that is possible )
I never have understood the purpose of a $3k SCAR. How is it better than an AR-10 at half the price?
Do some videos of various weapons shooting people
At the end of the times, we are all ar15
Wait a second guys I think I may have seen this design before
Anyone who shells out the ridiculous dough to buy one these is an absolute dolt
Ill stick to a SCAR
Every gun is just an AK or an AR now. Modern guns are boring.
need to have wider angle shot can't see much.
Wonderful introduction
And it’s still overpriced trash
Was this rifle put through the mud puddle test❓
So they took a SCAR and saw the PSA Jakl and decided to splice it all together with an AR15
So its an ar
In the end it all becomes an ar 18

You either die an interesting gun or live long enough to see yourself become an AR15
Ive said it many times the AR will be #1 untill we get laser guns. And even still it the ak will still be around for a long ass time

Welcome back ar18

Of course the forward assist
I like it.
