What's so good about SCAR's ?
 

What's so good about SCAR's ? I always wanted to ask this question. They are similar to Hk416 / M16 i find except have a buttstock which is foldable? Otherwise, why are they so expensive? M14 I can understand why its expensive (had a g&g veteran) but SCAR....? and plus, i really don't like the buttstock lol. It's like deformed or something. Is there a reason why its expensive? The ones i see on classified are about 450$+ but without anything .... can easily go up to 600-800$ ..?

Just curious guys, thanks!

Its cause its the new M4 basically the us army is seriously considering to issue it to all the troops. SCAR is simply a hype up started to piston reintroduction in ARs. (then its T91, hk416, ACR)

You mean why are they so good in real life or in airsoft?

In real life, they are a new kind of design

Otherwise in airsoft, they are new and less companies make then compared to M4/M16, which have been cloned by virtually ALL the airsoft brands. Usually More offers = lower prices.

Then again, I'll let someone more experienced answer your question with more technical explanations...

In airsoft.

Like I said in the other thread: Probably just the "new and cool" factor.

it's not cool at all, im serious lol. It's so huge and all ? its like holding a Doom 3 rifle, especially after you add a 552 scope and if it has a grenade launcher o___O

lol
We have a colloquial saying in Chinese that literally translates into "new toilet". It's used to ridicule something that is new and the people that are interested by it for that reason. It means that when something is new, even if it's a toilet, people will be attracted to it simply because it's new.

The one's that are $600-$800 is the stock-upgraded GBBRs.

Because the SCAR resembles the BFG9000

not sure how you get it but in Mandarin its nothing close.

The saying I'm referring to is in Cantonese.

It usually has to do with availability when they first hit the scene in Canada, and were made only by high grade companies like Star and VFC. Now the clones hit the market and the price went down.

But the price of clones is high close to the same price as non clone brands such as tm and ca new

hahaha aznpose ! i get what r u saying ! new toilet *sane si han*

I'd say it's more like the price on the "cheap" clones are ridiculously high. Not sure where anyone is seeing a price drop. A $150US DBoys M4 sells for $300-$350 in Canada. The $150US DBoys SCAR is being sold for $450+ in Canada. How this is a 'price drop', I don't know.
