FN SCAR®-SC Subcompact Carbine: 2 calibers available

Regardless of the caliber, the FN SCAR®-SC features a standard telescopic buttstock allowing a 3-position length adjustment and is available with a wide choice of buttstock types (short telescopic buttstock, foldable or fixed adjustable buttstock, or foldable, adjustable offset buttstock for use with helmet visor) to fulfil the specific needs of the users. Similarly, all FN SCAR®-SC variants are available with a receiver with Picatinny type side rails or with KeyMod receiver.
The FN® Ballistic Calculator: the latest development in FN® e-novation product line
Alongside the FN® FCU Mk3 Fire Control Unit for 40mm LV/MV grenades and the FN® SmartCore shot counter, FN Herstal will present its latest development in the FN® e-novation portfolio: the FN® Ballistic Calculator. This compact and high-performance weapon-mounted range finder is dedicated to sniper and precision rifles, and machine guns from 5.56 to .50 cal. It includes a ballistic solver, laser pointers and illuminator.
New FN Herstal Cartridges
FN Herstal has recently introduced four new cartridges to its 5.56 and .50 calibers, delivering a still wider purpose-designed small caliber ammunition range.
The new FN PERMAX™ Enhanced Performance Round (EPR) cartridge delivers superior performance in urban combat by passing through barriers such as windscreens, automobile bodywork, glazing or masonry to reach a protected target. It has excellent mass retention behind barriers, maintaining greater incapacitating effect.
The new FN PROPASS™ Armor Piercing (AP) is ideally suited when the mission requires defeating hard targets using 5.56 caliber. Featuring a tungsten carbide core, the projectile perforates armoured targets.
In the .50 cal ammunition line, FN Herstal has designed the FN ARIA™ .50 RR, a reduced range cartridge that features a shorter travel distance limited to 3,500m. The FN ARIA™ .50 RR cartridge is dedicated to safe and effective training with .50 cal weapons on shooting ranges that are limited to the use of 7.62mm weapons. A tracer version, the FN ARIA™-T .50 RR-T, is also available. These four new cartridges are qualified on FN Herstal weapons and compliant with Nato standards.
For its whole product portfolio, FN Herstal offers 360-degree service support, including a wide range of certified accessories and ammunition.
The FN Herstal products dedicated to Defense and Security can be viewed on FN Herstal booth, Hall 5 A, Stand J042, Belgian Pavilion, during MILIPOL 2019, Paris, France, November 19-22, 2019.
