The FN SCAR is only in use by US Navy S.E.A.Ls which PR does not represent. They represent grunts on the frontline not Special Forces behind it. The XM8 was canceled, hence the letter X being in it after so long, if it was in service it would be M8.

Wrong, it is used by the 75th Ranger Regiment only so far, with it being the new standard SOCOM rifle for the next decade or two...

Just a suggestion, but given the nature of the discussion, sources should be required.
Reminder: Wikipedia is not a source.

From April of this year. These are not Rangers. And according to the Navy's captions, not SEALs either, but SWCCs.

Whoever is using the FN SCAR right now, that's their own business. Except for one individual who has posted a review that was linked into the Mil Tech forum a while back.
