Well, maybe in SOCOM-ville, but there is no validated requirement for a general issue 762 rifle to replace the M16/M4 from CENTCOM or any other combatant command.
Again, what will be interesting with SCAR is how much draw 762 really has amongst the rank and file when they have both options - and the M4 - available.
Yes,
I am speaking from the perspective of “Happy-COM”
And also correct, (for now) there is no “Validated requirement” in CENTCOM, “Sad-COM” for this weapon. However, once the word gets out and folks start firing it and engaging live targets, that may well change.
