How about a lot more? Apparently this one has been around a while. Don't know why SOCOM had to go to FN and not American companies. (Magpul/Bushmaster)
FNH USA is an American company based in McLean, VA and the SCAR is produced in Columbia, SC alongside other US military contract small arms like the M240 and M249/Mk46/Mk48 machine guns.
The SCAR will also be available semiauto only for commercial sale soon, as the SCAR 16S/17S in 556/762.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they planned to make the XM-8 in Murtha’s district $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
