I sold my SCAR off mainly because it didn't match the theme my team (at the time) was going for. We went with a Bundeswehr representation, so a G36 was the better fit - quite literally, because we were using German web gear, and only G36 mags could fit the pouches perfectly.

A second reason was that I switched to only using gas guns, and the WE SCAR GBBR has too many annoying little technical issues for my tastes.

And finally, I simply stopped seeing the SCAR as a viable combat rifle. No major military has ever adopted them on a wide-scale basis, and there are no doubt sound reasons for that. I understand players wanting something different, but there are better choices than the SCAR. It was designed as an improvement on the M16/M4, but never proved to be anything better. In my opinion, as long as you stick with something that takes AK mags or M16/M4 mags there are a number of better choices out there than the SCAR.
