If you intend on customizing your gun, you may not want to get a SCAR. Aftermarket pistol grips require modding to function in the gun. There is also no aftermarket support for the hop up unit if that breaks, it is also a very tight hop up unit so many rubbers simply won't fit, they tear instead. There is also no space for a good MOSFET, I've only managed to fit a PicoSSR2 in the gun but that burned out within 50 shots...

VFC guns chrono differently depending on when they were imported and who imported them. My SCAR was brought in to Canada from the states (it had an orange barrel tip) so it was shooting about 370 FPS. My SR16 was imported directly from Taiwan, so it came with a M130 spring and was shooting 450 FPS. It also came with a neodymium magnet motor because of the heavy spring.

If you like the SCAR better get the SCAR. If you like one of their AR variants better get that. You won't be disappointed.
I think I can live without those upgrades

Is a MOSFET necessary? I wont be going over a 9.6v battery

I like the iron sights on the scar, the rear sight has a large and small ring as well as fully adjustable(I'm no pro on terminology)
......I can not decide which colour I like better. I feel like im going to paint it anyways but I cant choose!
