It only exists within the sight.

Basically it is a low power laser that is aimed at a lens of glass which then reflects the dot back to you. The dot is where the bullets should go.

That was the really dumbed down explanation, if you want something in more detail consult a manual.

Thanks, Damien.

Check your PMs, Mohmar.

The FN SCAR is all good but for the light version, the ROF is slower than the standard ar of today.

Why not make it fire as fast as the Famas G2 with is the ROF of 1000-1100 rpm.

First of all, because it is nice to hit what you are aiming for, secondly, because the mag will last twice as long.

Which combined gives us: You will hit more targets when firing automatic, instead of emptying your mag at one target...

Now, most of the time we don´t fire automatic, because that is what gives us the best accuracy. Not to mention it saves a lot of ammo, and keeps the gun from overheating.

Ever tried carrying all that ammunition, if you have you would not waste so quickly

Im talking about cqb situations, sorry if i didn't state that clearly.

Not ideal for close quarters, either. "Pray and spray" is poor tactics.
