Why the SCAR in 5.56 (MK16) was not adopted by U.S. Special Forces to replace the M4A1.
I took part in the user evaluations, and final testing of the MK16 back in late 2007, to see if the rifle was significantly better than the M4A1. Here I go over the items on the SCAR Light that were found to be issues and deemed not better than the current M4A1 at the time, and why it was not selected by SF. Also, I do go over the few SCAR Lights (MK16s) that were in use with SF.

25-yard zero target for 200-yard point of aim point of impact Tavor SAR, X95 and SCAR in 5.56.
Use this zero target at 25 yards for Tavor, X95 and SCAR 5.56/.223 rifles. Gives you 200yd POA/POI.
A Correction in video... I say 7.62x39 for SCAR in video I meant to say 762x51 (.308)
