SCAR series: H or L?

[Curo]

Ok so basically I'm looking at the SCAR series, and I cannot decide to which to get the SCAR-H or SCAR-L?

[Eeyore]

They perform the exact same. The only differance is the appearance of the magazine. The SCAR light uses standard AR mags so it would be easier and usually cheaper to go with that option.

SCAR H is sexier.

Yeah, the only difference in performance happens in real life. But go with L because of what the Donkey Habs fan said.

Also DMR vs. CQB type issues could come into play.
Luckily you've got a couple years to decide, years in which the SCAR will likely cease to be used.

I should point out, the two im looking at (ARES version) have the same price so choosing either or, is for purely cosmetic reasons

Usually easier to find mag pouches in different styles for the 5.56 vs the 7.62.....

Although the H is gorgeous.

Yup, stated above have been the exact reasons Dai Viet told me to go with the SCAR-L. Mag pouches would be so much easier to find plus, if you really need to, someone can throw you a mag on field and you'll be up and running again. AR mags are much more abundant.

Because everyone else has an AR.

I own a scar l and pretty much saved money on mags and pouches since i owned a m4 previously

Scar-L. They use M4 mags. For a CA Scar-H, they use hard-to-find Sr-25 mags. I'd veer clear of that.

Poor bastards with MP-5s don't fare so well.

[Basic-Wedge]

I have a VFC SCAR-L. It's somewhat easier to find mags that fit an L series, but not all M4 mags work in a SCAR (don't know why). It might be different with the Ares SCAR, but I've never seen one, so have no firsthand experience.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Also Hero does only sell to 18+, but come on it doesn't take a brainiac to get around that, I mean if 14 year olds can get beer.

EDIT: Please don't start bashing me about my age because in reality, late next year I will be 18, and its not like I am one of the more immature people my age. Plus you all where my age at one time, and you just wanted to be accepted, and find people that shared the same interests as yourselves.
