I was wondering if there has been a torture test done with the XCR sort of like this:
When my dad was still an LEO he had a friend who was the armorer for their department. He had his own "personal" MP5. It was the department's but it was issued to him as he was SWAT/ERT certified, and he had customized it to fit him better. He ground down an extra stop on the collapsing stock half way between closed and fully open to fit him when he was wearing body armor.INFIDELS! DO NOT QUESTION THE HK MARKETING GODS. YOU SUCK AND THEY HATE YOU!
Just ask Cartman!
The XCR features a gas tube, but it has large drain holes, so it should pass a maritime test with flying colors.
It is an important test though, especially if a company has military aspirations
XCR unfortunately didn't make it anywhere in the trials for BS reasons. It deserved better than it got.I can't recall if the XCR made it that far in the SCAR trials, but that is one of the tests. My buddy Adam was tasked to perform that part on the current SCAR.
yea, wouldn't have mattered if the XCR did get into the trials, they woulda got the boot anyways due to the small size of the company and the much higher quality level of the weapon. Because heaven forbid we buy our guys the best gun, we'll just give them the cheap guns from the big producer that the gov officials have stakes inXCR unfortunately didn't make it anywhere in the trials for BS reasons.

That's not entirely accurate. The licensing and production rights could have been carried over to a bigger, or a number of bigger firms. Like in WWI and WWII, our guns were made by many different firms like Springfield, Winchester, Remington, Savage, etc. The same thing could have easily been done if the XCR had been picked. The XCR would have been cheaper than the SCAR as well. The SCAR is not worth what they are asking. It is made from extruded aluminum and polymer moldings, both of which are time saving and cost reducing measures to be able to meet production demands and have an affordable product. FN know that the US Mil is hanging off their nuts and want their product, so they can pretty much charge whatever they want and say "here, take it or leave it."yea, wouldn't have mattered if the XCR did get into the trials, they woulda got the boot anyways due to the small size of the company and the much higher quality level of the weapon.
