The FN SCAR16S used an adjustable short-stroke gas operating system. FN modeled its Bolt Carrier Group (BCG) after that of the Heckler and Koch G36, which was an adaptation of the Armalite AR18. The proven system was well known for high reliability in all environments. The SCAR was made of an upper and lower receiver similar to the M16. An extruded aluminum upper and molded polymer lower kept weight down and maintained superior strength. The upper boasted a flat top design with 1913 Picatinny along the top, as well as three, six and nine o'clock positions. A wide variety of optics and accessories can easily be added to the rifle using the 1913 rails. The SCAR also offered folding backup iron sights, the front being incorporated into the gas block. Controls mirrored those of the M16/M4 but were upgraded to be ambidextrous. This commonality in the manual of arms reduced training among personnel. All models featured a folding buttstock that made the rifle compact, a helpful feature for mechanized personnel. Chrome-lined cold hammer forged barrels were standard in different lengths depending on mission needs. The Light Model/ 16S uses a STANAG AR-type 10 round magazine.
