The FN SCAR 15P VPR 5.56x45mm pistol (FN part no. 38-101244) is the black, 10-round version of the compact piston-driven SCAR pistol from FN America. It pairs a 7.5-inch hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel with a short-stroke gas piston, so it runs cleanly in a very short package. FN fits dual non-reciprocating charging handles that stay static while you shoot, which supports all shooting positions and lets them double as hand stops. The 10-round magazine fits shooters who need a lower capacity, and the pistol makes a compact platform for the range or home defense.
