The FN SCAR 15P VPR .300 Blackout pistol (FN part no. 38-101242) is the black, 30-round version of the compact piston-driven SCAR pistol from FN America. FN configured the platform as an ultra-compact pistol around a 7.5-inch hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel, and a short-stroke gas piston runs it. Dual non-reciprocating charging handles stay still while you shoot, which supports all shooting positions and lets them double as hand stops. It is a short, piston-driven package for shooters who want a gas-piston alternative to an AR-15 pistol in .300 Blackout.
