I went to San Francisco today to try and go on a tour of the amphibious assault carrier USS Bonhomme Richard, which is here for Fleet Week. Unfortunately, by the time I found the ship, they weren’t allowing any more people on board, so I wandered into a nearby exhibit put on by the Navy Special Warfare group. And what did I see hanging off the side of an inflatable boat? Yup, a SCAR! One of the sailors(?) told a little boy nearby that it wasn’t real, but it looks more like a real rifle that’s been rendered inoperable (the flash hider looks weird, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s missing the bolt or other crucial parts). At least it looks more real than other mock weapons I’ve seen (which tend to be made of brightly colored plastics with no moving parts).
