No thats purely in therory. Shooting them all side by side at a range day for work... (the SCAR's ACR's AR's Ruger SR556) The recoil isn't noticeably different in any of them. However the SCAR's were using the brake... where as the others were just flash hiders.

I think they are a fine gun... but I just see no way of justify the price difference being so extreme. I love "black rifles" so I would certainly buy one if there wasn't such a huge gap in price for essentially moot points for "upgrading".

It isn't like I can't afford one either... but I still find better value in an AR with accessories and ammo to go with it for about the same price tag as a bone stock SCAR, or ACR.

I will say I found the ACR to be uncomfortably heavy.
