Looking down the road, I'm trying to decide if I want a SCAR. and following my own rules, everything I buy needs the be able to be suppressed.
So, how does a SCAR SBR suppress when compared to an AR-15 SBR?

The FN SCAR L ( both 10" and 14.5" ) are significantly louder than a DI operated AR type rifle/carbine.
With a 10"-14,5" AR15 type rifle, you are in the c. 133-140 dB range 1 m left of the muzzle with various suppressor types, on the SCAR L's a the same location is c. 145-152 dB ( gas block/port noise )
Shooting right handed with an AR15, you are looking at c. 131-137 dB at the left ear and c. 139-142 dB at the right ear
Figures for the SCAR L at the same locations are c. 147-149 dB and 149-151 dB.
