Belgian Version...

**The FN Scar** also known as ***The Mk-16*** and ***Mk-17*** was a Belgian Designed Assault/Battle Rifle that was introduced to the United States Military in 2009 from FN Herstal, and was actually created at the time for the United States USSOCOM branch of the American Military.

During the early years of the Scar's development the Scar was used by the United States Army for many years even up to the Mideastern Crisis.

The Scar officially became a standard issue rifle for the Belgian Army in 2011, with both FN America and FN Herstal constructing both variants for both countries.

At the time of the breaking up of NATO and the United Nations, the United States after having to have been thrown off the United Nation's console after a vote was conducted between both the United Kingdom and France, had continued to develop the Scar from FN America, much to the disproval of FN Herstal.

In 2017, the very same year that the United States has been voted out of the United Nations, the Federation of Belgium like the Republic of Sweden before them launched an international Lawsuit against FN America, in order to force the US to stop producing its own version of the Scar, but due to the weapon being made for the United States, before Belgium claimed official owner ship, the Lawsuit like the Republic of Sweden's failed attempt had failed, and FN America continued to produce Scars for the United States, this time at a much rapid pace with more and more rifles entering the hands of American soldiers.

Disgusted, FN Herstal began to produce much better versions of their original designed weapon in order to compete with the American Scar, but neither of these weapons would ever face each other until 2019, when the United States actually Invaded and conquered the Federation of Belgium that same year, eliminating FN Herstal and the United Western Nation's last large weapons supplier and manufacturer.

Belgium would be liberated by 2023 and FN Herstal would return to operations by 2025, but by then all hostilities between the UWN and CP would cease as the Eurasian Strategic Alliance launched a full Invasion of Eastern Europe, along with the United States also being Invaded.

The Scar continued to serve with both the United States and Belgian Armies until the end of the Third World War in 2029.

## ***Trivia***

* *In Reality the FN Scar before it became an official Belgium Standard Issued Weapon that replaced the FN FNC in 2009, was actually designed for the United States USSOCOM unit revealing that the weapon was attend to be used for the United States before the Belgians mass produced the Weapon and made it into their own Standard issue rifle in 2011...*

* *Though built from FN Herstal, the Scar being used by the United States Army has no connections to Belgium and is built and provided to the United States Military by FN America in North Carolina.*
	+ *Where unlike the Lawsuit that was conducted by the Swedish government in an attempt to force ATK to stop production of the M136 in 2016, the Belgium Government at the time prior to World War III in 2017 could no longer prevent or stop the US from producing the Scar in the United States, mainly due to the weapon being designed for the US forces at the time of 2009..*

* *The American Scar was mainly used by all branches of the United States Army in all theaters of World War III, including in Pre War Engagements such as the Ithowa Island Incident of 2018...*
