After more than 15 years of service, the MK17 SCAR-H is getting a modern successor. U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has confirmed it’s fielding the new MK24 Mid-Range Gas Gun-Assault starting this fiscal year, and it looks like a significant upgrade in almost every way that matters to operators in the field.
