This video explores the Beretta SCS-70 (Special Carbine, Short), a specialized variant of the Beretta AR-70 rifle designed for Italian special forces. The SCS-70 features a shorter 12.7-inch barrel and omits features like a gas cutoff or rifle grenade capability. It also includes a pistol grip storage compartment and a polymer side-folding stock. The description notes that these carbines were in service until approximately 1990, when they were superseded by the similar SCS-70/90 pattern, which incorporated the updates from the AR-70/90 development. The video likely delves into the specific characteristics and operational context of this niche firearm.
This video delves into the history and design of the Beretta AR70, a 5.56mm infantry rifle developed in collaboration with SIG. It explores the rifle's lineage stemming from Beretta's unsuccessful bid for M16 production, its market introduction in 1972, and its adoption by military forces in Jordan, Malaysia, and Italian special forces. The description highlights design elements influenced by the AK series, such as the magazine system and rotating bolt, as well as its unique coil spring operating system. The video also touches upon the limited commercial import of the AR70/223 into the United States and its lesser-known status within the 'black rifle' community.
