Yeah that is true I can understand their appeal overseas.If you like the FN SCAR you can not buy one here in the US in effect you can (in most states semi-auto) if you plunk down about 3 grand I saw one the other day for $2,350 brand new an H as well 7.62x51mm it was light as a feather and I just about bought it but then realized that my wife would most likely make me spend the night on the front porch with it(not because she dislikes firearms but unplanned spending) .Of course even in the US an original M1 or M1928 Thompson would likely cost about 20 or 30 grand and you'd have to find a class 3 dealer and pay the tax if wanted the real McCoy and i suspect the few in private hands are not for sale.
An Airsoft SCAR-H costs over $400.00 unless you buy it factory direct in Korea cut out the middle man.
