These are some of the most amazing pictures that I have ever seen. They compare the temperature zones of an M4 to a SCAR, after firing, using a FLIR camera. There are some images from an AK for comparison.
Looking at the thermal images, the SCAR and ACR seem to have a similar BCG design, ie it has more mass than the M4. The M4 gets VERY hot in comparison.
This is truly a must see to believe article.
