As far as Battlefield 2 is concerned, it is a carbine. All the SpecOps main weapons are carbines.

Here's something:

According to the images in this site. The SCAR-L has a longer barrel than the H.

Usually carbines are short barrel versions of Assualt rifles right? Funny how it's the other way 'round in BF2...

Edit: I think that's the barrel thats longer in the SCAR-L...if i'm wrong and that's something else correct me

Like I said, the god damn barrel is longer in the SCAR-L than it is for SCAR-H. So how is it that SCAR-L can be classified carbine but H as assault rifle. Even if L uses 5.56 and H uses 7.62

The M4 is a carbine because it's a short barrel smaller version of the M16, but the SCAR-L

BF2 doesn't make any sense

Generally carbines are lighter and have shorter barrels and sometimes use smaller cartridges. The SCAR guns come with different barrel options, so the L is just pictured with one of the larger ones and the H with one of the smaller ones. I'll have to check in game and look at them.
Real life statistics:
The SCAR-H weighs 3.72 kilograms, fires a 7.62 cartridge, and comes with barrel lengths of 16 and 13 inches.
The SCAR-L weighs 3.55 kilograms, fires a 5.56 cartridge, and comes with barrels lengths of 14.5 and 10 inches.

I agree with T2. However, the scar-L is an assault rifle in real life and a carbine in BF2. Technically, in BF2, it's only a carbine by name, not charecteristics. Anything a spec forces uses is called a carbine. In bf2. However, it's definitely an assault rifle. Only a carbine by name. It's not a compact version of the SCAR-H, which is an assault rifle, so it's definitely an assault rifle. Just a carbine by name in bf2.

Yes, the manufacturer calls them both assault rifles.
