From Wikipedia:
The FN entry was different from existing SCAR versions in that it combined closed bolt operation (fires from bolt forward/chambered cartridge) with open bolt operation (fires from bolt to the rear, no chambered cartridge), switching automatically from closed to open bolt as the weapon's barrel heats up during firing.

Interesting.
Have to wonder if this causes a change in the POI.
That'd be a bitch in the middle of a firefight.
