This silhouette feels like it’s stolen from every major gun, but isn’t an actual AR. That upper is closer to an AK slant at the rear and the forward barrel shroud is odd. Although I’ve seen some magpul esque 3rd party stuff.
That said, 5.56 is a round I’d be switching off of for everyone else. It’s ubiquitous, but the military is switching away from it due to body armor resistance to 5.56. Now .308 and 300 black out… most of the gun nuts all agree that the best bugout bag gun is an FN-FAL. Excellent stopping power, highly accurate, controllable, and has some great built-in features that make it perfect for survival on the front lines.

Who, exactly? FALs that make it to the US are notoriously finicky and unreliable. The ones made by Century Arms take a lot of fiddling to make them work at all, and when they do, they’re 2MOA at best, and more likely 3MOA. Also, even in carbine configuration, it’s big and heavy.
.300BO is based off of the 5.56x45mm cartridge; it’s intended as a subsonic round–e.g., extra-quiet when you’re shooting with a silencer–and has ballistics on par with a bus. It’s big, heavy, slow, and has an incredibly short effective range.
Neither .308 (7.62x51mm NATO) nor .300BO will go through a level IV plate, which is pretty standard at this point for US soldiers.
If you want highly accurate in an AR-15 package, go for 6mm ARC. If you want highly accurate in an AR-10 package, go for 6.5CM or 6.5PRC.
Most countries have moved away from battle rifles. The biggest reason is that ammo is heavier, and heavier ammo means you can carry less. All other things being equal, the side with the most ammunition tends to win. The second reason is that engagements rarely happen at ranges that require a full-powered cartridge; a mid-sized cartridge is quite sufficient for infantry use.
Oh god it’s another cursed abomination from gunnitrust.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen it today, and if it wasn’t made by AI I have to assume someone crafted the original image, giggling to themselves as they put so many features that don’t mesh into it, while also seeming like it could.
Honestly it almost looks like a Bren 805, but something doesn’t quite look right about the receiver. Like it’s a high receiver from an AR platform, but everything else looks like an 805.
Ive been wanting to get a 308 for awhile since most of my stuff is pistol caliber or 556. Awhile back I almost got a coworkers dad to sell me his FAL, but then the day before the exchange he decided he wanted to keep it. Ah well.

You may call me a traditionalist, but I prefer shooting fascists with a 30-06 from a garand, the way God intended.

SIG 556-SWAT, a US-made iteration of the SIG 550 series that is out of production now.
Think it’s just the original sig 556, buddy of mine had one. The later models came with 550 style folding stocks if I remember correctly.

I’m pretty sure it’s just the silhouette of the SG 553 from counter strike https://counterstrike.fandom.com/wiki/SG_553/Gallery?file=Sg556_hud_csgoa.png
It took a while to find, but this comment finally got it right.
