short barrel AR-15's are AIDS.
5.56 is very velocity dependent and when you have a short ass barrel then it reduces the power significantly.
One could argue "muh CQB" but if you're some random retard in the US with the idea that there's gonna be some nasty civil war then you're more than likely going to be taking 200+ yard shots where a 14.5, 16, or 20 in barrel will serve you much better than a 10.5 or 11.5 in.

300 blk solves the issues 5.56 has with this, just like how the Russians learned about how the AKS-74U sucked ass with 5.45 but short barrels AK's in 7.62x39 were decent. Same issue with the AR15's in 5.56 vs 300blk
