However, a short-barreled AR pistol is going to be loud, and an EXP-556 is no exception. You'll think you've unleashed Thor's hammer with each shot

i got one of the very first ones -- sadly i paid like 200 more than they sell for now but even at 650 i still like it -- have shot probably 500 rds through it and only had one issue with a stuck casing (steel case) -- popped it out no problems since -- i did have to change the hammer as the first 100 had a recall on them -- mine didn't have any issues but still changed it --- it is SUPER LOUD and HUGE FLAME -- flame is so big it completely messes with my vision -- but as oldcanon says very low recoil if any really
