I don't think a full sized rifle is the right tool for a GHB.
I think ARs and MBRs are tools for defending fixed positions, and for patrol situation AFTER everything has gone to heck.
When you are still in the thick of things, and your trying to get home as soon as possible, I think you need something closer to the PDW concept. Yes you may need something that has a good deal of firepower, but you also may still need to blend in. You don't want to be targeted at you rmost vulnerable because your the only one running around with an AR, plate carrier, and LBV.
What you need in my opinion is something that holds 10 - 20 rounds in a detachable mag, is semi-atuto, can reach out to 100 yards accurately, but can still be hidden under a coat or under a car seat. One of the Optic ready full size service pistols (M&P Pro / FNP Tactical) would fit the bill on the small end, or something like and AR pistol with a small red dot on the large end. A Sub 2000 may also fit the bill.
That way you can bring firepower to bear without sticking out like a sore thumb the other 99% of the time.
