New Taurus ART556 & CT556

[bwsmg]

At LAAD '11 Taurus introduced a new assault rifle called the ART556. The rifle, as its name suggests, is chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO.

Externally, the rifle appears to have borrowed features from the FN SCAR and the Bushmaster ACR. It has a forward charging handle that looks like it can be switched to either the left or right side. The upper is aluminum and the lower is polymer with an integrated magwell grip. The gun appears to use an AR-15 compatible pistol grip. It has a safe/semi/3 round burst/full selector switch.

A lot of good that folding stock is unless the ejection port can be ambi as well. At least my AR-180 folds left.

From the angle, It looks to be out of the way.

I'm game if the price is under $1k.

I don't think we will ever see it.

I was sort of hoping that they'd built a revolver in 5.56...

The Judge meets the AR sort of thing.

So what is the CT556 that you mention in the title?
