So the Bren Ten, which does have a massive following far outstripping it's actual numbers. Try again faggot.
The Guns That Don't Exist(But really, they do...)
A STANAG M1 Carbine in 5.56. Basic M1 Carbine beats a standard AR by over a pound and it can't all be in the caliber. Winchester made some prototypes so it's certainly possible to make.
A modern cap and ball designed for concealed carry by minors and for home defense in those countries that only allow cap and ball (France only requires you be 18 from what I've heard).
Already exists, Ingram made a whole bunch of M1 Carbines in 5.56, x39 and 7.62REALFUCKINGNATO all of which used common magazines unlike rugers abomination of pie plates though rugers have gotten better in recent years
Sauce? Can't find any relevent results with 5.56 inland m1 carbine.
Also: Ruger's abomination is a 5.56 M14 (hence "Mini 14"). The M14 was an M1 Garand with a mag instead of en-bloc clips. It's not at all an M1 Carbine.

Basically the Mini-14 killed it from going anywhere. Those that were made float around the 2.5k mark.
I know that, its why I call it an abomination. I was referring to old man Ruger's fetish with 10 round proprietary stuff.
Just get a mini 14
1. It's a really interesting concept that caught my attention. I also think a bit of autism can actually make it function properly.
2. Despite being a beretta I don't hear much about them.
Very cute
It's a .380 that isn't a pocket gun. You're 50 years too late for them to really be popular.
They are very nice guns though.
Why, I wonder? I want to say that the tappet would be harder to 'tune' and get running properly, but wasn't the ability to work reliably with inconsistent and overpressure ammo the entire point of the design?
Long stroke pistons don't give two fucks about over pressure where tappet systems need X ammo or bad things happen.
