The auto shotgun was fun to shoot, not particularly practical for the field.
Last rifle on the left is the 10.5" version of the HK416.
Weight is roughly the same as the 10.5" M-4, with the 416 being slightly heavier, IIRC.
Front sight is modular and removable. You do not need a front sight with the optical sight in place, as long as it is functioning. I have no idea why the rear sight was mounted and the front sight was not, other than the possibility that the front was easier to remove.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
