what kind of weapon is this?
grumpy old man:
I would like to know what kind of weapon is in the photo. In the near future I am going to be looking for a semi auto military style weapon. Not interested in an AR-15 as I am looking for something that the barrel is a little shorter and could be used when the SHTF. something that could reach out and touch its target at 200 yds but be nimble enough to carry without a four foot long rifle strapped to me. would eventually put a good laser optic on it with a fore-grip. Any ideas. I know a lot about pistols but I haven't been around military style rifles even during my time in the military as I was in the M60A3 combat tanks.

That's an SBR. (Short barreled rifle.) looks like a 7 inch barrel.

That is an AR-15 with a short barrel. That's the great thing about AR-15s, you can mix and match a lot of different parts to make it what you want. Keep in mind short barrels such as this will require a $200 tax, paperwork, background check, and a wait while everything is processed, etc. In regards to what you are looking for, specifically a rifle that can reach out to 200 yards, well you may be looking at the wrong barrel length in the photo. Even a 16" or longer AR doesn't do that great out to 200 yards if you are talking shooting through body armor.
An AR-10 (.308) or AR-15 in .300AAC might be more capable out to 200 yards.

I can't quite make out the brand on the lower, but it looks to me like this is a combination of several manufacturer's parts. It really doesn't matter what the brand is, you can probably find all the parts and put it together and/or have someone help you put it together. It is fun, a learning experience, and rewarding to build one.
