Trivia[]

  • The US556 is based on the M4A1 carbine in its Block II configuration with the Daniel Defense RIS II handguard. It also has a Magpul STR buttstock, Magpul MBUS sights, and a SureFire SF3P flash hider.
  • Its name is based on its country of origin, the United States, and the caliber of ammunition it fires, 5.56x45mm NATO.
  • Trailers for the game depicted it without any sights at all, but its world model is equipped with a set of foldable iron sights in the final game. Its inventory image, however, remains without sights.
  • Deacon holds the US556 in a "C" Clamp grip. This grip method has the user grip the handguard forward near the muzzle with their support hand with their thumb resting on the top pointed forward, giving them more stability and faster recovery from recoil.
