A few:. . . I can't see what advantage they provide over a short barreled AR rifle with a folding stock.
Well theres your problem! You have an "enhancer" on the end of your barrel there!A 5.56 10.5" is sinus-clearingly concussive, and so loud you'll wonder what just went wrong. You won't shoot it twice inside. . .

A .300BO 10.5" is much more civilized.
I have experience with several kits by PSA and Bear Creek, and I like them a lot. They fit my idea of a <150 yard defensive weapon very well.
That would be an M4. I take it that's not you in your avatar.....A guys 223 pistol was hard on my ears yesterday at the range. Even when double plugged. Needs a suppressor.
My m16 with a 14.5 bbl never seemed that loud.
That's a flash diverter. Without the diverter the concussion is much worse, but the flash is so large out the sides that I feared for my cell phone's safety and didn't film it.Well there's your problem! You have an "enhancer" on the end of your barrel there!
No, M16A1 Carbine. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?media/m16a1-carbine-sold-in-2011.539/That would be an M4. I take it that's not you in your avatar....
They are a cool idea, but stuff like that usually gets used little and generally tends to suck to actually shoot with. Its not the only one like that. My son got something similar for his Mossberg Shockwave, and its even scarier with the same issue.Thanks for the heads up, AK103K, I was considering getting the Law folder, but since I am a 'nose to the charging handle guy', I'll pass on it.
The flash hider you use makes a major difference. There is virtually no flash at all (in any direction) with he AAC flash hider. There was a video floating around YouTube showing which ones worked the best, and both of the AAC's were in the top 3.That's a flash diverter. Without the diverter the concussion is much worse, but the flash is so large out the sides that I feared for my cell phone's safety and didn't film it.
The .300 BO sounds like a loud pistol. . . the 5.56 sounds like a barrel-splitting kaboom failure, and it's worse without a forward-facing muzzle device.
To be clear, I'm sure a flash hider would reduce flash, and good flash is very effective. My comments are specific to concussion, and the diverter reduces it at the users ears/sinuses.The flash hider you use makes a major difference. There is virtually no flash at all (in any direction) with he AAC flash hider.

You need an AAC "Blackout" flash suppressor. You wont have all that.

The folders have good and bad points.
They are expensive, and really to expensive for what they are.
They do work, and you can still fire the round in the chamber, although its not really recommended. They unfold quickly and easily without having to push any buttons or releases, and they lock open solidly.
Takedown is still pretty easy, but there are still extra things to do.
They do make the whole package a lot thicker when folded. Its smaller in overall length, but its about twice the thickness when it is folded.
The biggest annoyance to me is, the hinge is in a bad spot if youre a right-handed shooter. It would be better if they had it on the right side of the gun. If youre not careful when shouldering and shooting, youll get a mouthful of that hinge and it hurts when you catch your teeth. This is especially so, if youre a "nose to the charging handle" shooter. You need to keep your head back.
I had some leftover money when I was putting my pistol together and thats when I got mine. I wouldn't bother now, unless they reversed the hinge.
Even without folding, I can still get the guns into fairly small packages. And you can always separate the halves too, if you want it smaller, and arent in a total panic to get it out and running. They still go together quick when apart.
