Overview
The Duke 556 is an assault rifle seen in the Extended Look’s closing firefight. Jason takes it from a fallen attacker and keeps fighting. No performance figures have been shown for it.
What the firefight shows
The firefight uses a slowed targeting presentation with differently colored target areas. The display does not give the rifle’s damage, ammunition capacity or rate of fire, and nothing shown ties the effect to the Duke 556 itself rather than to a wider character or combat system.
Carrying and storage
Rockstar’s Rob Nelson has described a broader change for long guns: they are physically carried, can be stored in vehicle trunks or Ammu-Nation lockers, and may draw reactions when held openly. This applies to long guns in general, not to this model in particular.
Getting it and other Duke rifles
Taking it from a fallen attacker is the only way of getting the rifle shown so far. Whether it is sold in shops or can be unlocked permanently, its price and where else it turns up in the world have not been revealed. Other Duke carbines have also been seen, but shared branding and similar shapes do not mean every image shows the same model.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the name 556 tell you the ammunition caliber?
No. Rockstar has not given an ammunition specification for the GTA 6 rifle, and the model name alone does not settle it.
