Do you know what is costs to outfit 57 guns with red lasers and enough ammo to shoot six mags through them all??? Well, it is more than you have, pal.

Woah, hold on now... I had heard you can save money by putting the mags together:

I knew it. You poors can't even afford a FN, let alone the ammo to shoot six whole mags through them. I mean FULL mags too. Not those ten rounders that you CA poors use.

Six? Six full mags? Dude, that's like $87,483.26!!!! Our taxes are waaaay too high to afford that.

We do have the best roads in the entire country though. They're quite literally paved with gold.

Laser? Are you using NODs? A visible laser would give your position away and if the mob has NODs they can see an IR laser too.

I would think concealment and distance from the mob would be essential to surviving that senario.

Any Vortex LPVO (or if you can afford it, Leupold mark 8 or nightforce ATACR 1-8) and a Trijicon RMR at 45 degree offset mounted with something like the Arisaka Defense canted reflex sight mount.

Will work better with a flash hider than a muzzle brake. But in your scenario you're might need a 12" carbine with a suppressor, mawl and helmet-mounted nods

edit: I guess with a 45 degree offset rmr, a mawl wouldn't work, so in that case you'd want a dbal or peq15, if you can get one
