Can anyone identify this side charging piston AR?

What makes you think they're piston?

No buffer tube. I didn't even consider that they would be Semi-Auto shotguns.

Pistons and buffer tubes are unrelated. They have nothing at all to do with each other. For example: The HK416 is a piston gun with a buffer tube. The FM15 is a buffer-less DI gun.

To be fair to OP, there are many more piston designs without buffer tubes than DI designs….

Outside of the FM15 I don't think there's a single DI AR with an internal recoil system.

I didn't imply that it was impossible to have a DI gun w/o a buffer tube, but that when you see a self contained recoil spring system, its almost always a piston driven design.

ZM, Extar, Olympic, LAW, Perun. Does Daewoo count? There's more but I have shit memory. A while back I did a comprehensive list and there were slightly more DI guns than piston.

You have about an equal chance of running into Bigfoot as coming across an LR300.
