Looks like 5.56 and M-16 mags which is logical since they are the NATO standard.
I would not get my hopes up as Glock is very oriented to institutional GOV/MIL/LE so even if they make these, they may or may not release a civilian semi auto only version. Or may or may not make them in/for the US.
Speaking of Bushmaster and the ACR, while the BM ACR's were problematic, Remington Defense put quite a bit of work into R&D improvements for the select fire ACR on the MIL/GOV side. I got to shoot one of the Remington Defense improved ACR's during an 870 armorer's class at FLETC and was impressed vs the commercial version.

With the current state of the firearms market, if Glock built them here, they’d sell them as fast as they could box them up and ship them out. The question is would they add the additional production capability to do so, or divert some of the resources used to produce Glock handguns to produce these rifles. Right now Glock is also selling every handgun they make as fast as they can box it up and ship it out. The profit margin on the rifle would have to be pretty great to warrant diverting handgun producing resources.

I first heard rumors of a Glock rifle back in 2011 when I took my Glock armorers course. I believed them then.... but for now, I'll wait til I see it with my own two eyes
I don't see any downside to Glock manufacturing these here. Glock has AMAZING LEO market penetration and lets face it, a zombie hoard of people who would drink Gaston's pee if he told them to. They can make these here for LEO and Military and sell them on the side to civilians. Most LEO aren't going to issue FA guns anyway so there is no real difference between the two. And I also suspect Glock is savvy enough to realize that there is very little likelihood of a ban in the United States (for the time being).
What interests me is that this may not be yet another AR-18. I am hoping for something a little weird. Still, it doesn't look that simple to me. Of course, I may just be looking at it wrong. But I didn't get the impression from the drawings that this gun is anything special in the simplicity department.
