What I like about a forward assist is the ability to feed a round quietly. Release the bolt catch and hold the charging handle while allowing the spring to feed the cartridge as far as possible, SLOWLY. Then use the FA to make sure the bolt is engaged and locked.
No bang-crash noise.

A good point.
On the other hand, if an adversary is close enough to hear an AR-10 being charged, the operator has probably brought the wrong rifle for the job.
An AR-10 just wouldn't occur to me for home/yard defense/CQB, its probably the 2nd to last thing in my cabinet I'd ever consider, beat out only by the M91/30 Mosin Nagant. Then again, the M91/30 has a stout bayonet
Now that you mention it I thought I saw the bushmaster BAR-10s with a forward assist. Didn't recall anyone else with it though.
