However, the heavier Blackout retains more of that energy downrange, having over 130 ft./lbs. However, short-barreled rifles like the Honey Badger upped the game a good bit by producing a short-barreled M4 carbine (optimized for just 9-inch barrels) that delivered similar performance to an AK47 (which fired the 7.62x39mm round) at ranges out to 200 yards and could do so quietly - offering supersonic and subsonic speeds.īest yet, the new round could be used in standard AR15/M4/M16 lowers and feed reliably in a STANAG magazine with no modifications.Īt the muzzle when comparing the two rounds, you get an interesting lesson in physics, with the superfast velocity of the 55-grain bullet on the 5.56mm NATO generating almost the same foot-pounds of energy as the 150-grain bullet of the. At the time, Navy SEALs and Army Delta’s operators used as their go-to CQB blaster the Heckler & Koch MP5-SD, an integrally suppressed 9mm submachine gun, for self defense & close-in action at bad-breath distances. 30 caliber AR-style platform that was both reliable and suppressor-ready and AAC’s Robert Silvers met the need with the original Low Visibility Carbine (AKA Honey Badger) proposal. Back when it was a brilliant suppressor maker, Advanced Armament Company developed a new 7.62x35mm cartridge and weapon to use it (a modified AR-style platform) to spec for an unnamed special operations unit in 2009.
