The AAC Honey Badger is an AR-pattern personal defense weapon, designed primarily for use in a suppressed configuration. It is chambered in .300 AAC Blackout and was originally produced by Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC). [2] The weapon is named after the honey badger. [3]
The barrel length is reduced to 310 mm. The 8 inch twist rate of the barrel is especially adapted to stabilize the long heavy projectiles used in subsonic ammunition. The propellant charge of subsonic ammunition is reduced to keep the bullet velocity (300–320 m/s (980–1,050 ft/s) below the speed of sound (~ 340 m/s (1,100 ft/s)).
Several calibers were supported through the various configurations possible including .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, .300 AAC Blackout, and 6.5mm Creedmoor, which barrel lengths ranging from Short-barreled rifle lengths (less than 16") to up to 20" in length, depending on the caliber.
The .300 BLK configuration features a gas regulator for both supersonic and subsonic loads. X95 330 : Carbine configuration with a 330 mm (13 in) barrel and a 580 mm (22.8 in) overall length X95 380 : Assault rifle configuration with a 380 mm (15 in) barrel and a 640 mm (25.2 in) overall length, out of production and replaced by the X95 419
The MCX is designed to deliver optimal performance with .300 AAC Blackout and an optional suppressor. [11] The barrel's profile is tapered at the crown to enable the installation of muzzle devices and direct-thread sound suppressors without the use of washers that degrade performance and enables the devices to self-center on installation.
In addition, Desert Tech presented their research data that clearly showed suppressors significantly improve the accuracy of Rifles by upwards of 1 MOA for the MDR. [19] For comparison on September 23rd 2022, Desert Tech asserted the worst accuracy in the MDRx was in .308 in the 16" length barrel. The resulting performance was 1.6 MOA suppressed.
Alternatively, specialized firearms and ammunition may be used to optimize total subsonic ammunition effectiveness. These are designed from the start as dedicated subsonic projectile systems. Some examples include .300 Whisper, 300 AAC Blackout, .338 Whisper, 8.6mm Blackout, 9×39mm, 12.7×55mm STs-130, .500 Whisper, and .510 Whisper.
The LWRC PSD is an ultra-short barrel carbine with an 8-inch barrel and Magpul CTR stock. Derived from the M6A2 carbine, it comes chambered in 5.56mm NATO or 6.8mm Remington SPC. [ 11 ] It is also available without a stock as the M6A2-P Pistol, but is semi-automatic and also chambered in 5.56mm and 6.8mm Remington SPC.
