clarification of ammunition type
AAC Honey Badger is a fully automatic short barrel carbine type PDW weapon developed by Kevin Brittingham of Advanced Armament Corporation (AAC) in association with US SOCOM units. Developed based on the AR-15 weapon frame, Honey Badger was intended to be a more suitable replacement for close quarter weapon systems such as MP5.
Developed with a standard M4 upper and lower receiver, it features a shorter barrel with a higher twist rate, gas impingement system cycle is modified to be very short. Designed specifically to chamber the AAC .300 BLK Blackout cartridge, Honey Badger achieves a cyclic rate of fire of around 800 rounds per minute, while feeding on STANAG magazines of various capacities.
Honey Badger has a specially designed integrated suppressor. The suppressor can be removed but firing accuracy will be drastically reduced. With the subsonic cartridge Honey Badger fires, the noise generated from shooting is even lower than most similar products suppressed weapons on the market. The weapon itself does not come with any factory default iron sights, but has Picatinny rails atop and below the hand-guard to mount iron sights, optics and other accessories such as a fore-grip. It also features an adjustable stock.
