It&#8217;s an AR-10 platform chambered for 8.6mm Blackout (they also offer it in .243 Win, .260 Rem, 6.5CM, and .308 Win). It weighs in at just 7.2 pounds with a 16&#8243; barrel, so it&#8217;s not an NFA item (they do also offer a 12&#8243; pistol pattern). I&#8217;ve got my Q Porq Chop on it as a suppressor, and I&#8217;m using subsonic ammo &#8211; with this combination it is sort recoiling and completely hearing-safe. The loudest part of the gun is the action clacking closed after each shot&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We also took the opportunity today to put a round of Gorilla&#8217;s 342gr subsonic expanding ammunition into a block of Clear Ballistics gel &#8211; and holy cow. It&#8217;s a bullet designed to expand while retaining all its mass, and it sure does. The utility of the 1:3&#8243; rifling of the 8.6mm cartridge is that it provides a massive amount of rotational energy to allow the bullet to expand reliably even if it&#8217;s traveling relatively slowly at range. It came out of the gel looking like an honest-to-goodness grappling hook&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
