I still don't get the point of 300 blackout

That sure looks like the silencershop guy.

To be fair inhandloads the 6.8 and 7.62x39 can replicate most of the properties of 300blk and even beat it out in certain areas. Apparently the 308 can too, but I'm wondering what was involved in terms of adjustable gas blocks, buffer springs, etc..

Well, even if he is someone of report, it still isn't commercially available so in my mind it isn't viable. Having said that though, and I guess I should go back and edit the post, none of the vids NWS posted are in AR15/M16 pattern hosts, which is what the 300blk was designed for.

In that platform rifle, only the 6.8 you mentioned would be competition.

I should have said AR15/M16 platform rifle instead of semi automatic.

Just giving you crap man. I kinda got over suppressed semi auto pretty quick. I'm all about the bolt guns right now.

Good ole Silvers even put 300blk into an AK, but he said it was not hearing safe with subs due to the gas port.

Holy mother of all weirdness....an AK in 300blk? Weird!

I really haven;t spent much time shooting subs unless I'm in my yard, just bored with short range right now.

Not really if you think about it, just a barrel swap on a 556 AK.

Oh, I know...but your points are valid. My original point was that to take the ar15/m16 pattern rifles up to .30 caliber and suppress them, there is no competition (in my mind) for the 300blk.

Now, if you want to change host weapons (ie: exactly what you posted), then the conversation changes.

Which in itself is weird.

if factory subs in 6.8 existed I would never even think of 300blk. 6.8 terminal ballistics are just sick and the ability to shoot 200gr subs that cycle are decent enough for me, but I'm sure some people lie that the 300blk can get heavier and will likely have more subsonic expansion.

You guys who give your measly paychecks to your wives are pretty pathetic.

Oh the commoners! What a chuckle they are!
