</div>


<p>The B&amp;T SPC9 SD PDW is unique as it comes complete with an integrated compact suppressor. The barrel is ported to reduce the velocity of the standard FMJ loads to subsonic velocity, thus not breaking the speed of sound. The PDW can be ordered to accept B&amp;T, Glock, SIG 320, Walther P99, or HKSPF9 magazines. The product exists in semi-automatic only. B&amp;T produces other products with the ability for select fire.</p>

<p>The APC9K was adopted in 2019 by the U.S. Army as its next-generation Subcompact Weapon (SCW). The weapon performed extremely well during the official Picatinny Arsenal trials. It had the most noticeable performance by having only two stoppages over an 18,000-round torture test and accuracy that far exceeded the required 100mm group at 35 meters. The APC9 Pro K can be ordered with a corresponding lower to accept B&amp;T, Glock, SIG 320, Walther P99 or HKSPF9 magazines.</p>

<p>The CMMG FourSix is the first-ever AR to hit the civilian market that’s chambered in 4.6x30mm. With an impressive 40-round magazine capacity, light recoil, and great penetration at close distances, CMMG’s FourSix is here to reimagine the personal defense weapon. CMMG’s FourSix is built on the company’s BANSHEE, Mk4 platform which features AR-15 controls and modularity. Best of all, the patented CMMG 40RD 4.6x30mm magazine will seat into a standard AR-15 magwell, which means users can pair their existing AR-15 lower receiver with a CMMG FourSix upper receiver and magazine.</p>

<p>Mossberg 590S-series 12-gauge pump-actions are capable of cycling 1.75, 2.75 and 3-inch shotshells interchangeably without the use of an adaptor. The series includes two full-length stock and two Shockwave versions, the shortest of which is featured here. Key changes include redesigned elevator, bolt slide and an energy-absorbing bumper. This patent-pending platform allows the user to load their choice of shotshell length/type for their specific needs, and in any combination. Use of shorter shell lengths will also increase the overall capacity of the 590S.</p>

<p>The OG Honey Badger was developed at AAC by previous owner and Q founder Kevin Brittingham and his R&amp;D team at the request of an elite U.S. Special Operations group looking to replace their MP5-SD’s with an upgraded platform. Requirements included the ability to shoot a rifle caliber round while maintaining low visibility and excellent signature suppression. Developed in conjunction with 300 AAC Blackout, the Honey Badger was born, exceeded expectations, but never made it to the commercial market.</p>



<p>Enter the Honey Badger SD by Q. At first glance, this Honey Badger appears to be the same as the original. Q focused on taking the iconic Badger to the next level and improved upon every technical aspect of the first-generation design. From the proprietary, under-handguard suppressor, custom gas system, custom AR trigger, and its telescoping stock – HB 2.0 does not disappoint.</p>



<p>Want a Honey Badger, but don’t want to deal with the hassle of a two-stamp gun? Q offers the Honey Badger SBR with a short handguard and no can making it 6 inches shorter, overall, as shown below.</p>

The SLX series is a performance-based suppressor designed for use with supersonic ammunition and ideal for users focused on flash reduction and lower toxic fumes with excellent signature reduction.</p>

<p>An SRT Arms integral suppressor assures hi-velocity ammo will run at subsonic speeds and is shorter and quieter than any muzzle-attached suppressor using similar ammunition. Accuracy is typically enhanced over the factory barrel as we use a tensioned barrel suppressor design. This integral suppressor is removable from the gun for service.

<p>The <strong>Dominus-SR</strong> is a true light-weight “go to war” suppressor and is perfect for 5.56 assault rifles and .30 caliber battle rifles, including SBR and full-auto variants. It retains the accuracy and repeatability TBAC is known for. It’s equally at home on a 0.25 MOA bolt rifle on the 1500-yard range as it is on a MK18 in the CQB house. Note that Thunder Beast does not list sound reduction in the spec chart below and instead lists the measured sound level because the unsuppressed starting point changes based on muzzle device used.</p>

<p>The <strong>338 ULTRA SR</strong> is TBAC’s high-performance .338 caliber suppressor. It offers class leading suppression levels for big magnums like .300 Norma and .338 Lapua Magnum, a light weight design, and our “SR” quick attach/detach mount that offers locking secondary retention in addition to absolute return to zero.  It was Accuracy International’s choice for the ASR submission rifle. Note that Thunder Beast does not list sound reduction in the spec chart below and instead lists the measured sound level because the unsuppressed starting point changes based on muzzle device used.</p>

<p>The <strong>Phantom .22</strong> provides superior sound reduction thanks to a newly designed baffle system. Features include a shielded, interlocking baffle stack made from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel, a two-part outer assembly with an aluminum blast chamber, and a tube which houses the baffle stack. The rear of the blast chamber serves as the takedown tool for the muzzle cap. The Phantom .22 can handle rounds up to 5.7x28mm while only weighing four ounces.</p>

<p>When YHM set out to make the <strong>R9</strong>, the goal was a 9mm suppressor capable of handling high volumes of fire while able to run other calibers such as .300 BLK and .308 Win. Primarily focused on suppressing 9mm (specifically submachine guns and SBRs,) it was made at a budget-friendly price while maintaining the durability one expects from YHM. The R9 is capable of being used on a handgun in conjunction with our Nielsen booster assembly.</p>
