New from Barnes: 300 AAC Blackout
Barnes 300 AAC Blackout
The .300 AAC “Blackout” – 7.62x35mm in metric – was conceived a few years ago by the Advanced Armament Corporation (now a Freedom Group company) as a viable .30-caliber round for M4-type semi-automatic and select-fire carbines that would provide the same range and accuracy as a 5.56x45mm while retaining the same ballistics of the 7.62x39mm and achieve excellent noise signature reduction levels, although remaining supersonic, when fired through a silencer or a sound suppressor.
