The CMMG Banshee MK57

Algorithm

with the CMMG banshee, are the internals similar enough to a standard ar15 where i can substitute a left side ejecting/right side charging(gibbz arms) upper? i like the manual of arms of this upper and trying to get all my ARs with the same upper, just wish they were 330/apiece lol.

Makes you wonder if Special operations would use something like this

I also live in Texas. I'm trying to figure out why anyone in Texas would prefer a rifle in black (or any other dark color). So I'm curious, why do you prefer rifles in black?

I dig the Banshee, but mine is in 9mm. Just made more sense to me. Already had numerous Glock mags and a crap ton of 9mm ammo.

I will say that the FNH Redbox ammo will shoot through Kevlar vest, and the hollow points shot through a inch thick slab of plexiglass. It kind of blew my mind.

I’d much prefer a PS90. The barrel is far longer and it holds 50 rounds.
Tho saying that I sold my FN 5.7 a year ago. So I sorta lost interest.

There's a lot of gas coming out of the ejection port when you shoot suppressed. Tell you what though – you have sold me on the radial delayed blowback design.

Great content as always…could you please do a video on 6.5 Grendel?

I was super surprised when the meme bullets actually turned out to be good. Most often that's not the case.

@ 13:20, during the reload a round went flying out of the ejection port…

How long of a barrel would be needed for 2300 fps?

What optic/mount is that?

You know Chris, CMMG also sell the 5.7×28 uppers for a standard ar15 lower, as well as a 40 round magazine that fits in it

Great video. Thank you sir.

Thanks for what's again a top rate presentation ! What's your opinion on using this delayed blowback system with the .30 Carbine cartridge in a PCC set-up or in a pistol like this one ? Is that cartridge suited as a personal defense round you think ?

for the cmmg price: they could be offering a better quality barrel.

Well that's just plain interesting! I personally would never buy this particular item, well that's a lie I would if I were very very wealthy, but you know what I mean, but these technical details are fascinating.

The radial design is a great idea, though it remains to be seen how durable it is.

I enjoyed this interesting and informative video. That said, the barrel is way too short IMO (a 5" barrel is ok for the 9x19mm and .45 ACP pistol rounds but ludicrous for the 5.7x28mm round). The barrel should be around 10.5" like the P90 and MK18. I would much prefer a Banshee chambered for the 9x25mm Dillon round (10.5" barrel) that used Glock 20 mags.

Problem with 5.7×28 is its not that much better terminally than .22 magnum. Even out of a 7.5 inch barrel 5.56x45mm AR15 you are getting far better terminal effectiveness than you would with 5.7×28 out of a 16 inch PS-90 rifle. I think this was obvious for militaries around the world which is why why 5.7×28 never really caught on.

You had something from pro mag work,that's an accomplishment!

I fee like this video was in 1.5x speed

interesting ammo stupid name. that should go over as well as black talon. the name should have safety in there somewhere.

Ejection pattern seems to be all over the place.

Ok, so straight up lie. The firearms produced by FN in 5.7X28 were not cheap, but I've never seen a PS90 of the FN5.7 for $2,000.00, like I said they're not cheap, but not over $2,000.00. My FN5.7 was $1250.00…

CMMG MX 6.5 x 39 rifle when?

I wish they would make a banshee in .30 carbine.

13:20
What happened there?

Never forget Fort Hood.

I love the smell of Firearm gasses.

That Black Dragon Fang from Vanguard Outfitters looks awesome. Glad to see some good defensive loads for 5.7.

It’s good to see that the 5.7 round is being resurrected.

A CMMG AR is built to a higher quality standard than an FNH product?????

The blowback system and a bottleneck cartridge are not a good combination as the shoulder gets pushed pretty far forward and is very noticeable to the naked eye. Just curious if the radial delayed blowback improves that situation.

Can’t wait to see what you say on the Ruger 5.7 if you ever do. Or the FN57

Some people can’t see something good if it’s right in their face. This little bastard kick’s ass.

I hope you and the missues are doing well

Sure but where can I find 5.7 by the case
