CMMG just dropped a major announcement this week: they are introducing a new-to-the-AR chambering: 4.6x30mm! This cartridge was initially developed by H&K for the MP7, but is now available as a part of CMMG‘s Banshee AR pistol lineup! In this video we’ll get hands-on with this new platform.

Nice!
For the life of me I don't know why they made this instead of one in 30 carbine.
Or make a wildcat of a 5.7 by necking it up to 6mm or 25 cal… you know, so it's not so dang anemic.
I like it, but it wouldn't be allowed here in Australia.
OK. why are you showing firearms that you cant find ammo for?
make a bolt gun!
Another cartridge to hunt for in stores that only have 5.56, 9mm, 7.62×51 maybe a good cartridge but its the wrong time to release it.
I don't understand why this exists when the 5.7×28 has been well established for a while. I hope you can explain why it is better
OK, I gotta ask, has anybody wildcatted this thing yet? Neck it down to .172 and you should be somewhere in the neighborhood of the 17 Hornady Hornet for case capacity only with a modern case design.
WOW, a new caliber and CMMG didn't make it completely proprietary. Yes, I like the opening video and agree whole heartedly with the series development tract. Really looking forward to the Ballistic Gel tests, and the Reloading segments. Is 4.6 going to be as easy as 5.56 or as finicky as 5.7? Curious minds want to know.
I hope they have a conversion kit available soon. I def wanna run that caliber…
Nice, but I love my 7.62×35
I just want one !! the series is superb idea .
I didn't realize 4.6 was weaker than 9mm.
almost worthless/, i prdict it will die out within the next 5 years
ill pass
YA STAB THAT TRIGGER why dont ya…..
How does it compare with a 22 magnum?
Looks like 22LR specs with a turbo charger on the FPS. .223 is already so soft and easier to find.
I think it would make a good get home gun but the 5.7 would be superior. Ammo is cheaper for the 4.6 but hard to find.
The Banshee no one asked for and no one needs. 4.6 x 30mm…..
I gotta laugh though at seeing the forward assist on these. WTF? It has gotta be the most long lived bad idea in the history of fire arms.
Feeding enough calibers as is. Looks cool but nothing I'd be interested in owning.
being the owner of a Banshee 300 9mm, i think this fad of new calibers are gong to hurt on the long run….
Seriously looking forward to the reloading part, I’m looking to build a short range precision bolt gun in an interesting and unique caliber
How would it compare to the.17 wsm., .17 wsm zips at 2600-3300 fps, but only 15, 20, or 25 gn.
Maybe hk will make a civilian mp7 now
Are you going to be able to measure recoil forces? If so that would be cool. I've always wondered why recoil wasn't measured in a meaningful way beyond a statement of the shooters feeling. Does a muzzle break really reduce the recoil forces and if so by how much? Are some muzzle breaks better than others? All questions I've wondered.
So very similar performance to a .22 WMR ????
This seems like a reloadable 22 mag. Would this be a gun that you would spend your money on?
Hey, I'm looking forward to exploring the 3 rounds you have picked out. Especially the 5.7 mm.
What a way to neuter an AR. What can you hunt with it? Chipmunks? Maybe!?! Sorry, but I do not agree with this being a good cartridge. It looks like a way to make our AR's useless if the government decides to limit ammo sizes. It doesn't even have the velocity of a .223? 1900fps in a BB sized projectile. WASTE OF MONEY!!!
Cartrige seems to be very weak. What is inteded use case for it ? Only shooting steel and paper ?
Why hasn't CMMG made the MX rifle they designed for arma 3 yet?
Gav imma jump in here real quick. I’ve had some issues with CMMG products. I have photos, but I’m not here to bitch. Actually the opposite. Their customer service is outstanding, Bryan over at CMMG is an exceptionally professional individual who hears you out, optimizes solutions and provides the best path forward. If anyone is on the edge, wondering which manufacturer to purchase from. CMMG stands by their work.
